Singapore has often been dubbed the “Tuition Nation.” Even Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong has noted that tuition has become a “minor national obsession.” Many Singaporean parents are willing to invest heavily in tuition, seeing it as a key to academic success. According to the Department of Statistics’ 2008 report on household expenditures, Singapore families spent approximately $820 million on centre- and home-based private tuition, a significant increase from $470 million a decade earlier.

In today’s highly competitive environment, tuition is often viewed as a crucial step for students aiming to score distinctions and gain an edge in the academic race. However, Dr. Anthony Fok believes tuition should serve as a supplement, not a substitute, for formal schooling. It is not an obligatory pathway to success, but rather a tool to fill knowledge gaps, clarify difficult concepts, and provide targeted guidance.

Dr. Fok’s approach ensures that students not only catch up where necessary, but also build deeper understanding, critical thinking, and exam skills. With the right guidance, tuition becomes a strategic support system that empowers students to achieve their full potential without fostering dependency—helping them excel in Economics while developing confidence and independent learning skills.

All H1 and H2 students will be placed in the same class. This is because the topics are largely similar for both H1 and H2. The slight difference between H1 and H2 are topics such as Market Structure, Cross Elasticity of Demand, Income Elasticity of Demand, which are covered in JC 1 for most colleges.

The difference between H1 and H2 is largely the examination format. For H1, students need to do 2 case studies. For H2, students need to do 3 out of 6 essay questions and also 2 case studies.

The ten-year-series (TYS) is an annual publication, which compiles all of the past 10 years’ GCE ‘O’ and ‘A’ level examination questions. The TYS has been used in schools for more than four decades. Students claim that the TYS shows a pattern in the types of questions asked over the years. Nonetheless, the questions now tend not to repeat in the future examinations, unlike in the past. Although the TYS is still relevant since knowing how well you do in an actual past-year paper gives you an indication of how prepared you are, students should also equip themselves with more than the TYS such as other guide books which covers the syllabus adequately as well. Following from this, Mr Anthony Fok has written a series of Economics guide books which covers areas such as evaluation points, diagrams, summary notes book and model essays which will facilitate the students in their revision.

Students come from different colleges in Singapore. There are private candidates sitting for the GCE ‘A’ level examination that attends the classes as well.

Due to Dr. Anthony Fok’s demanding schedule—including conducting lessons, authoring Economics guidebooks, and attending conferences—he is unfortunately unable to hold personal consultations with potential students or parents.

For all enquiries regarding tuition, lesson schedules, or registration, please reach out to the administrative staff via SMS. The staff are well-informed and able to provide detailed assistance, answer questions promptly, and ensure that your child’s enrolment process is smooth and efficient.

This approach allows Dr. Fok to focus on what he does best—teaching and mentoring students—while ensuring that all prospective families receive timely and accurate information from the administrative team.

In the GCE ‘A’ level examination, there is now less emphasis on testing the lower order thinking skills of knowledge and comprehension. In order to do well in the examinations, students must show evidence of higher order thinking skills (Application, Analysis, Synthesis and Evaluation) in their answers. Regurgitation of content from lecture notes will weaken their ability to achieve the highest level of response in the Economics paper. Students will need to be able to explain current economic events in terms of the relevant economic principles learnt and also integrate the different topics learnt to construct a coherent line of argument and reconcile conflicting ideas. In addition, students must be able to evaluate the effectiveness and limitations of the various economic policies learnt in the lecture notes. Finally, the answers given must be logical, clear and concise as examiners reward “quality” rather than “quantity” of response given in the essays.

Students should keep themselves updated on current affairs. They should be aware of global economic events, in particular the Singapore economy. Students need to keep abreast of current news and reports available online and on print media, as Economics is dynamic and constantly changing. Students will stand out if they are able to quote up-to-date information and statistics in their examination scripts.

Apart from having good knowledge on current affairs, students need to be able to apply economic concepts in the right context in order to excel.

Dr. Anthony Fok is widely recognised as one of Singapore’s leading Economics educators. He was featured in The Sunday Times in 2008 as “one of the five most sought-after tutors in Singapore”. As the article notes, “As he is well known for his ability to deliver results, parents try all means to put their child in his class.” This recognition reflects both his exceptional reputation and the trust parents place in his proven ability to help students succeed.

Dr. Fok’s effectiveness extends far beyond academic instruction. “I believe that my popularity as a top Economics tutor in Singapore comes from more than merely imparting Economics knowledge,” he explains. “I motivate students to love the subject, and to see beyond grades alone. I teach values and life lessons that will benefit them long after they graduate. I am more than a tutor—I aim to be a mentor and a friend to my students.”

One of Dr. Fok’s key strengths is his ability to shorten the learning process and bridge the gap between what is taught in schools and what actually appears in the A-Level examinations. Students come to him seeking top grades, and he consistently delivers results by providing clear explanations, exam-focused strategies, and personalised guidance. He emphasises a partnership with his students: success is achieved through their effort combined with his expert coaching.

Dr. Fok’s passion for teaching is evident in every lesson. “I enjoy teaching and I am lucky to find great satisfaction in my work,” he says. This dedication, combined with his extensive experience, academic qualifications, and track record of student success, is what truly sets Dr. Anthony Fok apart as an exceptional Economics tutor in Singapore.

Under his guidance, students not only gain mastery of Economics but also develop confidence, motivation, and life skills that serve them well beyond the classroom. It is this combination of expertise, mentorship, and genuine care for students’ growth that makes Dr. Anthony Fok a standout educator.

Most Junior College (JC) students are generally self-motivated as evident from their own initiative to sign up for economics tuition. They know that the stakes are high and extra effort is required in order to secure their distinctions to qualify for the top local and overseas universities. Dr Anthony Fok constantly messages his students on a regular basis to keep in touch with them on a personal level as a friend rather than as a tutor. He lends a listening ear when students need support and encouragement, especially during examination period.

Dr Anthony Fok only specializes in teaching A-level Economics for H1 and H2 students.

No. Dr Anthony Fok’s schedule is fully booked for group tuition at Bishan, Bukit Timah and Tampines.

In contrast to home tutors who may not have the relevant teaching experience and structured lesson materials in place, Dr Anthony Fok’s detailed lessons plans optimizes lesson delivery. Through interactive group discussions, students are able to gain a better and deeper understanding of the subject content. This is supported by the proven track record as shown from the quality results produced and positive testimonials from former students.

No.

Yes. All Economics tuition lessons are entirely taught by Dr Anthony Fok. This is to ensure top quality in lesson delivery. He is a ‘one-man-show” tutor. All lessons are delivered live.

There will be no relief teacher. The lesson will be cancelled and a replacement class will be arranged.

Due to the limited vacancies available, JCEconomics.com is unable to offer a trial lesson. However, in the unlikely event that you do not benefit from the lessons, you are free to withdraw from the classes at the end of 4 lessons.

The popular time slots for JC 2 Economics classes are usually fully booked by March. Interested students will be placed on a waiting list.

Definitely! No one should leave the classroom in doubt. Students can arrange for a separate consultation on an ad-hoc basis with the tutor. In addition, all students are given Dr Anthony Fok’s personal mobile number upon registration. They can text him even after tuition hours to seek help in Economics.

The name list of students who have scored distinctions are listed on the website on an annual basis. The percentages of students who scored ‘A’s and ‘B’s are also listed on the website. Do note that Dr Anthony Fok teaches a large pool of students on a yearly basis. The sample size of students is much larger as the students come from all walks of life, not merely from the top branded schools.

Yes. All the testimonials listed on the website were written by students from Dr Anthony Fok’s Economics tuition classes. Photographs also accompany the testimonials given for verification.

The academic certificates of Dr Anthony Fok are displayed prominently at the tuition centre in Bukit Timah.

All students are placed in the same tuition class. However, H2 students will attend additional payable classes to cover the extra topics covered in the H2 syllabus. H1 students do not need to attend the additional class.

As this is a group tuition class, there are usually students from different schools in the same group. Therefore, it is unrealistic to expect everyone to be learning the same topic at the same time. If you have learnt what Dr Anthony Fok happens to be teaching at the moment, learn it again from a different perspective. You may learn something you didn’t know before. If you haven’t learnt what Dr Anthony Fok is teaching in class, you should pay attention and learn it well so that you will be well prepared when your teachers teach you the same topic in school. The idea is you probably will be taught twice for every topic – once by your school teacher and once by Dr Anthony Fok. You will also probably do a lot more essay questions than your peers and therefore, you should be more competent and confident with the topics.

All students who sign up for classes will be given a full-year’s detailed lesson plan. Students will know in advance what topics will be covered during lessons.

Dr Anthony Fok believes in ensuring that all the topics are adequately revised and covered during the tuition classes. It is important not to “gamble”. Legitimately, nobody should have prior access to the papers set by the Ministry of Education of Singapore in collaboration with the University of Cambridge Local Examination Syndicate. Nonetheless, being very familiar with the past-year examination questions since I am the author of the answers to the ten-year-series, I can readily tell students in which year this particular type of questions has most recently come out and how often it has come out in the past. I make it a point to always keep abreast of the latest exam trends, both local and overseas, and update my notes accordingly for the benefits of my students.

No genuine tutors can guarantee distinctions. Students need to work hard together with Dr Anthony Fok’s proper guidance.

Yes. Mr Anthony Fok will personally mark any extra essays that you choose to do. He will also provide written feedback on how you can improve on your work.

No. There will not be any duplication of notes found in the books written and the notes that are distributed during lesson time. Students are strongly encouraged to purchase the guidebooks to help them with the revision at home.

Dr Anthony Fok has written an entire series of Economics books catering to students sitting for the GCE ‘A’ level examination. The books cover specific skill sets that students might wish to improve on.

For example, there are different books on drawing diagrams, writing evaluation points, scoring for essays and case studies, etc.

Students are strongly encouraged to purchase the books to help them improve on their weakness.

The notes are not for sale. It is the delivery of the lessons that makes Dr Anthony Fok’s lessons unique – not merely the notes.

The true measure of Dr. Anthony Fok’s lessons is found in the experiences of his students. With over 250 five-star Google reviews and glowing testimonials from former students, it’s clear that his teaching produces real results. Students consistently highlight how Dr. Fok makes complex Economics concepts easy to understand, and how his exam-focused strategies help them gain confidence and achieve top grades.

Dr. Fok’s lessons are not just about memorizing content—they are carefully structured to build deep understanding, critical thinking, and practical application of Economics in real-world scenarios. Every lesson is tailored to address individual strengths and weaknesses, ensuring that students make continuous progress.

Parents can be confident that their child will benefit from:

• Clear, structured explanations that simplify even the most challenging topics

• Exam-oriented techniques that maximize scoring potential

• Personalized guidance that supports their child’s unique learning needs

• Real-life examples that make Economics relevant, engaging, and meaningful

Combined with Dr. Fok’s credentials, proven results, and recognition in leading media as one of Singapore’s top five super tutors, his lessons offer an unparalleled learning experience. Students leave motivated, confident, and fully prepared to excel in their A-Level Economics examinations.

• Students are welcomed to stay behind after class to clarify any doubts they might have at no extra charge.
• Students can SMS/Whatsapp the tutor even after tuition hours if they need help in any concepts. Dr Anthony Fok will personally reply the messages at no extra charge.
• Students can book an ad-hoc appointment with Dr Anthony Fok for a personal consultation during weekdays to seek help in topics they are unsure of.
• Students can request for additional notes or revision packages, which include model essays and key concepts to revise on.

Economics is unlike other subjects like Mathematics or Sciences. In order to do well for Economics, students need to be equipped with the necessary skills to interpret examination questions correctly and construct arguments effectively within exam conditions to score and excel.

Some students do badly for Case Studies because they are not exposed to real world context or examples. In fact, many essay questions are usually linked to Singapore context or other developed countries like USA or Japan and developing countries like Vietnam, Brazil, China and India. Students need to have the relevant knowledge of these countries in order to write well. Bearing this in mind, Dr Fok has crafted special notes to give students the Grade A, i.e. the Level 3 marks (highest marks given for distinction grade). In order to hit Level 3 (L3), students need to give evaluation and analysis points. His notes will summarize all these evaluation and analysis points.

On the first lesson, Dr Anthony Fok will speak personally to all new students to give guidance on how to study for Economics. He will also pass a copy of the previous lessons’ materials so that he/she can catch up. Another suggestion is for JC 2 students to join the JC 1 classes as well. This will help them to catch up on their foundation topics.

No. However, there are intensive revision programme classes conducted in December for JC 1 students to catch up on their foundation topics.

Yes. Please refer to the “Intensive Revision Programme” and “Case Study Workshop” links on the website.

It is never too late to start, as long as your child is willing to work hard. Many students have joined Dr. Anthony Fok’s classes even just 3 months before their A-Levels and gone on to score As in Economics. You can read their success stories in the testimonials from former students.

To ensure new students can catch up quickly, the tutor will provide recorded videos of earlier lessons and comprehensive notes. This allows your child to review past content at their own pace while keeping up with current lessons, maximising their chances of exam success.

Absolutely. The full A-Level Economics syllabus is comprehensively covered within the 1.5-hour weekly sessions. Over the years, numerous batches of students have consistently achieved distinctions with this schedule.

What truly matters is the quality and effectiveness of the lessons, not simply the duration. Dr. Anthony Fok’s sessions are highly focused, strategically structured, and exam-oriented, ensuring that every minute is used efficiently to deepen understanding, clarify challenging concepts, and equip students with the skills needed to excel in examinations.

With this approach, students not only grasp the syllabus thoroughly but also develop confidence, critical thinking, and exam-ready techniques—all within the 1.5-hour weekly framework.

Students come from different colleges in Singapore. There are private candidates sitting for the GCE ‘A’ level examination that attends the classes as well.

Absolutely. We understand that students may have busy schedules or unexpected commitments. If your child cannot attend their allocated tuition lesson, they can join another class within the same week, giving them the flexibility to catch up without falling behind. All lessons are repeated weekly, from Friday to Sunday, so your child will always have an opportunity to learn the same content.

Additionally, every lesson is recorded and made available for students to review at their own pace. This ensures that even if they miss a class, they won’t miss out on any critical concepts, exam techniques, or learning guidance.

With this system, parents can rest assured that their child’s learning is continuous, comprehensive, and supported, maximizing their chances of excelling in Economics.
