Lanterna charges £720 for 10 hours. Gradd delivers the full IB Economics or Business Management curriculum for €44.99 per month — structured lessons, IB exam technique, progress tracking, 24/7.
One full lesson free. No card required.
Lanterna charges £720 for 10 hours of human tutoring. That covers a few topics — not a full curriculum. Preparing for IB Economics from scratch at that rate would cost thousands.
And even when students can access quality tutors, the sessions are disconnected. There's no structured curriculum delivery, no continuity between lessons, no tracking of what's been covered and what hasn't.
Gradd is the first platform to deliver the complete IB written exam curriculum through a structured AI tutor — covering every unit, in sequence, from session 1 to exam day.
Lanterna's flagship tutoring package. That's £72 per hour for a fraction of the curriculum. Covering IB Economics fully at that rate would cost thousands.
A weekly session covers whatever comes up that week — not necessarily what the exam will test. There's no curriculum sequence. No unit plan. No continuity.
AO1, AO2, AO3 command terms. Diagram analysis. Evaluation frameworks. Textbooks teach content. Most tutors assume you already have the technique.
Students in Singapore, Nairobi, Berlin, or Buenos Aires sit the same IB exam — but don't have the same access to specialist tutors. Gradd fixes that.
Gradd delivers the complete IB written exam curriculum through AI tutors who know the IBO syllabus, teach command term technique, and never let you move on until you're ready.
Gradd's tutors teach units in sequence. Supply and demand before market failure. Microeconomics before macroeconomics. The curriculum unfolds in order — not on request. You can't skip ahead until you've demonstrated understanding.
Every response models the AO1–AO3 language IB examiners reward. Students learn to define, explain, and evaluate — building the exam voice the mark scheme requires from their very first lesson.

Looking for an IB Economics tutor or IB Business Management tutor that covers the complete syllabus? Gradd delivers structured IB revision for Paper 1, Paper 2, and Paper 3 — teaching every concept in sequence, from Unit 1 to exam day, for both SL and HL students.
No prior knowledge required. Gradd takes you from the beginning of the IB syllabus through to full written exam readiness.
Choose your subject, select SL or HL, and your tutor opens Unit 1. No placement test. No setup. You just start.
Each session runs 25–35 minutes. Your tutor explains concepts, checks understanding with IB-style questions, and teaches the command term language the mark scheme requires.
As you progress through the units, sessions shift toward past-paper practice, diagram analysis, and AO3 evaluation. Weak areas are flagged and revisited automatically.
She teaches in plain English, uses global examples, and never lets you move on until a concept is properly understood. She models AO1–AO3 command term language from session 1.
Gradd isn't a chatbot you ask questions to. It follows the IBO syllabus in order — teaching each topic, checking understanding, correcting errors — until you can answer exam questions the way the mark scheme requires.
Gradd teaches units in sequence. Supply and demand before market failure. Microeconomics before macroeconomics. The syllabus unfolds in order — not on request.
Every response models the AO1–AO3 language IB examiners reward. Students learn to define, explain, and evaluate from their very first session.
Your exam level determines your content. SL students follow Papers 1 & 2. HL students get Paper 3 content, quantitative skills, and all HL extension topics.
Every core diagram — supply/demand, PPF, AD/AS, Laffer curve — explained with precision. Axes, curves, shifts, and exactly what each area represents on the mark scheme.
Every session is logged. Weak areas are flagged and revisited. You always know exactly where you are in the curriculum and what needs work.
