William Francis
Algebra Tutor • +17 Subjects
I am currently a rising freshman at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and plan on majoring in business and potentially computer science. I have a passion for math and have tutored my younger brother (2 years younger) and his friends for the past few years during which I have come to enjoy tutoring. My favorite subject to tutor is math up to AP Calculus AB, and physics as that is what I have the most experience with. I have a very strong focus on helping students understand WHY they are doing something in a math problem instead of just telling them what to do, as I feel that allows the student to understand the material significantly better. I also have experience tutoring the math section of the SAT.
Clayton
Arithmetic Tutor • +10 Subjects
In sharing my qualifications and interests, I hope to provide you with tremendous confidence in my abilities to not only establish a strong rapport with you, but to also be an exceptional teacher in arithmetic, elementary math, middle school math, and pre-algebra!I currently have seven years of experience teaching upper elementary education. The last two years of my career were spent in Hong Kong at an international Christian school. During this time, I learned a lot about how to connect with a wide variety of students and learning styles. In 2007, I received my Bachelor's in Elementary Education at Missouri Western State University and, in 2010, I completed my Master's in Elementary Administration at William Woods University.I consider myself to be a creative individual, with a variety of interests including family, outdoors, and music. Almost every Sunday, my wife, my daughter, and I go to my parents' house to have lunch and spend time with my family. When I lived in Hong Kong, this was something that I really missed a lot! My interest in music is rooted in the fact that I was in band all through school and college. I can play the Euphonium, a little piano, guitar, harmonica, and the mandolin. And if you are wondering what kinds of things I like to do outdoors, it would most definitely be hiking and fishing! In fact, I almost wish I could be outdoors catching some fish right now!

Esther
1st Grade Reading Tutor • +57 Subjects
I have recently graduated from the Burnett Honors College at the University of Central Florida with a Bachelors degree in Biomedical Sciences. This upcoming year I am going to the Institute of Human Nutrition at Columbia University to get an MS in Nutrition and Metabolism.I have been a tutor for college students for 2 years at my university, teaching Organic Chemistry 1 and General Chemistry. I've also helped high school students with college admission essays, and with kindergartners in the Junior Achievement program.I enjoy working with children and finding creative ways for them to learn the material and to try to inspire a desire to learn by making learning fun for them. I also really enjoy teaching general chemistry, because I find the material fascinating. When I tutor a student, I don't just give them the answers, but rather I guide them to the answers. It is important that a student learns how to find the answers themselves so they do not become dependent on outside sources.
Neal
Algebra Tutor • +30 Subjects
I am currently a student at the University of Missouri Kansas City as a part of their 6 year direct medical program. Medicine is my passion, and I'm thrilled that we are able to interview patients in the hospital and learn from them very early on in the process.The best teachers I've ever had have been more than just adults. They were passionate about the material they taught, and that passion was carried over to me. That is the main thing I hope to show students. A passion that will help them understand the material better.One of my favorite parts of tutoring is getting to know the students' learning style and how they think. The best part is that I have just recently taken all the subjects I have listed to tutor in. The information is fresh in my mind, so I can approach the content from many different angles to help the student understand the material.Outside of school, I spend a lot of my time at Buffalo Wild Wings, hands down the best wings I have ever eaten. Consequently, I also spend a lot of my time exercising - usually swimming or weightlifting.

Frequently Asked Questions
IB Economics SL demands deeper analytical thinking and a more global perspective than standard economics courses. You're not just learning economic concepts—you're applying economic theory to real-world issues, analyzing case studies, and developing critical evaluation skills that the IB curriculum emphasizes heavily.
The course also requires strong quantitative skills, including data interpretation and the ability to construct economic diagrams with precision. The final exams test both knowledge and application, with questions that push you to think beyond textbook definitions and make connections between different economic concepts.
Many students struggle with the transition from descriptive economics to analytical thinking—understanding why something happens, not just what happens. Another common challenge is mastering the specific IB command terms like 'evaluate,' 'justify,' and 'explain,' which require different levels of analysis and can significantly impact exam marks.
Students also often underestimate the importance of real-world application and current examples. The IB loves connecting theory to global events, and without regular practice integrating examples into your answers, it's easy to lose marks even when your economic understanding is solid.
Personalized tutoring addresses your specific weaknesses rather than following a one-size-fits-all approach. If you're strong on microeconomics but struggle with macroeconomics, a tutor can focus intensive time on those gaps. You'll also get targeted feedback on your essay structure and diagram accuracy—skills that directly improve exam performance.
Beyond content mastery, personalized instruction helps you develop a personalized study strategy aligned with how you learn best. This might include practice with past IB papers, timed essay writing, or working through complex case studies. Research on 1-on-1 instruction shows students typically progress significantly faster than in group settings because every minute is focused on your needs.
Beyond knowing economics content deeply, an excellent IB Economics SL tutor understands the specific demands of the IB curriculum and assessment structure. They should be able to teach you how to interpret IB command terms accurately and structure answers that meet the criteria for top marks.
Great tutors also stay current with real-world economic events and can help you build a toolkit of examples to use in exams. They should be skilled at teaching you to construct accurate diagrams, interpret economic data, and evaluate arguments critically—not just memorize concepts. Strong communication skills are essential too, since explaining abstract economic ideas clearly makes the difference between confusion and understanding.
Improvement depends on your starting point and how actively you engage with tutoring. Students typically see noticeable gains within 4-6 weeks of consistent personalized instruction, especially in areas like essay structure and diagram accuracy where targeted feedback makes an immediate impact.
For students aiming to move from a 4 or 5 to a 6 or 7, focused tutoring on evaluation skills and exam technique often yields significant results. The key is combining tutoring sessions with consistent independent practice—your tutor guides your learning strategy, but your effort between sessions determines your final outcome.
Students most commonly need support with macroeconomics topics—particularly exchange rates, monetary policy, and development economics—where abstract concepts feel disconnected from real life. The multiplier effect, aggregate demand and supply models, and the relationship between different macroeconomic variables are also areas where misconceptions frequently develop.
Additionally, many students benefit from tutoring on the evaluation and application skills required for Paper 2 and Paper 3, where higher-mark questions demand you to critically assess economic arguments and make judgments. Learning to construct strong evaluative paragraphs and select relevant real-world examples is something personalized instruction can dramatically improve.
Frequency depends on your current level, timeline, and specific goals. Students preparing 3-4 months before exams often benefit from weekly sessions, while those starting earlier might do well with bi-weekly tutoring combined with independent study. If you're struggling significantly, twice-weekly sessions can accelerate progress during crucial topics.
Rather than a fixed schedule, consider intensive tutoring around key milestones: mastering difficult topics, practicing full past papers, and refining exam technique in the final weeks. Consistency matters more than frequency—regular tutoring allows your tutor to track your progress and adjust the focus strategically.
