Ms Foo is a very friendly and understanding teacher who always does her best to help me with my Economics. Without her, I would not have noticed the flaws in my essay writings and concepts. She conducts the lesson in a warm, conducive and engaging manner that allows us to learn well. I also like her flexible way of conducting the lessons.
Read MoreMs Foo’s teaching methods surpass even my own teachers’ in SAJC. Giving us time to generate points force us to review whatever we have learnt and apply it in the given context. Her recommended time window for reading the case studies and questions helps me to finish my analysis quickly to tackle the questions as soon as possible.
Read MoreThe lessons are well-explained and clear. It is very easy to understand and can clarify my doubts immediately. Although sometimes may go off-track, but it is still relevant to my studies.
Thank you for teaching me Ms Foo!

Read MoreDespite the short time I spent with her, I think Ms Foo has really helped me a great deal in identifying my weakness in Economics and working with me to improve my ability to answer questions. I enjoyed the lessons with Ms Foo as she is a very approachable teacher. I can have free and easy discussions with her about my doubts in Economics.
Read MoreMs Foo is very enthusiastic in her teaching and will always answer my questions every time I ask one. She never fails to be clear with her explanations and would always ensure that we understood her explanations before continuing on. Her feedback to my every points during discussions are very constructive, and would always encourage me to speak up even if I am not sure because she goes by the philosophy of ‘it is better to get it wrong here than in the exams’.
Read MoreLessons with Ms Foo have been fruitful and enjoyable. Under her, I have learnt how to analyse questions and provide the necessary conditions to answer the questions. I have learnt more about Economics as a subject that requires critical thinking and analysis and relevance to real issues as opposed to one that consisted of blindly memorizing notes.
Read MoreMs Foo is a very charismatic teacher who explains very clearly, making it easy to follow through all the economic concepts. She is also very hardworking by giving us valuable feedback of our submitted work, allowing us to learn from our mistakes.
Read MoreHello Ms Foo!
I just like to say a big Thank You to you for slowing instilling a sense of love for Economics! When I first came, I thought Economics was a very abstract subject and I wanted to give it up. But you made me continue with Economics and I’m truly glad that I made the right choice to carry on with the subject! Thank you so much for not giving up on me and for encouraging me to continue taking Economics! This is all through your understanding and precise teaching which is why I finally understood Economics.
Read MoreMs Foo’s patient manner when teaching her students really appeals to me. She manages to engage us and she has really helped me learn to love Economics! Every student is given the opportunity to clear his/her doubts, it’s really thanks to Ms Foo that my grade for Economics improved!
Read MoreI first came to Ms Foo because I had done poorly in the school common test of my final year in 2009. Along with strengthening my foundation in Economics, her personally prepared notes and lessons also helped in my understanding and application of key concepts. She taught me several techniques which came in useful in answering essay and case study questions, also providing me with external reading material such as newspaper clippings. These expanded my views on how Economics principles are woven into almost every aspect of society and increased my interest in the subject.
In the span of 3 to 4 months, I managed to pull my grade up from an ‘E’ to a ‘B’ in the A Levels. Ms Foo’s lively, interactive lessons led me to ask more questions and to view societal issues in a more discerning light. Thanks!
Read MoreBefore I began Economics lessons with Ms Foo, I endured nearly an entire year of failing this baffling subject in 2008. To me, Economics seemed rather abstract, like something I could survive without understanding. Armed with that attitude, I acquired countless ‘S’ and ‘U’ grades rather consistently.
However, when a friend of mine had me convinced of Ms Foo’s competence and adeptness in teaching, I decided to give Economics tuition classes a shot in 2009.
Ms Foo’s patience and dedication proved effective, as my grades for Economics improved steadily from ‘S’s and ‘U’s to ‘D’s and finally ‘A’ in the A levels! Her precise and clear explanations made information palatable, and her illustrations made them memorable! Economics miraculously became my favourite subject, and I’m so glad the knowledge Ms Foo has imparted in me is able to help me better understand many scenarios and situations in the world!
Thank you Ms Foo! :D
Read MoreAfter joining Ms Foo’s tuition for Economics, my grades have significantly improved. From getting an S during my prelims in 2009, through her dedication in teaching and her willingness to help, I got a B for my Economics paper for my ‘A’ Levels. Within this short amount of time of 2 months, it is indeed a miracle for me to be able to jump by 5 grades and surely this is a fact that only Ms Foo can help me to achieve.
Her constant challenges to me so that I can improve and motivate myself to do better, her ‘never-give-up’ on me attitude had certainly a big role to play for me to be able to achieve the kind of results I have. Especially after getting a S for my Economics prelims, it was her encouragement that got me on my feet again to study for my A’s.
Truly a great and inspiring teacher who never fails to care for her students. I would like to say a big Thank You and I really appreciate the efforts you have put in for me!
Read MoreAfter doing badly in the subject, I decided to seek help in learning Economics. As this subject was new to me, I needed assistance to understand the many Economic concepts. And through Ms Foo’s guidance, the subject became much clearer to me.
Ms Foo is very thorough in her guidance. Through her patience, explanations and real-life examples, I was able to grasp the Economic concepts. She also gave me very good pointers in answering questions. This has led to my essays having more depth in analysis and evaluation.
During the short period in which she coached me in my learning, I have gained much and have more confidence in the subject. Through her guidance, I did remarkably well in the final exams in 2009, scoring a distinction in the subject!
I am very pleased with my result, and Ms Foo played a huge role in helping me achieve it. I appreciate her guidance very much!
Read MoreI began lessons with Ms. Foo shortly after I received my common test results in late July 2009 which I scored an ‘S’ for Economics.
In the space of two months, she revised all the topics I had learnt over the year and also went through numerous sample questions from various prelim papers. Rather than having me write out answers, we discussed the answers to the questions verbally, which allowed for quick thinking and helped me to think of answers on the spot. By discussing the questions with her, I was also able to gauge better what the question required, improving both my time management and answering skills during the paper. We were also able to cover a wide variety of questions during the lessons, which also gave me a better grasp of the kind of questions which would come out in the paper.
Eventually, I scored an ‘A’ in the promotional exams 2009!
Read MoreMs Foo was my Economics tuition teacher in my Junior College Year 2 (2008). Within the short period of a few months, Ms Foo had offered much help in improving my grade. During our discussion on the essay questions, she would offer many great pointers which I would not have thought of. This helped me develop better analytical skills as well as build up on my Economics concepts.
Miss Foo was patient in her teaching. A committed and conscientious teacher, she will cut out Economics-related newspaper articles for my reference. This enabled me to take note of current affairs which was useful in applying to essays. Furthermore, she has helped to boost my morale in the learning of Economics whenever I feel disheartened. With her guidance and encouragement, I have improved and obtained a satisfactory B grade for GCE ‘A’ Levels! I believe she would continue to attain great success in her teaching. All the best Ms Foo!

Read MoreI was from National Junior College from year 2006 to 2007. I took H2 Economics as my contrasting subject. I regretted taking Economics when I was in JC1 because it was a totally new subject and I couldn’t understand what was taught to me. I barely passed my Economics in JC1 by achieving an “E”.
The first half of my JC2 year was even worse for me. I failed my common test in school. I later found Ms Foo as my private Economics tutor. I cleared all my doubts regarding my school work and the concepts with her. She even gave me extra tips in scoring for Economics. Her teachings made me like Economics, slowly.
She was very patient with me even though I had many enquires. After learning under her for half a year, I scored a “C” for my Prelims which was around 80th percentile in my cohort. Eventually, I got an “A” for my GCE “A” Level exams.
I am very glad to be taught by Ms Foo because she is a great tutor. Thanks Ms Foo for helping me so much in my academics! I am truly grateful for what you have done for me! Once again, thank you very much.
Read MoreI started tuition with Ms Foo when I was in Year 2, after my block test in which I got a “S” grade for my H2 Economics.
During the first session with her, she was able to pinpoint my problems after going through my papers, which is unable to understand concepts fully and also not able to elaborate on the important concepts of the questions.
Ms Foo’s explanations are clear and she would pull in examples from real life to make her student understand the concepts better. She is also sure of her stuff, not needing to refer to any supplementary materials. Her explanations made me clearer of what I am studying.
In Economics, being able to link concepts together is important. To help me in this, she gave me many papers from different schools for me to practise on, showing me how one concept is able to link to another. During the sessions with her, she would sometimes discuss about news topic, adding it to our answers, making it more relevant, unique and value added.
Tuition with Ms Foo is challenging as sometimes, alternate viewpoints raised by her would challenge mine and through these, it made me more stable in tackling the questions on my own. I eventually scored a ‘B’ in GCE ‘A’ Levels! I am grateful to her for helping to improve my grades.
Read MoreIn 2005, I was a Year 2 student in Hwa Chong Institution (HCI). Being from the Arts Stream, my science and maths subject were very poor.
Thus it came to be that at the end of my Promotional Exams in 2004, I scored an F for my Economics.
Naturally, my mother was very worried as I continued failing Economics even in Year 2. About 2 months plus before the Actual “A” Levels examinations, she managed to secure Ms Foo as an Economics tutor for me.
Within these 2 months, Ms Foo diligently taught me and the end result was that I scored a “B” for my “A” Levels Economics! It is to be noted that all the way up till the “A” Levels, I had been failing Economics very consistently. All this can be credited to MsFoo’s teaching and effective strategy.
Firstly, she realised that with 2 months left till the exams, there was very little time left. Therefore, instead of teaching me everything all over again, she worked on my weakest areas in the subject. She also taught me the techniques of writing good Economics essay. Previously, I attempted to write in argumentative or literary styles with huge elaborations, which Ms Foo helped to correct. Quality over quantity!
Finally, she gave me a much needed boost in my confidence to face the dreaded exams. By believing in me, I felt empowered to face the “A”s, finally scoring a B! Compared to the F grade from my promotional exams the year before, it was a vast improvement!
When I showed my school Economics teacher my results, she simply couldn’t believe it! Without Ms Foo’s help, it certainly wouldn’t have been possible. Thanks to her, I now have a secure place in NUS!
