Economists love growth … so this is one graph I’m especially happy to analyze. 📈
A couple of weeks ago, EZ NOMICS reached 25,000 YouTube subscribers. 🎉
What began as a small project during the COVID lockdown has grown into a global learning community supporting IB, AP, AS, and A-Level Economics students and educators.
Today, EZ NOMICS provides 270+ free video tutorials and supporting resources designed to help students understand economic concepts, draw and analyze economic models, develop stronger exam skills, and build confidence in approaching economics.
As a passionate IB Diploma Programme Economics educator, I’ve always believed that economics should be clear, relevant, and enjoyable. That belief inspired me to create EZ NOMICS: a place where students could develop a deeper understanding of economics rather than simply memorize diagrams for an exam.
Along the way, I’ve been fortunate to receive recognition that I never expected, including being shortlisted in the Best Use of Technology category at the Tes Awards for International Schools 2024 and being named Econiful’s EconHero Educator for October 2025. Those recognitions are rewarding, but what I value most are the messages from students who tell me they’ve finally understood a difficult concept, or from teachers who have integrated the videos into their classrooms.
This milestone is about much more than the number. It’s about the community behind it: students from 130+ nations who are using EZ NOMICS to support their learning, the students revising late into the night, the teachers sharing resources with colleagues, and everyone who has watched a video, asked a thoughtful question, left a comment, or recommended the channel to someone else.
To my students, colleagues, family, fellow educators, and the entire EZ NOMICS community—thank you. Your encouragement, feedback, and support have made this journey far more rewarding than I ever imagined.
Now it’s time to get back to what started this journey: creating resources that make economics easier to understand, more meaningful, and fun.
Turns out investing in human capital has a pretty good return after all.
Here’s to the next chapter—and a few more supply and demand diagrams along the way.
