There are many more testimonials from previous batches of students on www.jceconomics.com **************************************************************************************************** “An intelligent, engaging and caring teacher; there is little else that can describe Mr Fok. A true Economics guru this man, with his guidance, I was able to improve in Economics (and fast may I add) and craft all-rounder essays. CSQs became less daunting, and much easier to tackle after learning the tricks from him. His notes are marvelous and beautifully explained. I would recommend him to any student without hesitation. Thank you Mr Fok, it has been a pleasure learning from you. Thanks for helping me achieve an A in Economics!�
- Rahul Sibal (Victoria Junior College - 2013)
“Mr Fok has exceptional ability to relate the theoretical learning with real-life, up-to-date examples, both global and local ones, thus making learning, especially memorizing easier. His wide resources of quality study materials will not leave you incapacitated in learning, as you will constantly have academic materials to read, whether it is during your personal study time, or on-the-go. His caring, supportive, and student-oriented personality, coupled with wide knowledge on the subject and ample of resources for both written, and verbal academic materials, there will be no reason why anyone should not be joining him. The only regret of joining him in my late Year 2 of JC was that, I did not join him when in my Year 1 JC.”
- Chris A. (Pioneer Junior College - 2013) “At the beginning of the year, I was struggling with the Economics subject with constant grades of E/S. That‟s when I decided to sign up for tuition and eventually enrolled in JCECONOMICS. There was a visible sign of gradual improvement and I found myself in the A/B region in a short period of time. Finally, I achieved an „A‟ in Economics for Alevels
- Nicholas (Jurong Junior College - 2013) “I have definitely benefited greatly from the lessons taught by Mr Fok. My Economics grades improved tremendously after attending his lessons. Apart from that, he also taught us soft skills which I feel is very valuable for our future. Besides, I also appreciate his flexibility as he allows makeup timing for his lessons. In addition, he is very dedicated and would answer any queries we have even outside class through SMS/whatsapp. He also puts in extra effort to mark and provide feedback for the extra assignments we do despite his busy schedule. He provides ample economics resources to aid our learning. His lessons are engaging, well-structured and closely aligned to the syllabus. He imparts essay answering techniques, case study skills and highlights the important keywords to us which is a crucial requirement in the exams. All in all, I am grateful for his constant encouragement and guidance throughout the year! Thank you for helping me get A for Economics!�
- Clarice Tay (Nanyang Junior College - 2013)
“Even though I joined Econs tuition with Mr Fok for a short period of time, my understanding of Economics concepts and theory has increased greatly. He is a great teacher in all aspects -- dedicate not help his students whether night or day (especially during the exam periods), print stacks and stacks of notes for us, clear and concise explanations, ability to make tuition so much more enjoyable with his stories and jokes ..oh and his bottomless containers of sweets and drinks to keep us awake! :) Most importantly, he taught me and I am sure, many others, life lessons that is probably the most valuable. I truly enjoyed having tuition with Mr Fok and I am sure you would too His dedication and commitment to his students is something that is special and i am blessed to have been under his tutelage :)�
- Yuqing (Nanyang Junior College)
“I had been doing badly in econs ever since I took up the subject in JC1. So 6 months before the A levels, my friend recommended that I join Mr Fok's lessons. From then on, my grades started to pick up. Mr Fok made econs interesting for me and learning it became a breeze. He provided plenty of examples and practices, and taught exam strategies which were all very helpful during my exams. Thanks to Mr Fok, studying econs was no longer a burden but something that I truly enjoyed.�
- Farah Dyan (Anglo Chinese Junior College - 2013)
“I initially sought Mr Fok for tuition due to my inconsistent grades in H2 Economics. I found it very difficult to answer higher order questions in the essay paper. However, after only 3 months of classes with Mr Fok, I no longer find it a chore to dissect the higher order questions in the paper 2 of H2 Economics. This is so, as Mr Fok always provides us with numerous sample essay questions, along with the guidance on how to approach the aforementioned diverse range of questions. In addition, he always provides us with valuable real life examples to further enhance our essays, especially on the theme of Firms and How They Operate. All in all, I would like to thank Mr Fok for his guidance and I must say that approaching him for economics tuition was indeed the right decision for me. I achieved A for Economics at the GCE „A‟ levels!”
- Adrian (Tampines Junior College - 2013) “Mr Fok is more than just a tutor; he is an inspiration and a friend. He constantly links economic theories to real life anecdotes to keep lessons interesting. He is also very approachable after class hours, clearing any doubts I have about economic concepts 24/7 via whatsapp and personal consultations. My confidence for Economics have never been this high in school before and it wouldn‟t be possible without Mr Fok!”
- Stanley (Hwa Chong Institution - 2013)
“JCEconomics had helped me understand the topics very well and it had allowed me to improve my grades. In every lesson there is always something to learn and Mr Fok will try to make the lesson interesting by telling stories. He is a good teacher and it has been enjoyable being in his class.�
- Weilin (Jurong Junior College - 2013) “Mr Fok is one of the most enthusiastic tutors I have ever had. He has an unparalleled teaching attitude, which makes his lessons both enjoyable and effective. Within a month, my own teacher at school had remarked that I had shown progress in my knowledge of the syllabus. Mr Fok also provides a large volume of materials and is willing to go to lengths to ensure that his students obtain an in-depth knowledge of the
content required. Furthermore, Mr Fok creates a very conducive learning environment for his students, persistently delivering on this promise to help students achieve better results. Finally, Mr Fokâ€&#x;s can-do mindset and his unwavering belief in his studentsâ€&#x; abilities also works to push students harder in order to strive for their goals.â€?
- Ka Oon (Serangoon Junior College - 2013)
“I entered Mr Fok‟s tuition in JC 2 after I did badly for my first test. Before going for his tuition I never fully grasped Economics and had always resented doing Economics. However, during lessons with Mr Fok, I became to grow more passionate on my subject as my grades slowly improved due to his engaging and highly entertaining classes. I enjoy going for each class as Mr Fok is truly a person who cares for his students and would go the distance to help out students even when it doesn‟t call for it. Therefore I highly recommend going for his Economics tuition as he is not only an amazing educator but also a reliable friend.”
- Rennes Lee (Jurong Junior College, 2013)
“Attending Mr Fok‟s Economics tuition was indeed very helpful. With limited time to study, his concise and comprehensive notes helped me to revise thoroughly and quickly especially during the final exam periods. The loads of worksheets and exam papers also ensured that I had enough practice! Thanks Mr Fok for helping me achieve an A!”
- Samy (Jurong Junior College - 2013)
“Mr. Fok is one of the most dedicated teachers I have ever met. He knows what bores the students and he tries his best to make dull topics interesting and appealing to students. His lessons are very educational and helpful. His explanations are easy to understand and remember. His notes are exceptionally good. The tuition experience he provides is one of a kind. He is one of my favourite teachers and his tuition is the best group tuition I have ever attended. [P.S. You are one of the few tuition teacher I actually didn't quit tuition half way through. Hahaha. Just shows how good you are! Jiayou!]�
- Crystal Lim (Innova Junior College - 2013)
“Mr Fok is a very helpful and patient teacher who puts in tremendous amount of effort and time in preparing his students for the A-levels. I have certainly found his lessons interesting and engaging. Thanks to Mr Fok, I achieved an A in Economics -- something which I never expected to achieve.�
- Cherie Sim (Hwa Chong Institution - 2013)
“Mr Fok is an inspirational teacher. His explanations were very clear, and the notes that he provided were amazing too! He knew how to make the lessons exciting. He knew how to give perspective to new things in Economics as well, by telling us stories which we could relate to! He is truly a great guy! I scored A in Economics for my A levels!�
- Somesh (Catholic Junior College - 2013)
“When I took H2 Economics in JC1, like many I knew, I found it difficult to grasp its concepts and approach essay questions. Fortunately, my lessons with Mr Fok have proved to be a rewarding experience and were instrumental in pulling up my grades. I have not only gained a deeper understanding of the subject, but a greater appreciation of its use and wider applications in the world too. Mr Fok's warm, comical nature as well as his use of real-world examples, study tips and personal stories never fail to keep each of his lessons lively and insightful. Mr Fok's collection of notes and question papers were wonderful sources for additional practice to master a broader range of content. It also honed my time management and question analysis skills which were aspects I were especially weak in. Mr Fok is easily contactable as I know from experience, that his timely replies via Whatsapp have made times when I need clarification as soon as possible a breeze. Overall, my lessons with Mr Fok have certainly boosted my confidence in H2 Economics and have made my journey through it much more manageable.” - Isaac Poon (St. Andrew’s Junior College - 2013)
“Mr Fok is a helpful and caring teacher. His lessons are very interesting with his sense of humour and little treats to spur us on during lesson times. He is always available to answer our questions be it during lesson or after lesson! Furthermore, he is always more than willing to provide additional help by offering sample essays and questions and even help to check our work. His encouragement and faith in his students will definitely benefit and aid students in understanding Economics better. I scored an “A” in Economics. Thanks to Mr Fok!”
- Jing Yi (National Junior College - 2013)
“Mr Fok is a patient and approachable teacher with a bubbly personality. Lessons with him are always enjoyable and lively, while at the same time we learn and grasp economic concepts via his meticulous teaching. The studying strategies and notes he had provided us had been helpful to my revision and it definitely made economics a less scary subject. He's always helpful when it comes to questions from his students; taking time out from his busy schedule to give one-to-one consultations out of lesson time. I would like to say a big thank you to Mr Fok for being such a great educator and a friend as well!�
- Tay Min (Anglo Chinese Junior College - 2013)
“Mr Fok is a dedicated teacher who would go the extra mile to get resources (notes, test papers, etc) from almost all possible avenues. His lessons are enjoyable, making Economics seemingly easy to understand. Besides, he would tell jokes to keep the lessons interesting. But his jokes are not useless ones. In fact, they include current affairs that can be useful for other subjects such as GP! So it is a win-win situation! Most importantly, Mr Fok is more than just a teacher as he teaches us some important life skills. Thank you!�
- May (Jurong Junior College - 2013)
“My grade for economics leaped after I joined JCEconomics, with the constant guidance of the tutor, Mr Fok. Mr Fok is a very patient teacher, and he makes sure that every students understand the economic concepts before moving on. Come and join jceconomics, make your grade leap all the way to A -- which I did, for my A levels!�

“Mr Fok‟s lessons were effective in my learning of Economics as his attention to detail and ability to pick out and emphasise important points in each piece of work maximized our learning in the short span of 1.5 hours a week. In succinctly and aptly encapsulating each point in his teaching, he greatly aided my learning in Economics, which I had a weak foundation in. Economics can at times seem to be an arduous subject to study due to its many nuances. Yet, Mr Fok successfully manages to simplify yet exemplify significant points to make this subject one that is enjoyable to learn. Thank you for the „A‟ in Economics!” - Celeste Ng (Hwa Chong Institution - 2013)
“Mr. Fok is an extremely dedicated tutor who has helped me improve in Economics by leaps and bounds. He goes out of his way to ensure that every single one of his students learn and benefit from his lessons. Thank you for everything! :)”

“When I retook my A levels as a private candidate, I found out about Mr Fok's classes and decided to give it a try. It was good. Mr Fok's explanations always included real life examples which made concepts easy to remember. He also answers questions almost instantaneously on whatsapp which prevents misconceptions from building up. Due to my work commitments, I didn't really manage to study (as much as I'd wanted to) but still did well for Econs. Thanks Fok! (P/s: if you need someone to nag and guilt-trip you for not revising, look for Fok.)” - Neo Jiexin (Private Candidate - 2013) “I used to think that Economics is a very dry subject but after attending Mr Fok‟s lessons, Econs is actually very interesting! Through his stories he shared with us, I can remember the concepts more easily! Thanks for helping me achieve an A in Economics!”

Despite being busy himself, he would always reply to the questions I have sent via phone, even if it was late at night. Thanks to his teaching and counsel, I have seen a remarkable improvement in my grades -- I got an A in Economics. Mr Fok certainly knows the syllables well and will guide earnest students to their desired grades.�

“Mr Fok‟s tuition has helped me better understand and apply the concepts in Economics, which was previously a foreign subject to me. Before, I could not grasp nor apply the skills required to excel in Economics, but now, I know what is required to do well in the subject. It has been a great help in boosting my confidence in Economics, and the notes and revision techniques provided by Mr Fok contributed tremendously to this as well.” - Cheryl (Tampines Junior College - 2013) "Mr Fok is effective in teaching Economics and has managed to help me improve my Econs in a very short period of time. He makes his lessons entertaining and is a very helpful teacher." - Gerald Woo (St. Andrew’s Junior College - 2013) “This is how I understand economics. Teachers like Mr Fok are scarce while the demand for tutors like Mr Fok is price inelastic due to Mr Fok‟s non-price competition strategies such as accurately spotting questions, divulging key essay writing techniques, explaining intricate concepts in a manner that is easy to comprehend and supplying a myriad of model essays for various topics. I have benefitted greatly from his lessons and finally got my hand on the seemingly ever-eluding A grade at Alevels.” Manohar (Jurong Junior College 2013) “Mr Fok is a very patient and friendly teacher who puts in a lot of effort into every lesson, he tries his best to make the lesson interesting by preparing jokes and stories to tell us during breaks in between lessons. He is also available after lesson time through whatsapp/SMS where we can ask him any questions we have while we're studying. Mr Fok also takes the extra effort and time to mark the essays we submit to him, no matter how many there are! He even prepares mock examinations and taught us critical examination skills which was really helpful. I'm really thankful to have mededicated and

“An amazing teacher he is, Mr Fok is more like a friend to me who I can consult and truly respect! His lessons are never dull as he always injects humour into the class whenever the lessons start to get dry.. Most of the time, he will relate and apply economics concepts to what's happening in real life to make me remember concepts much more easily! Also, his consultation times are not only limited to before or after lessons.. He always urges us to clarify questions through the phone whenever we have doubts and he would answer our questions almost immediately, even at the oddest hours. What makes him even more special is that he always teaches us things which are out of the book such as life skills which makes us better people and I will always remember those valuable things he has taught me!�

“Mr Fok is a very hardworking teacher who replies my call for help almost immediately at any time of the day. His lessons are fun and interesting and most importantly, allows the students to understand economics more as a whole. Concepts are explained in point form which i find it most useful because this makes it easier to understand and easier to remember as well, so that you would not miss out any links in between. Overall the class is enjoyable and very useful. I achieved an “A” for Economics”
- Michelle Tan (Meridian Junior College - 2013) “Although I only joined the lessons in JC 2, Mr Fok was very helpful and provided comprehensive notes. His notes prepared me for all the possible types of questions, allowing me to build up on my confidence as I tackled the questions. His lessons are engaging and his notes have definitely helped me through my revision period. I achieved an A with his help!” - Christine Wong (Victoria Junior College - 2013)
“Mr Anthony Fok has been an engaging teacher who utilizes relevant and effective teaching materials, all for the sake of helping the class to achieve more. Not only is he well-experienced, he distinguishes himself from other teachers by putting in extra effort in compiling summaries and checklists just so for us to be well prepared for the A levels. To add on, he often shared useful real-life information that revolves around the economic theories, lifting our learning to much higher levels beyond that stated by textbooks and notes. Grades are important yes, but to help students to seek excellent grades and at the same time expanding their interests in the subject, it is certainly not an easy task. And Mr Fok has definitely achieved this feat.” - Kheng Peng (Anderson Junior College - 2013) “Mr Fok is a very funny and interesting teacher. His lessons are never dull. He is very good at spotting examination questions and gives excellent notes for his students. Although his class size is quite large, I always had personalised attention from him because he is easily contactable via Whatsapp and email. It is not surprising that his classes are big because he is a very professional tutor. I have learnt a lot from him.” - Dilys Eng (Pioneer Junior College - 2013) “Mr Fok has played a great part in bringing up my economics grade with his unique teaching method and variety of teaching materials. He encouraged and inspired me to achieve my best by building up my confidence and leaving nothing uncovered. I would definitely recommend attending his tuition if you need help in Economics. I scored „S‟ in Prelims and got „A‟ in the A-levels with Mr Fok‟s help!” - Jacob Wee (Tampines Junior College - 2013)
“Mr Fok has helped me tremendously during the A-level period. He is always willing to help needy students like myself. Through an unconventional and innovative way to teaching, he not only manages to impart Economics knowledge and examination skills to us, he also teaches us many life lessons through Economics and teaches us to see things from a different angle. Lastly, I would like to thank Mr Fok for always being patient with me and helping me achieve an A.”
- Kai Yuan (St. Andrew’s Junior College - 2013)
“Mr Fok is a great teacher who would always remind us and emphasise on the important points in class. He is also very patient and did not mind explaining again the concepts that we are uncertain about. Besides that, he is also willing to help us with individual chapters and it is thanks to his dedication that my understanding in Economics has improved greatly. I didn‟t expect to achieve an A for Economics this year!”

“Mr Fok is a really caring and helpful teacher. Throughout the course of preparing for my A levels he was very supportive and answered any queries I had regarding any of the econs theories. He also took the trouble to prepare extra resources that were greatly beneficial in helping me in my understanding on various economic theories. Mr Fok guided me through the essay writing for econs which helped me clinch my A in econs. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for an economics tutor.�
- Lai Shumin (National Junior College - 2013) “Mr Fok is a dedicated teacher who always goes the extra mile to help his students. His systematic approach enabled me to understand the concepts well. He even prepared a revision timetable for us and compiled essays for our A-level revision. Under his guidance, I achieve an „A‟ for Economics. Thank you Mr Fok!” -

“Mr Fok had provided great guidance to me for Economics, and almost literally dragged me out of a pit of despair at a time where my Economics grade was so abysmal that the word abysmal may not even be adequate to accurately depict how bad my grades were, and how far i was lagging behind my peers for the subject. The notes provided by Mr Fok are very concise and capture the key points examiners actively look out for when giving marks to students, and i sincerely believe it was through the utilization of his notes that enabled me to jump from an S grade in my preliminary exams to an A grade in my 'A' level examinations. Having joined Mr Fok‟s classes very late into the 'A' level examination period, i had felt that it would possibly take a miracle for there to be any improvement in my economics result. The miracle did happen, not by any divine intervention though, but through the unique lecturing style conducted in Mr Fok`s classes and the indispensable notes provided during his classes, allowing me to achieve a grade i never once expected or even dreamed of getting. Students who join Mr Fok`s classes would surely be marveled at the pace their grades would improve.”
- Jonathan Chew (Jurong Junior College - 2013)
“Thank you for helping me get an „A‟ in Economics!!! I could not have achieved it without your guidance. I found the revision packages very useful -- they were concise and summarized many of the different types of questions and their answering techniques, which made studying much more effective given the tight span of time we have to revise. Furthermore, the supplementary notes and different essay outlines also increased my exposure to a large range of questions. I really enjoy your dedicated teaching and your lessons are so interesting!! I definitely enjoyed learning Economics from you!”
