Reason from the model to the real economy
Economics tutoring,online.
Economics students often know the diagram and still cannot use it. Marks come from explaining the chain of effects and testing the conclusion.

Where students lose marks
Diagrams from memory
A graph must be tied to the scenario and explained.
Missing links
Economic chains earn marks one causal step at a time.
Generic evaluation
Judgement should test time, scale, stakeholders and assumptions.
Local context ignored
CAPS requires South African institutions, history and policy.
What we help with
Six common reasons students ask for support.
What we cover
One subject name. Three curriculum structures.
Route 1
CAPS and IEB
CAPS and IEB teach the same content. IEB sets and marks its own, more application-heavy papers.
- Macroeconomics
- Microeconomics
- Economic pursuits
- Contemporary economic issues
Route 2
Cambridge Economics 0455
Six syllabus sections.
- The basic economic problem
- Allocation of resources
- Microeconomic decision makers
- Government and the macroeconomy
- Economic development
- International trade and globalisation
Route 3
IB Economics
Four units at HL and SL.
- Introduction to economics
- Microeconomics
- Macroeconomics
- The global economy
The useful distinction: The mapping is close, but CAPS is anchored in South Africa: redress, the local labour market and local sustainability have no direct counterpart.

How lessons work
Focused on the student in front of us.
Lessons are one-on-one, or in a small group if you already know students taking the same subject at the same level. They are always online, so location does not narrow the tutor match.
Book more before an assessment, fewer sessions between tests, or work steadily through the term when foundations need rebuilding.
- 1
Tell us where the marks are going
Share the subject, level and what is not working.
- 2
We match the tutor
At least 75% in the subject or an honours degree in it.
- 3
Book the hours you need
Start from thirty minutes; pay by card, EFT or supported bursary.
Bursary-funded learning
A supported bursary can pay for tutoring or a recorded course.
Use Intellimali where supported, or receive an invoice to claim from your programme.
Questions
Before you book
Start with the part that is not working.
Tell us the level, curriculum and where the student is stuck. We’ll use that to make the tutor match.
