Economics Tuition in Singapore- Top 25 Centres Comprehensive Review

This article is a comprehensive guide to Singapore’s top economic tuition providers. We have compiled a list of reputable economic tuition tutors and a description of their service, specialities and students’ reviews.

Economics Tuition in Singapore

economic tuition what is economics?

Economics plays a huge role in our daily life and transactions; you might be familiar with well-known economic concepts such as "supply and demand" and "cost and benefits".

So, what exactly is economics?

Economics is a social science that studies how institutions and individuals allocate limited resources to meet our society’s unlimited wants and needs. Economics is a unique subject that combines humanities, such as the study of how society works and human behaviour, together with mathematical concepts, such as statistics, prediction and calculus, to formulate economic data.

In schools, students will learn how society produces, distribute, and consume goods and services at the domestic, regional and global levels and how different agents are motivated by or respond to financial incentives.

Most students in Singapore will be exposed to economics either as an A-level subject in Junior College or in international schools through the IB Diploma Programme (IBDP).

In Junior Colleges, economics is classified as a humanities subject and offered to students at three levels of difficulty, namely: H1, H2 or H3 economics, with H3 being the most advanced level to cater to students with exceptional interest in the subject to explore their intellectual curiosity and adequately prepare them for the fast-paced finance or business-related university courses.

Economics is offered under ‘Individuals and Societies’, which is one of the six broad subject groups under the IBDP programme. Students can take either the standard or higher level economics, depending on their current competency.

Given that a majority of the students only encounter economics after secondary or middle school, some students might struggle to understand the subject given the interdisciplinary nature, which requires them to derive insights from sociology, psychology and political science perspectives; this requires them to exercise critical thinking and analysis.

Whereas for other students, their weakness in mathematics or essay writing skills might impede their economics exams performance.

Mr Anthony Fok, a zealous economics tutor at JC Economics, hopes to ignite the passion for the subject in every junior college tutee that comes to him. He believes that education is not merely about imparting knowledge to students.

In fact, he holds several credentials, including a masters in economics and a doctorate in education (NIE), which demonstrated his commitment to helping students achieve top economic grades.

He has authored more than 15 A-level economics guidebooks and ten-year series. Mr Fok conducts three types of programmes: group economics tuition, intensive economics revision program and case study workshops to cater to the different needs of students.

Students’ reviews

 

Dr Fok is able to explain economics concepts and frameworks clearly and it is easy to understand. He also gives out plentiful amount of notes and model essays to give us good references to improve our essays. He also offers to mark essays that we can write and submit to him. Before A levels, he also offers last-minute consultations where one can text him to clarify any doubts they have. He has helped me improve my economics understanding greatly and would definitely recommend him to others.

Review by Cheng Fong Mao

Mr Fok is a very caring tutor for his students and wishes the best for them at all times. Not only does he provide good lesson materials, he also goes the extra mile outside of regular lesson time to ensure his students have grasped difficult concepts. He also uses real life examples to explain certain concepts and make lessons more engaging, and these stories teach us certain values that make us become better people as well.

Review by Goh Nathaniel

Dr Fok has always been an extremely patient, funny and insightful economics teacher. Not only is he super enthusiastic to share with his economics knowledge, but also quite useful life advices that we can use in the future. I have definitely gain a lot from his teaching and as well as model essays that had better helped me grasped the relevant economic contents, ensuring the quality of essays written.

Mr Quek has really helped me a lot in my understanding of economics. His lessons are always very interesting and have made me come to like the subject. He also teaches us a lot of general knowledge about economics, making the subject very relevant to our daily lives and I always walk away learning something new from each lesson. His notes and essay books are all really useful as they're very applicable to the A level context. He's helped me improve from a U in prelims to an A at A levels. Thanks a lot Mr Quek!

Review by Christabelle

Mr Quek's lessons are engaging, and he also makes economics relevant to us by going through real-life examples. His books are also good notes for A-level preparation, as they provide good sample essays and explain the concepts concisely. With Mr Quek's tutelage and guidance, I managed to improve my economics grades from an S before I joined Mr Quek's classes to an A in the actual A levels. Overall, a highly recommended economics tutor.

Review by Zhor Sim

Mr Quek has been really helpful throughout my time in the Economics Cafe. His lessons helped me remember content easily without having to constantly re-read notes. Furthermore, his essay books have been very useful in teaching me how much to write for essays under time constraints. I wouldn't have gotten an A for Economics without his help!

3. Ace Your Econs

economics tuition ace our econs

Founder Mr Jeffrey is not your typical educator. He was a commercial banker for over 10 years in internationally-known banks before he took the leap to set up his own economics tuition centre.

Equipped with his finance industry experience, where he gained first-hand knowledge of how fiscal and economic policies were applied in the commercial setting, he conceptualised an effective economics tuition programme through an ACE framework which seeks to improve students’ confidence in order to increase their competency.

Mr Jeffrey understands that some A-level economics students taking the subject for a second time, such as private candidates and national servicemen, may need additional support in order to achieve their goals. He has been actively campaigning for them and is committed to helping them excel in their next A levels economics exams.

Students’ reviews

 

Signed up with AYE for my son Timothy after a wake up call upon receiving a bad grade for Econs in the mid year results in JC2.

Even though it was a short few months leading to A Levels, Jeffrey has done an excellent job to explain complex economic concepts in a clear and understandable manner to Timothy. There was clearly a positive improvement in Timothy’s understanding and confidence in the Econs subject.

Timothy has since obtained a satisfactory grade for his A Levels. Thank you Jeffrey!

Review by Catherine L

My daughter knew she needed help, and she actively searched online and found Mr Teo. Other than (of course) the mastery of the subject and his capability to coach, Mr Teo also ensures the student submits their assignments on time. Each session's progress is made available to the parent, and Mr Teo alerts us whenever need be, this is something I really appreciate. My daughter has improved from before she joined till the EOY exam. She started getting more confident attending Econs classes a few months after joining Mr Teo and in fact, Econs is one of her best subjects now. There was no need to think of whether to continue with Mr Teo for Year 2 or not, it's a clear yes! I would hereby like to thank Mr Teo for his guidance and patience with my daughter during her Year 1. And I know my daughter is in good hands under Mr Teo:)

Review by Hazel Wan

Hi, i am a J1 student from SAJC. I was struggling a lot with econs at the start of the year --- especially since it was a completely new subject for me. I decided to seek external help to brush up my econs and chanced upon Mr Teo's centre (AYE) when i was researching for tuition centres online. I decided to give it a shot after reading many good reviews about AYE, and thankfully i did! My grades have definitely improved after joining AYE. Something that sets Mr Teo apart from other tuition teachers would be his effort to get to know each of his students (how their week has been etc.) He also sends encouragement letters or small gifts to celebrate your birthday or when a major exam is upcoming and i think that all these small little things make his students feel more cheerful or encouraged especially before crucial examinations. He also frequently updates my parents about my progress so that they can provide the necessary support as well. Of course, his commitment to his students is an unassailable fact. To all students or parents reading this: put your trust in mr teo!

Drawing on the vast experience from her 18 years of teaching, Ms Foo has derived a unique economics tuition methodology which include explanation of concepts in a clear manner so that students fully comprehend what was being taught. She adopts a more consultative approach to teaching where students are encouraged to ask questions and share their insights during her economics tuition classes.

Students’ reviews

 

It has been a pleasure being Ms Foo’s student and learning Economics from her. She displays immense enthusiasm and passion towards Economics, treating it not just as a school subject, but as a real life application based topic. Ms Foo is an observant person who can immediately spot changes in the behaviour of her students and always checks up on them to make sure that they are alright. She has always looked out for us and cared for our well-being at all times. During lessons, she supplements her explanations with various real-life examples and does not hesitate to pause and clarify any doubts we may have. She is very patient and tolerant, ready to answer any query and explain till we understand. She gives us a variety of unique and challenging questions to practise and discuss so as to broaden our exposure to the topics at hand. Her happiness during the lesson is infectious, making us excited and eager to learn and pay attention in class. Economics lessons have been a memorable experience and I am glad to have been taught by Ms Foo, securing an A grade in the A Level exam!

Review by Swarna

Ms Foo is an ambitious yet approachable teacher. She is highly invested in nurturing students’ Economics skills. Prior to attending her classes, I struggled to grasp the structure of writing essays and answering short structured questions. However, with Ms Foo’s guidance, I was able to learn effective techniques to answer questions. This ultimately resulted me achieving a perfect 7 for HL Economics.

On top of that, I would like to thank Ms Foo for being ever so accommodating to my schedule and learning style. Being a student athlete, my schedule at times was tight, but Ms Foo always ensures that I am able to attend lessons whether it be in person or online. Also being an introvert, Ms Foo constantly finds ways to engage me in class, encouraging me to be more vocal so as to not impede my learning.

I would be forever appreciative towards Ms Foo for her tutoring not only in Economics but also as a learner.

Review by Evangeline Foo

There is no doubt that H2 Economics is a very challenging subject, not only does it require students to learn by heart large amounts of content, they will also have to know how to apply the content correctly to different contexts and questions.

I struggled with Economics the entire JC1, getting a consistent E despite putting extra effort to study for the subject. Worried and stressed about my grades, I went to Ms Foo for help at the start of JC2, and it worked like magic. My E grade jumped to a B by mid-year exam and eventually to a guaranteed A grade by A level.

Ms Foo’s method and way of teaching allowed us to approach Economics more systematically and confidently. Without Ms Foo, I wouldn’t have gotten an A for Economics.

5. Econs Actually

Helmed by principal economics tutor Mr Cliver Foo, this top economics tuition centre specialises in A-level and IB economics, and it strives to make economics a fun and interesting subject for students.

Through its structured economics tuition learning programme, which consists of short, easy-to-understand notes and practice case study and essay questions, students will be able to gain content mastery within a shorter time with the know-how to apply their knowledge in real-life world economic events.

As a new-generation economics tutor, Mr Foo is able to connect with the younger profile students and inspire them not just in their academic pursuits but also in their future careers. This is due to his industrial experience in a government statutory board where he saw how economic concepts were adopted in policy making, and he also co-founded an internet venture which won him a Young Entrepreneurship Award.

I found all of my lessons useful because Mr Foo does an excellent job at helping us to understand what we learn and apply it properly. His notes are always well-prepared and provide good examples for us to follow. It really boosted my confidence in tackling challenging questions and especially in the A level exams. Mr Foo is a dedicated teacher and definitely helped a lot, allowing me to improve my Economics grade from C in Prelims to A for the A levels just in a matter of weeks.

Review by Shane

Mr Foo is a tutor who is very passionate about Economics, bringing in relevant recent events occasionally to make his classes more light-hearted and interesting. He also never fails to pause at intervals to check if everyone understood what he went through, showing his determination not to leave anyone behind. All these have not only allowed me to achieve A for H2 Economics in the A levels, but also gain a greater understanding and interest in the subject. I'm really grateful to have him as a tutor.

Review by Naomi Oh

Economics was a subject I initially lost interest in because regardless of the amount of effort I put into revising for it, my results were never true to my hard work. I was scoring E and S grades consistently throughout most of my J1 year before I decided I needed external help. When I found Mr Foo’s tuition, I thought it was going to be like school tutorials but I was immediately proven otherwise. Mr Foo has ardent passion and a deep rooted understanding of the subject. This means every lesson is not just compressed with textbook content but real life examples that help with the understanding and application of the theories being taught. Mr Foo’s lessons explores beyond the ‘what’ aspect of economics and into the ‘why’ aspect, where he consistently seeks to strengthen and develop our understanding of the theories which will allow you to tackle any question that comes your way. Aside from teaching content, Mr Foo also shares his exam skills which has proven effective as my grades started to improve quite instantly. He shares the most efficient and safe ways to go about answering questions to secure the highest grades even when your content may be lacking. Above all, Mr Foo is extremely attuned to each and every one of his students, being acutely aware of their individual strengths and weakness and therefore being able to tailor a method that works best for that individual. He also dedicates a slot in every one of his lessons to check up on his students individually to ensure their doubts are cleared. All in all, I would like to thank Mr Foo for guiding me to achieving an A for my A levels!

Really thankful to Mr Toh for his dedication and passion in delivering his knowledge to his students.

Best investment I did, my child got an A for her A levels.

Review by Sh Ng

Mr Toh's lessons are all very engaging, providing us with real life examples relating them to economic concepts which enables us to understand the concepts better. He is very passionate and is willing to help students clear their doubts. After attending his lessons, I am able to understand concepts which I found difficult to understand at first. If you're looking for an economics tuition, Mr Toh's classes are definitely worth signing up for!

Review by Jolyn Yap

Economic At Tuition Genius is definitely one of the best tuition centre I have ever been so far. Mr Toh’s class is engaging and fascinating as he is always able to relate economic contents with the things that happened around us in a humorous way. This makes the theory part so much easier to understand and enjoyable to learn. Beyond our usual classes, he also makes an extra effort to give consultation and prepare extra resources such as compiling the latest economic news for his students.

They have also provided free welfare to students to enjoy at the start of every month. Highly recommended.

Ace Clinic Education offers JC economics tuition by a team of highly qualified economic tutors. Founded by ex-raffesians who were from humble backgrounds, they understood the stresses of the average students when they worked hard but yet still failed to achieve their desired economics grades.

After a student is enrolled, diagnostics tests are conducted for free to assess the issues and weaknesses; classes are then customised through the teaching approach and assignments given during the economics tuition class. Lastly, the student’s progress is actively tracked to ensure improvement in a consistent and sustainable way. With such a well-thought-out action plan laid out, it is no wonder that this economic tuition centre is able to maintain a 90% rate of A and B economics grades yearly.

Thank you Terence for your dedication and passion! My son went for Economics tuition 6 months before A levels. We tried a few centres and private tutors before but his grades didn't see much improvements. Through a friend referral, we decided to give Ace Clinic Economics a try and it really was the best decision made.

He jumped from an E in the mid year exams to an A in the A levels. I could also see that he enjoyed going to classes. Thank you Terence for the magic! Highly recommended!

​Review by Grace Yong

Taught by Mr Kenneth. The lessons are meaningful and productive. He is super patient and kind teacher. I like that the lessons highlight important key points to take note so that i will not make the mistake when practising the questions.

Review by Crystal

i have never liked econs, in fact I dreaded it for almost 1and a half year because I do not understand what is going on and what I’m doing tutorials for and honestly I was really going to give up. however after joining the econs tuition, I started to have a little bit of hope. ms sayani’s passion in teaching made econs so much bearable for me and I started enjoying doing case studies because it felt so rewarding. i went from getting D/E throughout my year2 to getting a B in A level and it was really ALLL thanks to ms sayani. (not to mention I only attended about 10 lessons) really miss her lessons:)) no stress no pressure just chill vibes.

11.  That Econs Tutor

top economics tuition that economics tutor

Known as a premium economics tuition centre, That Econs Tutor founder and sole tutor, Mr Melvin Koh is a star tutor who has written several economics ten-years series and assessment books and has achieved an impressive track record of achieving 90% A and B grades, with more than 57% of his economics tuition students scoring Distinctions.

Perhaps, this has to do with his credentials as a first-class honours graduate in economics, a monetary authority of Singapore scholar and winner of 12 university awards related to economics. This makes him a well-respected subject matter expert that is in the best position to coach and mentor A-level students to obtain A grades.

His proprietary CAM framework- where emphasis is placed on content, application, and methodology is a proven teaching technique to develop focus in their learning and positively impact their exam performance.

I wish to thank Mr. Koh for guiding my daughter through this challenging A level year. I am very impressed that besides the regular lessons, there are weekly tutorials and consultation (upon request) at no extra charge. Mr. Koh teaches very well and is also a very kind tutor. When he learnt that my daughter's friend is from a very poor family and needs help with econs, he immediately offered to give her free tuition and is concerned about her learning. I am really grateful to Mr. Koh. A truly exemplary tutor that is hard to come by. Thank you very much, Mr. Koh.

​Review by Cheng Lim

Melvin is the lighthouse that guided my boy, helping him clear all obstacles ahead and sailed him to success. Many students, including my boy, attest to Melvin helping them grasp Economics. Most importantly his methodology helped them confidently tackle essay questions with ease. Melvin is not only the beacon of light, his dedication, sincerity, warmth and compassion radiates to every student he taught. Being a dedicated and caring tutor, Melvin catered extra consultation sessions to his students on top of his usual lessons. Melvin never failed to give my boy insightful comments on the work he submitted to him as well as promptly answer any of his questions outside lesson time. With Melvin’s assurance, wisdom and encouragement my boy was motivated to cultivate a more resilient mindset amidst the A Level period. Melvin is a rare gem, a tutor that goes beyond his call of duty for his students and a great support for parents. Whenever I feel helpless watching my boy go through his ups and downs in his Econs grades, Melvin patiently listened to all my worries and concerns. Even before I seek his help, he was already in touch with my boy, and had given him his pep talk. With Melvin, you know that your child is in good hands.

Review by Jiaxin

When I chose to retake A levels as a private candidate, I knew that it was essential to engage an experienced economics tutor that could help me improve my economics grades, given that I lacked the support of school teachers and regular school curriculum. With Mr Koh’s weekly lectures and personalised tutorial sessions, I had managed to improve greatly; from a C to an A! In addition to teaching the content material in a way that is easily digestible, Mr Koh’s concise notes offer crucial essay structures and visual mindmaps that allowed me to understand the subject in a way that came more naturally. Being able to write essays that delivered only the most important points in a short amount of time was also another essential skill I learned. Even though I have submitted countless essays for him to review, Mr Koh never fails to offer speedy yet valuable remarks; he even keeps track of which mistakes I tend to repeat, and have thus highlighted them. I have found that this personalised feedback has been extremely effective. Most of all, Mr Koh’s dedication to his students and his faith in their abilities is what allows them to excel. I believe that Mr Koh’s lessons are for any student looking for an experienced tutor willing to go the extra mile for his students. Thank you Mr Koh!

When I first started JC Economics tuition with Mr Hong, I was failing in school. However, after his patient guidance and useful materials, my grades improved tremendously, eventually obtaining an A for the A level examination.

​Review by Zanna

Fortunately, under Mr Hong, i was able to brush up on the skills and techniques to ace economics. I think what was extremely helpful was his style of teaching and learning, and that each tuition session was limited to a few students. This ensured that every student will have an opportunity to voice their thoughts about a question posed and he would address any misconception right away, benefiting the other students who could learn from the mistake of others. His timely timed practices before major examinations in school and also before the A levels were also helpful in allowing our minds to adjust to exam conditions so that we could perform our best during exams. Without Mr Hong’s help, I doubt I would be able to get A for economics so thank you Mr Hong!

Review by Gabrielle Cheong

I initially doubted that anything could help to improve my economics, what with my unsatisfactory grade of U for promotional exams. I was proven wrong on the first day of Mr Hong's lessons. His use of dramatic sounds livened up the lessons and I found myself eager for more. I could not bear to miss even one lesson as I wanted to enjoy every minute of his extraordinary teachings. His constructive feedbacks and concise teachings made me understand economics and its mechanisms almost instantaneously. He also builds close rapport with students which allows students to internalise his lessons more effectively. Even after I felt that I had understood everything, he did not stop there, and taught more values to economics and its application in real world. During his lessons, I savoured all knowledge he has imparted to us, not only for the improvement in my grades, but also for making me a better person in today's competitive world driven by demand and supply. Results also show themselves quickly. My grade jumped from U to B immediately in the next test. I am proud to say I achieved a stellar grade of A for GCE 'A' Levels economics of which I once never dared to dream. I strongly recommend his lessons but I have to admit one has to work hard and practice to utilise his teachings effectively. Thank you Mr Hong for being my best Economics teacher!

Students’ reviews

 

Took their tutoring for almost every subject when I was struggling in IB. Generally, really awesome tutors that break stuff down so I could finally understand some difficult concepts or even topical questions which seemed to be skimmed through in school. From my experience being tutored in the Sciences, Math and Econs, all my tutors were very thorough and encouraging in their teachings, making sure that you understand in depth the basics of each topic (they'll go through the material as many times if you don't understand or forget), before giving you a few tips on some shortcuts you can use for the exams, as well as providing enough practices such that together with your school's past year papers, you don't have to print out any more for self-revision. If you are willing to accept constructive criticism and do the work that's given, I'd fully recommend this for students that feel left behind in school. However, just keep in mind to constantly keep in touch with the tutors and administrators for lesson plans, and notify them in advance if there are lessons that you're taking extra or missing out. The arrangements of lessons aren't the most flexible and smooth, but they can surely rearrange it if you're at least telling them a week in advance.

Around late 2019, I chanced upon Habitat Learning when I was looking around Novena area for tuition classes for my then Sec 1 daughter. I was hesitant about signing up initially but decided to give them a try in the end. Now looking back, it was certainly the right decision. My daughter received her O Level results today and she did very well overall and particularly in subjects that she had attended classes at Habitat. Ms Song and her team of teachers are genuinely passionate about teaching and helping their students do well in their studies. They are easy to communicate with and the environment is conducive. Would like to give special thanks to Teacher Leon for his great dedication and support for my daughter. I would not hesitate to recommend Habitat Learning to anyone who is looking for experienced and responsible educators to help them excel in their studies.

​Review by Cloud

My son has been with Habitat since his secondary school days.  Under their care, he did well enough to qualify for NYJC. We continued with this centre as my son entered JC,  as we totally trust Ms Song ( the owner) and the tutors there

Today, my son received his A level results, and he did well.  The encouragement and guidance from his tutors really helped him to recover from failing during JC 1 to scoring As for his A levels.  Really happy that we discovered this centre many years back.

This year, my daughter also follows his kor kor and joins this happy tuition centre.  Teacher Eunice, pls help to jaga her ok? :)

Review by Joyce Kho

I was initially quite sceptical about being able to improve in such a short period of time since I started lessons mid-way into my J2 journey. However, my tutor was very encouraging and had lots of faith in me. That helped me gain more confidence in my abilities as well. Ultimately, I went from a U to a B!

My tutor made Econs lessons much more engaging and comprehensible for me. Econs used to be really daunting as a subject because I found it difficult to understand the concepts and see them in the bigger picture. He helped break them down and explained them with lots of patience, creating links for me. With that said, lessons were very engaging and was very interactive.

During the lessons I learnt how different economics concepts were related to each other, which made it easier for me to study efficiently for my exams. Whenever I started losing touch with certain chapters, he would go over them with lots of patience and introduce different ways to help me remember them.

Excel Economics is the best economic tuition in Singapore to me. Ms Lim is an outstanding tutor and mentor. There is no doubt that Ms Lim is capable of guiding her students to excellence and she has a long line of highly successful students to prove it. Her determination and dedication helps her maintain extremely high teaching standards for herself. As a tutor, she was always at the top of her game. When I attended her lessons, I was assured that Ms Lim always put my learning as her top priority. I knew that I had the freedom to ask as many questions as I needed to make sure that I understood everything correctly. There was always a clear plan about what to achieve and she was always ready with all forms of learning material. Her knowledge of what she taught was impeccable- she not only helped me with all of my questions but she also challenged me with questions and concepts that ultimately furthered my learning. Ms Lim’s immense teaching experience showed whenever she taught me. Her explanations were clear and succinct; she was acutely aware of my learning progress; and she was hence able to tailor her teaching accordingly. This all meant that Ms Lim helped me to greatly accelerate my learning. Above all, Ms Lim was passionate about what she taught and was genuine to everyone she taught. I definitely felt Ms Lim’s sense of purpose whenever she taught and that every student meant something to her. You could feel that she makes it her personal mission to make sure that her students do well. To me, that meant more than anything and simply drove me to do better. Ms Lim is a fantastic tutor and I would highly recommend her to anybody who is searching for one.

​Review by C Oei

Ms Dilys Lim is a caring and dedicated teacher who never tires in friendly teaching and clarifying concepts. With her class, she always tries to make her lessons as interesting as possible by using examples and telling relevant jokes and facts. So my classmates and I would look forward to attending her lessons where the warm and academically rigorous atmosphere is present. Her patience in teaching both the stronger and weaker students has helped many students in their work.

Review by Benjamin

I just want to say, thank you so much, Ms!

I couldn’t get an A without your patience and kindness in teaching our class, giving detailed explanations in almost every exercise! It is a big pleasure and fun to be in your class and I have learned a lot. May God bless you always, Ms. Once again, thank you. This is the best economics tuition I have ever had.

Review by Claire Phee

Mr Tan was very good at helping JC2 H2 Econs students who do not know what A-Level Economics essay and case study questions are asking for specifically. His Econs tuition lessons are very effective in helping JC students help themselves in answering any question (I really mean it, ANY question) that could possibly come out. He is definitely one of the best Economics tutors in Singapore right now. Also, his model essays and case study answers were superb and helped me tremendously.

Dear Mr Lee,

I only joined your class at the end of May. I was very lost, confused and I pretty much hated economics as a subject. Within the first few lessons, I’ve learnt alot from you and my perception on economics has changed. Thank you so much for making economics relatable and easier to understand. From your royal friend stories to you slamming the board to erase certain notes, you’ve made lessons interesting and I can only attribute my newfound awe for economics to you.

Roses are red,

Violets are blue.

Your teaching is so good,

it sticks like glue!

Review by Hanna

I joined Learners' Lodge Economics class at the start of J2 and although my time with Learners' Lodge was short, I was able to improve by leaps and bounds within this short period of time and even started gaining an interest in the subject. Mr Koh has always been very enthusiastic about classes and he never fails to make them interesting and enriching for us. He explains the economic concepts in a way which allows us to easily grasp them and the notes he provides us with are also very detailed, making learning economics a lot easier. Thank you Mr Koh for guiding us throughout this period of time and I hope that you will be able to continue inspiring many more batches to come :) Would definitely recommend your classes to other people!

best economics tutor

Although Mr Don Chng, who established The Econs Don economics tuition centre in 2019, might not have as much experience as other tutors, he managed to achieve outstanding results by having his students improve one grade after six months of lessons.

Perhaps this accomplishment is possible as he viewed himself more of a mentor to his students, and in his words, “having scaled the mountain once, I fully understand the struggles behind the journey”. This experience allows him to establish rapport with his students and connect with them quickly.

He adopts a unique critical thinking process to help students break down complex economic concepts and employs effective revision strategies for students to achieve their peak performance. Each class is capped at a small class size of up to 8 students.

Highly recommended if you need help with economics.

​Review by Shin

Don’s first student here :)) Don is a caring, unique and extremely experienced economics teacher. He is experienced in a sense that he didn’t just make me study with the mentality that economics was just another subject in jc, but he also shared his love for economics with me. This provided a more wholesome learning experience as I grew to show interest towards economics through the real life examples he pairs economics concepts and theories with. Don’s lessons are not only effective and conducive, but it also takes away the mentality of students such as me studying economics just for the sake of getting through another subject in jc, making the learning experience more interesting, effective and engaging! Don’s teaching helped me improve my economics from a dire ‘U’ grade in school examinations to a ‘B’ grade at A Levels! Thanks Don!

During times which i have clashes in my schedule, Don was supportive and made it an effort to have lessons during my off days.( as well as to offer face to face lessons such that i can learn effectiently during covid 19 ) Don has been encouraging and supportive, and I am sure that you will see a difference through his careful guidance and tutoring. I am very grateful that i was taught by Don.

Review by Ethan P

I like future academy as I find the class very engaging and fun. I received a lot of worksheets each day for every subject and the teacher explains the solutions with very clear explanation for every hard word problems. Yvonnen is a very good teacher and she teaches math very well. She takes every effort to teach each and every student until they master the chapter. She teach us very good tactics to tacle hard questions. Thus when we go for exam and we struggle in a question we could use the tactics she thought us in class and we would definitely would be able to solve the question. This centre is amazing.

1st lesson was with Ms Jasmine Chan. She managed to engage my daughter who usually won't open up during the initial session and can be quite a slow learner. However, it was quite interesting to see my daughter asking Ms Jasmine qns actively and I was surprised when Ms Jasmine said that my daughter is a fast learner.

Feedback after the 1st lesson was excellent..

Throughout JC1 and early JC2, I was scoring straight “U”s for all my Economics exams. It was truly a blessing to have been introduced to iEconomics by my classmate.Ms Ang from iEconomics explained trends and question types very clearly, helping me identify my misconceptions and weaknesses! I even started to enjoy it and did my own research for essays! I was pleasantly surprised when I saw the “A” grade for Economics on my A Levels results slip!Thank you so much iEconomics!

Review by Sarah Lewi

Prior to joining iEconomics, I have never achieved anything better than a “D” for Economics, no matter how hard I tried. Thankfully, Ms Ang fromiEconomics has been very patient in guiding me along and always ensures that every tuition session is productive and fruitful. Ms Ang would also givepersonal comments on my exam scripts which helped me tremendously in understanding my mistakes.I’m happy to have achieved an “A” grade for Economics in the A levelsThank you iEconomics!

Review by Jasmine Lim

Scoring only an “S” for promos, I was clueless about Economics. Joining iEconomics was definitely the best decision that I have made in my JC life. Lessons are never boring and always involve active participation and writing assignments.In addition, the notes are comprehensive and easy to understand that I turned to them instead of my school notes. Eventually my grades shot up to a “B” for Prelims and an “A” grade for A levels! Joining iEconomics is definitely a good investment!

In addition, great notes are provided. Not to mention, the class is a judgement free zone where I am able to ask any and all questions I have.

I have been a student for 4 years and from my experience I can say that all the tutors here are extremely helpful and experienced, especially when it comes to explaining tricky concepts and building efficient exam techniques. I would definitely recommend their services to anyone looking for tuition for IGCSE/IB subjects!

Review by Natasha Cheong

I started IB super not long after my prelims as I still found gaps in my understanding of HL math and econs. Despite my IB nov exams only being months away Bel was very understanding and even went the extra mile of formulating summary sheets to extrapolate my weaker topics and those that were of higher weightage to target. Thanks to her I’d managed to pull a Low 4 to a high 6.Results are one thing but personally I was always looking forward to attending lessons at IB tutor not only was I imparting knowledge for my IB examinations but study techniques that as of now I can transfer to other aspects of life. Not to mention finding my style of learning that suits me the best! Being a relatively lazy student I started taking ownership and initiative to even head down to do some practices apart from the lessons. I’ll recommend anyone who’s willing to transform their grades and make not only their parents proud but themselves. Cheers

24.Triquetra Tuition Centre

best economics tuition triquetratuition

The reason why most students fail economics, according to Triquetra economics tuition centre, is their misconception that economics is a complicated, abstract, complex subject with indecipherable theories and concepts.

Triquetra tuition centre aims to untangle all the technical aspects of the syllabus and reteach the subject in a way that students can understand intuitively, which is not just memorization, but a tried and tested methodology to build a strong foundation in the subject. After this, students will be equipped with exam techniques and strategies to ace their economic exams.

In fact, a comprehensive learning pathway is spelt out by the tuition centre from JC1, concentrating on the content mastery of microeconomics topics before moving on to macroeconomics topics in JC2. Triquetra tuition centre utilised a student-based approach to JC economics to make learning easy and enjoyable for their students.

The tutor changed my perspective of economics completely. I still miss attending his class because of how structured and organised the approach to topics became! In terms of results, I moved up from an E at prelims to receive an A for my As. Introduced my younger sis here and she enjoyed it so much! She got an A too. But really the greatest learning was that we all need to have passion in what we do! If we have passion, that drives us - brought to life by the tutor. First time loving it when I attend tuition class more than once a week sometimes.

Review by Lyd T

I joined Triquetra about a month before my J1 Final Examinations, and after coming for lessons I could understand the concepts a lot better. Mr Lim was a very patient and creative teacher, and I always loved coming for lessons! From disliking Economics and putting off studying Economics, Mr Lim's classes made me love Economics and look forward to lessons. He always provided a good balance of content and practice, and even when he went through answers, he would reinforce the content, making lessons very productive and effective. During content lessons, he would give us his own notes, and he also taught us how to make our own concise summary notes for all of the chapters. He explained the most complex of concepts in a really simple manner and made sure everyone could understand it easily. He also gave an abundance of practices, along with his answers and the model answer keys.  In addition, Mrs Lim was a huge moral support to all of us and constantly encouraged us with little anecdotes, which kept me going!  Also, there are little tidbits, cup noodles and beverages for us to munch on during lessons, and this was especially helpful for me when I came directly after school and didn't have time for dinner. I definitely wouldn't have gotten my `A" for H2 Economics without the two of them.  Thank you so much, Mr and Mrs Lim.

Review by Sowmiya Rajan

I remember being very excited the first time I went for Economics tuition lesson at Triquetra, because of my sister who attended lessons 4 years before me and told me all about it! I was definitely not disappointed as the first lesson I had in J1, all the way to the last lesson I attended in J2 were clear, interesting and comforting as it gave me hope. I could actually understand concepts and was able to draw conclusions of my own with regard to case studies and tricky questions. Mr. Billy Lim’s cheerful and approachable character, together with his enthusiastic manner of teaching never failed to make each student keen to learn. I found the lessons so helpful and enjoyable that I called many friends to join me, and introduced many juniors to this little bomb shelter in Bishan! I didn’t even have to refer to my school notes while studying for my ‘A’s, - the tuition notes were sufficient. The friendly face you meet when you first step into the centre, (auntie Hannah) the snacks provided and the affordable fees are just more reasons why I loved my experience at Triquetra, and I’m really thankful for it!

Afterskool Learning Centre is a MOE-accredited tuition centre offering A-level and IB economic tuition subjects. The centre has 18 classrooms that are well-equipped with teaching facilities and even self-study and refreshment areas for students to rest and relax while they catch up with their work.

To provide dedicated attention to each student for more conducive learning, their student to tutor ratio is kept small at 1:8. In the event that there are more than 8 students in a class, a co-tutor will be present to ensure all students can keep to the pace of the lesson.

Their curriculum and materials are regularly reviewed to ensure alignment with MOE’s economics syllabus and summary booklets are also provided for students’ easy revision. The curriculum is planned to cover topics ahead of the school’s syllabus so that students will be left with more revision time to clarify doubts prior to exams. However, intensive remedial sessions are also conducted to help new students catch up with topics covered in the past classes.

Selecting an Economics Tuition Centre: Points to Consider  

best economic tuition selecting a good tutor

 

1. Quality and credentials of economic tutors

Whether it is economics at the A level or IB programme, the tertiary curriculum is rigorous, demanding and challenging. Therefore, it is crucial that the economics tutor has the right credentials to teach the subject.

It is preferred that the tutor has at least a good bachelor’s economics degree from a reputable local or overseas university, as he or she would be better able to translate the specific economics learning objectives from the syllabus and impart them skillfully to the students. Usually, this means being competent enough to break down, explain and reinforce abstract or complex economics concepts for students’ easy understanding.

Getting an experienced tutor is advantageous due to the format of economics exams that require students to write essays and case studies. A tutor with richer teaching experiences would have knowledge of the economic themes that students typically have issues with and develop exam strategies to help them score more points in exams.   

 

2. Economic curriculum and programme structure

Economics is a broad and diverse subject that follows a thematic syllabus. Depending on the programme, it can span across topics including macro and microeconomics, and international and behavioural economics. If you think about it, that is a lot of content and materials to be completed at the pre-university level.  

To do well in exams, it is important to ensure that the curriculum and materials in the tuition centre follow either the A-level economics examination syllabus or the requirements for the IBDP economics assessment.

The tuition centre needs to have a structured programme that helps students to score in the different aspects of the exams or assessment, such as tackling essay questions of a variety of topics, case study practices for A levels or commentaries for IBDP. 

 

3. Track record of tuition centre

Track records such as the improvement of grades by students after signing up for economic tuition lessons and testimonials on Google, and Facebook are good indicators of the quality of the tutors in the tuition centre.

Established tuition centres that have been around for a longer period will have a more longer history of students’ performance which you can review. Alternatively, you can talk to other parents in the community and ask about their experience with the tuition centre.

 

4.  Resources to supplement student’s learning

As there is no standard textbook for economics subject at both A level and IBDP, as students are expected to read widely and extract knowledge from different credible sources to effectively present their arguments and viewpoints.

Therefore, supplementing students’ learning with quality materials and notes is as important as teaching during lessons. There need to be sufficient real-world examples of the application of economic concepts in practical problems and issues so that they can formulate more comprehensive and mature answers in their assessments.

 

5. Tuition fees in relation to class size

Do not fall into the fallacy that an expensive branded tuition centre or a well-known star tutor that charges sky-rocket fees will definitely help you ace your economics grades.

Tuition fees are usually affected as what is known as ‘market forces’ in economic terms including class size, a rental fee of a tuition centre, number of tutors teaching that subject. Consider your learning style: whether you would benefit from a bigger class where there is more exchange of ideas or a smaller class with more individualised attention, and of course, your budget.

 

Private Economics Tuition (Home Tuition)

top economics tuition private tuition

Unlike other subjects, students need to have a wider range of skills to perform well in economics. This is because the subject itself demands interdisciplinary thinking as well as the exam or assessment format.

These skills include critical thinking, analytical skills, maths and statistics, as well as structured and coherent writing and exam techniques.

One-to-one home tuition can help a tutor identify the exact weakness your child displays when answering economic questions and address it accordingly. For example, whether it is a problem with understanding the concept or poor essay-writing skills.

As compared to a group lesson in a tuition centre, where the tutor must take time to address the challenges of all students, hiring a home tutor allows your child more time to cover the other topics in the economic syllabus.

Private economics tuition is especially helpful for IBDP students as experienced home tutors can provide guidance on their internal assessment to ensure that their portfolio of commentaries is relevant and will help them to score the highest possible marks. IB students will benefit from private tuition so that they can apply higher-order critical thinking skills to present their arguments in external economics examinations.

If your child is sitting for important pre-university economic exams in that year, such as the A levels or IB external exams and they need to gain admission to a university course related to economics or finance, you have little time to waste. Help them gain a solid foundation in economics by engaging the services of a tuition agency like Tutor City to hire a reliable home tutor. We help you save time and effort by matching you with suitable tutors for your child based on your requirements at no cost.

 

Conclusion

For most students, learning economics at the A levels or IBDP levels can be a daunting experience because they had no prior exposure to learning a social science subject previously.

The unique assessments for economics subject require students to not only have a good grasp of concepts and theories, but they must also be able to formulate, structure and then articulate well-thought-out arguments that display their critical thinking, and maturity in a clear and concise manner.

That is why a good economics tuition centre need to (i) help break down complex economic concepts, (ii) show students how to apply knowledge in real-world case studies and scenarios, and (iii) impart essay and case studies formulation and writing skills.

Nearly all of the economics tuition centres we listed above have met these requirements and are good options to consider when looking for the top economics tuition in Singapore.
