Unlike other intensive crash courses that you may have come across for Economics, we do not re-teach mainly the content knowledge and topics for the subject. Rather, we are talking about the emphasis on the exam techniques that so many students lack for this paper.

And there are no registration fees, no materials fees and no deposit fees! More info about our classes:

JC2 Post-Prelims Intensive Revision Program - Econs Exam Skills Workshop

For: A-Level JC2 students who need to sharpen up their exam techniques for their H1 and H2 Econs papers.

(Note: Preferably decent with content knowledge. On a scale of 1-10, 1 being very weak, and 10 being very strong, students with about knowledge of 3-4 will benefit greatly from this intensive program.

While focusing heavily on the way to secure your distinction by emphasising on the exam techniques of Application, Analysis and Evaluation, the tutor will still highlight the KEY content topics, especially the Singapore context portions, that you must know, in order to be considered well-prepared.)

This is what one of our ex-students (2010 batch) got to say about this Post-Prelims Economics Intensive Programme for JC2 students taking A-Level:

Thank you Sir! it's unbelievable that I got my Econs distinction, after merely this 10 lessons of intensive Econs revision with you!!!

Although my own sister did obtain her "A" with you, she attended your class regular.

I was a "last minute" case, and had been getting 'S' or 'E' since day one. With the focus of the revision lessons focusing on mainly exam techniques such as the skills of Application, Analysis and Evaluation, honestly, it's difficult not to score in this easy subject.

Now, I have to agree with you: Economics is really scorable! Really fun and easy!! Thank you!

Chloe Wan, Yishun JC, 2010 H2 Econs


If you wish to indicate your interest in the lessons, kindly contact our Administrator at 9695-9650 asap, or at least leave an SMS on our mobile.

The seats are normally taken up very fast, as our Econs tutor would like to keep the class relatively small, as this is meant to be on an intensive basis.

Thank you.

Who Else Wants An 'A' for the 2012 A-Level Economics H1 Paper?

Testimonials: 

Mr Tan, you are probably one of the most effective teachers that I have learnt from.

Within such a short period of time, I have a learnt a lot and I believed that I have gain an upperhand in relation to many of my peers in school for Econs; for this, I thank you.

I will continue to strive for excellence under you and attempt my best for Economics. As you always put it, Economics is indeed scorable! I hope all your students will experience the magic that you have brought to me.

I am certain that your teachings will put me in very good stead for the GCE A-Levels Economics. I have also managed to see the fun side of Economics under your baton.

Thank you very much.
Andrew
Anglo-Chinese Junior College (ACJC), 2010 JC2, H2 Economics

I have always been very interested in Economics but I never managed to do well. I had little problems with all my other subjects, Economics was my only weakness. Before I attended your lessons, I scored an E grade for Economics during my midyear exam. Failing was common to me.

During the time which I attended your lessons, my grades improved tremendously and I managed to score an A grade for Economics during my Common Test. For one, it was the first time I have scored an A grade for Economics.

With my Common Test results, I applied for a provisional scholarship. Not long after, I was informed that the board has awarded me a scholarship. Had it not been for you, I would never be able to get an A for Economics in my common test and hence the scholarship.
 
You are a really skilled teacher. You could explain concepts in the way that was clear, concise and easy to understand. You taught me many techniques in dealing with case study questions. Learning economics under you was really easy, if only I had more time to learn from you. If only there were more economics teachers like you.

Although it is my weakest subject, I am proud to say that I will be reading economics for my undergraduate studies.
 
I really can't thank you enough. I only hope that more students can benefit from your teaching in future and I genuinely wish you well for your future endeavors.

JC2 H2 Economics

Mr Tan is a great Econs teacher. Besides the ingenious examples he uses in class to help the students understand easier, he really knows how the grade 'A' is obtained.

Just after 6 lessons, I topped my class in Econs, and my percentile went up from 41% to 86%!

A surprise I always enjoy is that he will explain how the Econs concepts and principles that apply to firms and economies, can also apply to my own life. Now I know how to structure a profitable business!

Steffie Lim, Nanyang Junior College (NYJC), 2010 H1 Economics
