Three 800-word commentaries on news articles applying IB Economics concepts. Worth 20% at HL & SL.
IB Economics can feel challenging when you understand the theory but struggle to apply it to an unfamiliar question. You need to connect concepts, diagrams, evidence and evaluation within a time limit. If your feedback repeatedly says “explain further” or “needs evaluation,” individual support can help. At Sev7n, bring a marked response so we can discuss the specific skills you need to develop.
Both levels cover introductory economics, microeconomics, macroeconomics and the global economy. HL includes additional content and Paper 3, which combines quantitative work with economic policy questions. At Sev7n, we offer tuition for both levels, with preparation matched to your assessments. Share your HL or SL level, current topics and exam session so your lessons focus on the depth and skills your course requires.
Yes, we offer guidance to help you understand the Economics IA requirements and develop the skills needed for your commentaries. We can discuss what makes a news article suitable for economic analysis and how concepts, diagrams and evaluation fit together. Support must follow your school’s rules: your article choices, analysis and submitted writing remain your own. Keep your school teacher involved throughout the process.

Your free demo is a live, one-to-one lesson where you can experience our teaching before enrolling. Share your level, target grade and main concern when booking.

Focus on accurate definitions, correctly labelled diagrams, real-world application, evaluation and answering according to the command term. Regular practice with examiner-style feedback can help identify where marks are being lost.
HL includes additional quantitative content and Paper 3, while SL is assessed through Papers 1 and 2 plus the Internal Assessment. The depth and exam preparation required therefore differ between the two levels.
Tutoring can focus on essay structure and evaluation for Paper 1, data interpretation for Paper 2, and quantitative and policy questions for HL Paper 3.
