Experience
I teach Economics to GCE A Levels, IB and AP students.
I provide economics tuition for all courses, including GCE ‘A’ levels, IB and AP economics. I aim to provide the best economics tuition service and the most concise lecture notes to students.
I am an experienced lecturer in economics, data science and data analytics. I bring together close to 30 years of working experience in many establishments, including universities, startups, and government bodies.
Prior to devoting full time into lecturing, I was with the Singapore civil service working on economic research and other policy initiatives. Collectively, I have acquired unique perspectives of the real-world challenges that corporates and individuals faced, including the limitations and trade-offs of government policies. As a trainer, I deliver economic and analytic courses that focuses on business insights and macroeconomic trend analysis, and incorporates real-world perspectives as case studies. In turn this helps learners better understand and apply acquired learnings into practice.
Aside from economics, I also conduct add-on workshops in data analytics and data science. This special blend of economic-analytics cocktail can help learners to future-proof their skillsets in this fast evolving era, and it will also equip them with the essential competencies to analyse real world data and economic events. Taken together, these skillsets will enable learners to better see and appreciate the world with new ‘economics’ lens. In the process, this can help them to make more informed decisions incorporating multiple perspectives and trade-offs. Overtime, they will also find themselves becoming more confident and more able to take initiative for their own learning. Slowly but surely, learners will build up their awareness and understanding on economics and be able to see its intricate connections to many real world problems. To this end, I hope that learners will also eventually grow to become more resourceful and civic-conscious, and work hard to improve not only their own lives, but also those of others around them.
I also have active teaching engagements with Singapore Polytechnic (SP), Singapore University of Social Sciences (SUSS), Singapore Business Federation (SBF) and others. I was a former Economics Lecturer with the Singapore Manufacturer Federation (SMF) Academy where I taught Principles of Economics Module in the Diploma in Business Administration. I have acquired WSQ Advanced Certificate in Training and Assessment (ACTA) that specializes in conducting courses for continuing professional development.
I graduated with a Master Degree in Applied Economics from the National University of Singapore, with a distinguished CAP score of 4.6 out of a maximum score of 5. In addition, I also scored distinctions in both Microeconomics and Macroeconomics in my BSc in Economics from the University of London, and I was also awarded a book prize for outstanding academic achievements.
Testimonials:
This is Olalekan, one of your current analytic students. I want to thank you for being such a good teacher. I have been in several training sessions since I started this journey but you are the best of all.
Your style and method, patience, and above all skills are unequaled. Thank you so much for your efforts.

I recommend Mr Tai as an instructor to learn from for topics related to Data Analytics, Machine Learning and statistics. He is clear and systematic in his delivery, and his teaching materials enable practical practice of the concepts taught. His concept maps concisely and clearly summarised the key information required in the subject matter.

Andy has demonstrated a deep understanding of both Data Science and Economics. While I was under him for my Data Analytics course, he explained the machine-learning concepts extremely well and the mathematical foundations behind them. Math and coding are not my strong suites, but he definitely made it easy for me to understand logically. You can tell that he really knows what he’s talking about in-depth. Thanks you Andy!
