IB Economics, taught by an economist.
I'm Dr Tamás Barczikay. I hold a doctorate (PhD) in economics, I used to work as a researcher, and I have 13 years of teaching experience at university and IB level. I help students understand the models instead of memorising diagrams.
Pricing
Lessons are available online or in person in Budapest. Prices are in Hungarian forints.
Every lesson is INDIVIDUAL. I prepare separately for each student before every lesson: no reused lesson plans, and practice questions chosen for your weak topics, your level and your exam session.
One-to-one lessons for IB Economics SL and HL. Each lesson is prepared for you individually, based on where you are in the course.
- Theory explained through interactive diagrams
- Exam technique for Papers 1, 2 and 3, practised on exam-style questions
- Practice materials prepared individually for each student, built around their weak topics
Which diagrams earn the most marks? I went through every IB Economics exam since 2022, sub-question by sub-question, and counted how often each diagram comes up and how many marks depend on it. That is how I decide what we practise first: see the exam diagram analysis.
