Here's What Parents & Students Say About Our Economics Tuition

"Mr Hong is a very dedicated economics tutor. He would update me about my son's progress and would advise me on how best to help him improve. As the A levels approached, he conducted more classes and was willing to have 1-1 sessions so that the tuition would be more effective. Thank you for helping Tim!"

Dr. Daniel Lim Father of Timothy Lim, JPJC

I had never passed Econs. However, Mr Hong brought me from U to A. In my 12 years of education, Mr Hong is the best teacher I have ever had. His wealth of knowledge on real-world economic situations proved invaluable...provided me with the cutting edge to stand out amongst my peers...equipping me with all the core skills to answer every kind of economic question...Because of Mr Hong, I can answer any question that comes my way!...In the A-level examinations, Mr Hong even accurately predicted the case study questions! Because of Mr Hong, I now have an A for Economics...He turned my worst subject into the best one!

Samuel Tay​Private Candidate

I think you are a great teacher who taught concepts very clearly and in a way that could be remembered...On top of that, you provided a lot of materials and practices...making sure to highlight important key concepts and phrases which was really helpful. The lessons were also very interactive, because you asked a lot of questions and having to answer them helped us recall and apply our knowledge!!! All in all, you really made it easier for us to tackle the subject and...by giving us practical tips to answering the CSQ and Essays...which really helped me to get an A in the A levels. Thank you very much Mr Hong!

Estelle Tan TJC

My experience with Mr Hong’s economics tuition has been amazing. I gain new insights and tips every single lesson. He is able to explain concepts in a way that makes it much simpler to understand and remember. He is also able to...drill us with the skills essential in tackling questions. His notes have assisted me greatly...as they are very concise, yet comprises of all the key concepts and details to remember. Furthermore, Mr Hong’s enthusiasm and passion...always inspires me to work hard...I am more than grateful to Mr Hong for helping me to discover my love for economics and achieving an A for my A-levels.

Cherie Ong RIJC

Mr Hong’s classes are always fun, engaging and insightful, which makes the subject much easier to understand...His explanations are detailed and clear...he breaks down each individual point/argument for easy understanding. The pace is fast, but I’ve never had to worry about falling behind because he always makes sure we all get it before moving on. He also teaches a variety of exam skills and writing techniques that aren’t usually taught in school. It was Mr Hong who enabled me to learn how to craft a good Econs essay...develop a genuine interest in Econs, as well as develop a respectable work ethic. From U to A!

Zach Bryan JP JC

Lessons were rich with real world examples, while consistently relevant to the syllabus, killing two birds with one stone in preparing for the IB exams. The dedication that goes into teaching every class is evident in the clarity of explanations and their ability to engage...Most importantly, they were always delivered with sharp wit and humour, effective techniques for memorising complex concepts and frameworks, and included insightful personal experiences. Achieving a 7 for Economics was beyond what I thought myself capable, and would not have been possible without the guidance and constant practice I received.

Hui Jun SOTA

I was really bad at IB Economics when I first joined - in fact I was the lowest in my class. But Mr Hong has a lot of resources, practices and samples which helped to drill in various concepts and keywords. 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...he would address any misconception right away...His timely timed practices...were also helpful in allowing our minds to adjust to exam conditions so we could do our best. In the end, I came out with a 7 for both my prelims and actual IB econs exams!

Gabrielle Cheong ACS Independent

Fortunately, my colleague recommended Mr Hong to me. After only 2 lessons, my son came back and tell me that he never believed that there were such great teachers until he met Mr Hong. Within a year, he went from grade "U" to "A" in his recent A-level exam. In fact, Mr Hong made H1 economics so clear and interesting for him that he even considered to read Economics in University. Because Mr Hong made Econs so easy for him, he has more time to concentrate on the other subjects. He went on to score As for all his subjects. Besides being a great teacher, Mr Hong is also a friend to my son. I really respect his professionalism, help and guidance he has given to my son. My only regret is that I only found out about Mr Hong when my son is JC2, otherwise I believe even at H2 level, I believe he can do well too.

Mrs Tan Mother of Brandon Tan, ACJC

Kelvin was encouraging and nurturing. Took a concerted effort to address areas and topics in my daughter’s IB HL economics that needed special attention, even made provisions to conduct additional sessions before the examinations. Without taking credit away from my daughter, Kelvin was instrumental in her achieving her score in economics, without a doubt.

Frequently Asked Questions

About Our Econs Tuition

How does your Economics tuition in Singapore help students truly understand complex concepts, beyond just memorization?

Our Economics tuition in Singapore is designed to go beyond rote memorization by focusing on deep conceptual understanding. We build a strong foundation through clear explanations, real-world economics examples, and interactive discussions. This approach encourages critical thinking and analytical skills, enabling students to apply economic principles across various scenarios. By understanding the “why” behind economic theories—not just the “what”—students develop lasting comprehension and exam confidence.

What makes your Economics tuition program different from other centers in Singapore, especially for students who have struggled elsewhere?

Every year, we have students that join us from other Economics tuition centres. Practically all of them see their grades soar and achieve their targeted grades in their final economics Exams. Our program stands out due to its personalized approach and targeted strategies. We identify each student’s specific weaknesses and tailor our lessons to address them effectively. We are also able to explain concepts in such a way that enlightens our students, creating deep understanding which empowers them to score in their Economics examinations.

Should I Attend Econs Tuition?

Attending Econs tuition can be highly beneficial if you’re struggling with key concepts, falling behind, or aiming for top grades. Economics blends theory and application, which many students find challenging. A structured tuition programme offers expert guidance, proven exam strategies, and real-world examples to reinforce school learning—helping you build confidence, deepen understanding, and excel in your exams.

If a student misses a lesson, is make-up possible, and how do you ensure they don't fall behind?

We offer flexible make-up options to ensure students can catch up on missed lessons. We provide detailed lesson recordings, supplementary materials, and consultations to clarify anything from the recorded lesson. Our goal is to ensure every student stays on track.

Is group or 1-to-1 economics tuition better for me?

It depends on your learning style and academic needs. Group Economics tuition offers peer interaction, collaborative learning, and a structured pace—great for students who benefit from a classroom environment. On the other hand, 1-to-1 tuition provides highly personalized guidance, flexible scheduling, and focused attention on your weak areas. If you prefer an entirely personalised lesson, at your own pace, private economics tuition may be more suitable for helping you achieve your goals.

How does your A-Level Economics tuition prepare students for the demands of the examination, including essay writing and case study analysis?

Utilize our A-Level Economics guide that gives more detail and helps to develop the skills needed for A-Level Economics essays and case studies. Through our A-level Economics tuition, we provide comprehensive notes, essay outlines, and practice case studies with in-depth analysis, focusing on critical analytical and evaluation skills.

What specific support do you provide for students taking H1 Economics, and how does your approach differ from H2 Economics?

Our H1 Economics tuition focuses on providing a clear and concise understanding of fundamental economic principles. We tailor our teaching to the specific requirements of the H1 syllabus, emphasizing key concepts and application. While H2 delves deeper into economic theories and analysis, H1 focuses on practical applications and understanding core concepts. Learn more about our H1 Economics classes.

How does your H2 Economics tuition prepare students for the advanced analytical demands of the syllabus, and what resources are provided?

Our H2 Economics tuition provides in-depth coverage of advanced economic theories and models, with a strong emphasis on analytical and evaluation skills. We provide comprehensive notes, model essays, and extensive case study analysis. Our resources are designed to help students master the complexities of the H2 syllabus. Discover our H2 Economics program.

How does your IB Economics tuition differ from A-Level Economics, and what specific preparation is provided for the IB assessments?

Our IB Economics tuitionis tailored to the unique requirements of the IB syllabus, including Internal Assessments (IAs) and Extended Essays (EEs). We focus on developing strong research, analytical, and evaluation skills, crucial for success in IB assessments. We provide guidance on choosing topics, conducting research, and writing effective IAs and EEs. Explore our IB Economics program.

We heard that you are accurate in predicting the Exam questions. Can we just purchase that?

Our approach to exams is built on rigorous syllabus analysis, past-paper trends and expert insight – not on ‘question banks’ that can simply be bought.

The exam-focused materials we provide (including likely question themes) are integrated into our full tuition programme, where we teach you the underlying concepts, application methods and critical thinking skills. This ensures that you’re truly prepared for any question, not just the ones we think might appear. While we do offer exam predictions and they have been rather accurate, this will only be offered to our students and even then, we advise them against solely relying on it.

What is the difference between the Small and Mini groups?

Our Small Groups host up between 8 to 12 students and include a full set of resources, structured tutorials and regular progress checks. Mini Groups are even more intimate, with 3 to 6 students, allowing highly personalised attention, extra coaching time and highly customised problem-sets. Both formats follow the same syllabus-aligned curriculum, but the Mini Group gives you greater one-to-one interaction with our tutor.

The fees are quite high. Is there any discount available?

We understand that quality tuition is an investment. Our fees reflect small class sizes, senior-level tutoring with extensive experience and bespoke resources tailored for maximum exam success.

We do occasionally offer early-bird discountsas well as package rates when you enrol for more than one subject or term. Subsidised tuition fees have also been granted to those with financial difficulties. Please get in touch with us to discuss your circumstances – we’ll do our best to find a suitable arrangement.

Can we attend a trial lesson?

As we are already highly established and care a lot about not disrupting the lessons for our existing students, we only offer a paid trial month with no deposit needed. Registration fees will also be on hold.There’s no obligation to continue unless you’re fully satisfied. Once you are on board, we are also happy to arrange a complimentary consultation to help you get up to speed. Simply contact usand we’ll confirm availability.

For a flavour of how our classes are run, do check out the videos on our social channels as well as sample our economics concept videos.
