The feeling when you get back your draft IA with low marks after spending those long hours working on it…

 

… is what you won’t have if you polish up your commentary using this guide.

This is what students who have read it say:

“Hey, It did help me a lot! So far I have handed in 2 of the commentaries and I got 13 out of 14 on both of them. And I still have one year left of the IB. We have had mock exams and I got a 7 in economics so I’m very happy about that! It’s amazing that you make short courses like that, it really helps!”
/Anne – 2nd year IB Economics student/

“I really appreciate all the hard work you took in making that document. It was so helpful in the writing of my Commentary. I don’t know what I would do without it. In addition, I was also able to successfully write my Commentary with the help of the other resources you offer. Thank you so much!!!”
/Richard – 2nd year IB Economics student/

“I must say your advices were very helpful to me. I got 12/14 out of two of my commentaries, which I consider a success. Thank you very much!”
/Magdalena – 2nd year IB Economics student/

“I thoroughly enjoyed reading it and found your suggestions very helpful. I’m reading it as I make edits for my commentary right now! :)”
/Monica – 2nd year IB Economics student/

About the author

 Professional background

My name is Daniel Szekely and I work as an IB Economics tutor, examiner and teacher. Having earned an MA degree in Economics at the University of Aberdeen, I became a financial analyst at Morgan Stanley, one of the largest investment banks of the world. Yet, despite the promising career prospects of the banking industry, I decided to make a larger social impact by becoming a teacher.

I’ve been teaching specifically IB Economics for over 9 years and currently I’m a teacher at SEK Budapest International School. I started EconDaddy as a simple blog to share great articles with students taking IB Economics around the world to use for their commentaries. Being an IB Economics examiner, I’m the one sitting on the other end after the exams are taken, so I truly know how to boost my students marks at school and make them ace the exams.
