Ipoh's IB Diploma cohort is anchored at Tenby International School Ipoh, which runs the full IB DP HL/SL programme, with Fairview International School Ipoh delivering IB MYP and progressing through DP candidacy. For Economics, that means a tight, demanding cohort — the IA, EE and TOK calendar at Tenby Ipoh runs in parallel with Cambridge Mock Week pressure, and the November DP session adds a layer that May-only KL schools don't face. Heritage schools like ACS Ipoh and St Michael's Institution Ipoh feed bright MoE-stream candidates into IB DP transfer pathways, and these students need IA scaffolding from day one. Our Ipoh IB DP Economics tutors are matched by school, HL/SL track and the Tenby Ipoh internal deadlines — supporting the heritage Anglo-Chinese school tradition with KL-grade specialist depth, without the 200km commute south.
Exam boards we cover
HL Economics is the standard route for Tenby International School Ipoh and Fairview International School Ipoh students targeting top medicine, engineering or quantitative university courses. Heavier content and a more demanding internal assessment.
SL Economics suits Ipoh Diploma students keeping a balanced six-subject load. Same internal assessment framework, lighter syllabus depth.
Syllabus coverage
Our IB Economics tutors cover the full specification with extra depth on the topics where Ipoh students most consistently lose marks.
Demand, supply, elasticity and market failure.
GDP, inflation, unemployment and economic growth.
Trade, exchange rates and balance of payments.
Growth, poverty and sustainability.
Fiscal, monetary and supply-side policy.
Theory of the firm, Lorenz curve and Gini coefficient.
Three commentaries on real-world news articles.
IB Paper 1, 2 and 3 mark-scheme drilling.
We work with students at leading IB institutions across Ipoh.
What we fix
How we fix it:Tenby International School Ipoh runs IB DP IA and EE drafts on a tight Perak calendar that overlaps with the school's Cambridge Mock Week. We back-plan Economics sessions 8–10 weeks out so IA writing, EE supervisor meetings and mock revision don't compete for the same evening.
How we fix it:Heritage schools like ACS Ipoh, St Michael's Institution Ipoh and the Convent of the Holy Infant Jesus Ipoh teach the MoE curriculum first; students bridging to Cambridge IGCSE or A-Level need fast gap-fill in Economics vocabulary, command words and exam technique. We run a 6-week MoE-to-Cambridge bridge tailored to the specific Cambridge code.
How we fix it:Universiti Tunku Abdul Rahman (UTAR) Kampar is 30km from Ipoh and a major feeder for Perak families. Economics preparation for UTAR Foundation and degree pathways needs different emphasis than UCAS prep — we tune content depth and assessment style to UTAR's entry expectations.
How we fix it:Ipoh's Chinese-Malaysian, Malay and Indian-Malaysian families observe Chinese New Year, Hari Raya, Deepavali and Wesak — a cluster that can swallow 4–6 weeks of revision if unmanaged. We pre-load Economics milestones before each cluster and run optional catch-up blocks in the week after.
How we fix it:Ipoh's in-person tutor market is broad on MoE coverage but thin on examiner-level Cambridge / IB DP / AP Economics specialists. Driving to KL is a 200km round trip families cannot sustain weekly. Our online MYT lessons give Ipoh students the same examiner depth as Mont'Kiara without the commute.
Why ComboTutors
We match Tenby International School Ipoh students to a tutor who knows the school's IB DP HL/SL Economics scheme of work and the Cambridge IGCSE / A-Level route in the same building, with IA, EE and Mock Week deadlines pre-loaded into the Perak calendar.
For Westlake International School Perak and Sayfol International School Ipoh families we align Economics tutoring to the exact Cambridge code; for ACS Ipoh, St Michael's Institution Ipoh and Convent of the Holy Infant Jesus Ipoh students we run the MoE-to-Cambridge bridge that the heritage-school tradition demands.
Ipoh sits 200km north of KL and 150km south of Penang. Rather than send families on the PLUS Highway, we deliver examiner-grade Economics tutors online in MYT — the same depth a Mont'Kiara family gets, scheduled around Perak holidays and UTAR Kampar timelines.

IB Economics in Ipoh
Tenby International School Ipoh runs Cambridge IGCSE and Cambridge A-Level alongside the IB Diploma Programme, so IB Economics at Tenby Ipoh typically follows the Cambridge specification (or IB DP HL/SL where the family has chosen the Diploma route). We confirm the exact code at the matching call.
Yes — Westlake International School Perak is a core Cambridge-pathway school we support. Our Westlake IB Economics tutors are matched to the Cambridge code (IGCSE 0580 / A-Level 9709 family etc.), the school's scheme of work and the Perak academic calendar.
Anglo-Chinese School (ACS) Ipoh and St Michael's Institution Ipoh students typically come from a strong MoE base. We run a 6-week IB Economics bridge that closes the gap in Cambridge command words, exam-paper conventions and the specific past-paper rubric — preserving the heritage-school discipline they already have.
Yes. Universiti Tunku Abdul Rahman (UTAR) Kampar is 30km from Ipoh and a major destination for Perak IB students. We tune Economics preparation to UTAR's Foundation and degree entry expectations, which differ in emphasis from UK UCAS prep.
Ipoh's Chinese-Malaysian, Malay and Indian-Malaysian families observe all four. We pre-plan the IB Economics term so milestones are hit before the cluster and optional catch-up blocks run the week after each holiday — no lost revision weeks.
IB Economics tutoring for Ipoh students starts from MYR 120/hour, billed in MYR. First trial lesson is free and there is no minimum-term contract. Lessons are online 1-to-1 in Malaysia time (MYT).
