Lim Yue Han (Nanyang Junior College)

I joined EconsLab in early August 2020 as I was struggling with Economics for the past 1.5 years. Before tuition, I had difficulty scoring well in case studies and occasionally in essays because I could not apply the Economics knowledge from everything I learnt accurately. Even when I scored well at times, I did not know the reason why I did well for that specific question and after JC2 Block Test, I began to panic knowing that my concepts were all over the place.

Thankfully, Ms Foo from EconsLab gave me many important comments as well as constructive feedback when I joined her at the very last minute. She took time to review my exam scripts and time practices did in class. Everytime she returned the scripts to me, I could see red ink all over my essays containing so many important details about what was missing in my essays as well as the conceptual errors that I made when dealing with the essay question. All these feedback were crucial in my last minute revision as Prelims approached and I improved by a grade from C in Block Test to B in Prelims after the school moderated my scores to the A Level standard. Ms Foo then awarded me with Popular vouchers for scoring the highest in my tuition class, which further motivated me to perform even better as the A Level exams drew near.

A few weeks before my A Level Economics exam, Ms Foo prepared two extra lessons to provide me with important reminders about what I need to look out for when analyzing case studies and writing essays together with last minute revision about the doubts we have before we took the exam. A few hours before the A Level exam, Ms Foo consolidated all the important points one final time before her students stepped into the exam hall. By that time, I was so much more confident in dealing with case studies and more importantly essays. For the first time in two years, I wrote three full booklets for my A Level Economics essay exam, the longest I have ever written in an exam and this time, I had a clear direction on how to approach the essay questions, packing my essays with accurate economic analysis and clear diagrams. These led to me scoring an A grade for my A Level Economics exam, something I never dreamt of achieving a few months back.

I am genuinely grateful for the effort Ms Foo put in when she prepared her lessons and her patience when marking our scripts. Thank you Ms Foo!
