JC Economics Crash Course - 2021 June Holidays

EconsLab is a premier provider of JC Economics to students taking the GCE ‘A’ Level exams.

Our principal tutor Ms Foo is highly experienced and has been teaching Economics for over 15 years. She has been placed in the Dean’s List for Masters in Economics. Ms Foo has an excellent track record in her teaching which has won her many praises from her students past and present. Learning Economics under Ms Foo is fun and enjoyable. Ms Foo encourages her students to ask questions when in doubt. Afterall, there is no such thing as stupid or silly questions - students learn from the questions they ask.

Midyear exams is coming up soon. Do you need a quick yet effective review of key Micro & Macro concepts during the June school holidays to help you better prepare for the midyear exams? At EconsLab, we have specially put together a crash course offered on a topical basis where students get to to select the topics they would like to cover which they find difficulty in understanding. We believe this makes help more targeted and relevant to each student which enhances the learning outcome and results.

Our topical revision programme is designed in such a way that it gives our students the content knowledge, mastery of exam skills and hence the much needed boost of confidence to set them in the right mode to excel in the upcoming exams.

✔ Content mastery through detailed teaching of key concepts

✔ Step-by-step guidance in question analysis, points generation and development

✔ Materials provided

What is our track record? The release of 2021 GCE A Levels results showed that our students did well be it opting for face-to-face or online weekly tuition:

👍 Achievers with 5-6 grades improvement from U to As and Bs: 73%

👍 Achievers with 4 grades improvement from U to Cs: 27%

👍 Achievers with at least 3 grades improvement: 100%

Specifically, students who scored As, Bs and Cs are 41%, 32% and 23% respectively. Around 90% of our cohort scored either U or S grade prior to Economics tuition at EconsLab. You may know some of our achievers (refer to “Results” page).

Do not worry about large class size and hence inability to follow the content covered. Our small class size allows for ample interaction between students and our Dean’s List Star Tutor Ms Foo. With a small class, students would not feel left out. It is also easy for students to ask questions at any point in time without feeling awkward. Students’ struggle in class will not go unnoticed due to the small class size.
