IB Economics Syllabus & Curriculum
The IB Economics syllabus underwent a significant update for the first examinations in May 2022, resulting in a more modern and application-focused curriculum.
A New Conceptual Framework
The curriculum is now built around four units: Introduction to Economics, Microeconomics, Macroeconomics, and The Global Economy. A major shift is the focus on applying theory to real-world issues through nine key concepts, including sustainability, equity, and intervention. This moves beyond memorisation towards critical analysis.
Updated Assessment Structure
The assessment model has been revamped to test these new skills. This includes a challenging quantitative paper (Paper 3) for HL students and a new Internal Assessment (IA) requiring a portfolio of three commentaries on news articles.
Navigating the Demands
These changes require strong analytical and evaluative abilities. To master the new material, many students seek an experienced IB Econs tutor. A structured IB Economics tuition program is invaluable for building these skills. This is why quality IB Economics tuition in Singapore focuses on honing the critical thinking and quantitative reasoning essential for success.
Common IB Economics Challenges Faced by Students
Challenge 1: Applying Theories to the Real World
It’s one thing to memorise “market failure,” but another to actually use it in an essay or IA. This is where most students lose marks.
- An IB Econs tutor can bridge that gap. We use current news and simple frameworks to show you how to connect theories to reality, helping you build arguments that score top marks.
Challenge 2: Taking the HL Paper 3
Paper 3 is a surprise for students who prefer essays. Taking it requires a more advanced skill set while under extreme time pressure.
- Our IB Economics tuition tackles this head-on. We drill down on the specific calculations you'll face, from elasticities to Lorenz curves, until you can solve them with confidence.
Challenge 3: Tackling the IA Portfolio
Finding the right articles, squeezing your analysis into the word count, and hitting every point on the rubric are all aspects of the IA that require a balancing act.
- Our IB Economics tuition in Singapore provides step-by-step mentorship. We help you pick winning articles and structure your commentaries perfectly, turning a major source of stress into a chance to show off your skills.

What Our Students Say About Our IB Economics Tuition
Don has been a helpful and patient tutor throughout the period of coaching my child. He understood my child’s struggles and gave him valuable advice. I’m very happy that my child has shown great improvement in his A level results under Don’s coaching.
-Chen Jen
Throughout my JC journey, I was scoring Ds and Es since economics was an entirely new subject that I was very unfamiliar with. However, Mr Don helped me clarify concepts and work towards writing concise essays while accurately answering questions. Considering his familiarity with the JC syllabus, he was able to convey concepts that I should focus on and provide more accurate essay answers. despite being his student for a short period of 1-2 months, his lessons ultimately helped me score an A for the first time during A levels
natasha nadira Imran
I was a home-schooler taking IGCSE Econs, and Don was of great help to me during my time of economics prep. I was doing a typically two-year-long course in one year and went from not knowing a thing about economics to getting an A on my exams. Don's classes were very well organised and I could see that there was a clear aim with every class. He was patient with me and took ample time to teach me the mental and emotional side of sitting for the exam, as well as teaching me the subject itself. We also shared our personal experiences and talked about things that were outside of just learning economics, which further helped create the environment where I felt that I was in safe hands. Don’s teaching is precise and methodical. Overall, I got the perfect mix of comfort and progress in his teaching.

Don prepares notes that are helpful and explains Econs concept clearly. He is very approachable and never fail to clarify my doubts during lesson. With his extensive help, I was able to achieve an improvement of 2 grades within as short as two months. Would highly recommend him to any student struggling with Econs.
- Nathalie Goh
don is a super chill guy. he is super understanding and is out to assist us in achieving what we want in the subject. in fact, he pushes us to perform even better than what we are aiming for. He always ensures that we understand the concepts of economics, even if he has to repeat them multiple times, while also devising alternative explanations to help us grasp them. not only that, he would also go the extra mile and use his time outside of the fixed lesson durations to help us in our understanding of the subject. all in all, 10/10 economics tutor, highly recommended. THANKS SO MUCH, DON

FAQs on IB Economics Tuition in Singapore
We know that choosing the right academic support is a big decision. Here are clear, straightforward answers to the questions most frequently asked by IB students and parents in Singapore.
How can tuition actually help me get a 7 in IB Economics?
Getting a 7 requires mastering exam technique, not just course content. A specialist IB Econs tutor provides the strategic edge by teaching you how to score.
⦁ Essay Mastery: We teach you a proven framework for Paper 1 essays to ensure you hit every analysis and evaluation point.
⦁ Targeted Application: You’ll build a powerful bank of real-world examples and learn exactly how to apply them for maximum marks.
⦁ IA Optimisation: We provide end-to-end guidance on your Internal Assessment portfolio, turning this stressful component into a grade-booster.
⦁ HL Paper 3 Strategy: For HL students, we run intensive drills on the specific quantitative skills and time management needed to conquer this paper.
Our IB Economics tuition focuses on translating your knowledge into marks.
Is IB Economics a hard subject?
IB Economics is considered challenging because it’s a skills-based subject, not a memory test. Students are required to:
⦁ Apply complex theories to unfamiliar real-world situations.
⦁ Critically evaluate economic policies and arguments.
⦁ (For HL) Perform quantitative analysis under time pressure.
While the concepts themselves are manageable, mastering these skills is the real challenge. A structured tuition programme makes the subject significantly less “hard” by teaching you the specific skills and frameworks needed to succeed.
What's the main difference between IB Economics SL and HL?
Both SL and HL cover the same core units, but the depth and assessment are significantly different.
⦁ HL Content: HL students study additional, more complex topics and quantitative methods.
⦁ The HL Paper 3: This is the biggest differentiator. It is a 1-hour quantitative paper that requires HL students to solve problems, interpret data, and perform calculations. It demands a distinct skill set that our IB Economics tuition in Singapore specifically prepares students for.
My IB Economics IA is stressing me out. How do you help?
The IA portfolio is a common pain point, but we turn it into a strength. Our structured IA mentorship covers everything from start to finish:
⦁ Article Selection: We help you find high-scoring news articles that allow for deep, focused economic analysis.
⦁ Structuring & Frameworks: You get a clear template for your commentaries to ensure you meet the strict word count and hit every rubric point.
⦁ Analysis & Evaluation: We teach you how to develop the insightful, critical evaluation that separates a 5 from a 7.
⦁ Draft Feedback: You receive detailed, actionable feedback on your drafts to polish your work to perfection.
What should I look for in a good IB Econs tutor?
When searching for the best IB Econs tutor for your needs, prioritise these three factors:
IB-Specific Experience: The tutor must have deep, proven experience with the IB curriculum, its unique assessment objectives, and what examiners look for. General economics knowledge is not enough.
Focus on Application: A great tutor doesn’t just lecture. They constantly use current events and case studies to teach you how to apply theories in an exam context.
A Proven Track Record: Look for clear evidence of past student success, such as testimonials and a history of significant grade improvements.
I have no prior Economics knowledge. Can I still do well?
Absolutely. The IB Economics course is designed from the ground up with no prerequisite knowledge assumed. It starts with fundamental concepts in Year 1. In fact, starting fresh can be an advantage as you won’t have any bad habits to unlearn. Our IB Economics tuition is perfect for beginners, as we ensure you build a rock-solid foundation from day one, setting you up for success throughout the two-year programme.
When is the best time to start tuition? Is Year 2 too late?
The beginning of IB Year 1 (Grade 11) is the ideal start. This allows you to build a strong, consistent foundation and develop skills over time without pressure.
Many of our students join in Year 2 yet still achieve remarkable results. It is absolutely not too late. For Year 2 students, our IB Economics tuition becomes highly targeted. We quickly diagnose your weaknesses, focus on plugging knowledge gaps, and intensively drill exam strategies for all papers.
What is the class size for your IB Economics tuition?
We keep our class sizes intentionally small, typically with fewer than 8 students per group. This is a core part of our teaching philosophy. Small groups ensure every student gets personalised attention, feels comfortable asking questions, and receives the individual feedback needed to improve. It combines the focused energy of a group with the benefits of individual mentorship.
Can I book a trial class to see if it's a good fit?
Yes, we strongly encourage it. We offer a no-obligation trial class because we believe in the quality of our teaching and want you to experience it firsthand. It’s the best way for you to meet our IB Econs tutor, understand our teaching style, and see for yourself how we can help you achieve your academic goals before making any commitment.
