Economics Tuition Trial Class – What to Expect
Each Economics tuition trial class is conducted on a paid basis (1 lesson, pro-rated). Students attending the class can expect a full 2-hour class consisting of
- Content distillation: cutting through content in school notes to highlight key themes that are commonly tested.
- Application skills: learning of key writing structures (packed into easy-to-remember mnemonics) to help tackle common tested questions.
- Question review: exposure to past year examination questions to develop student’s conviction i.e. to see how the structures learnt can be put to practice.

Companion Website (free sign-up for Economics Trial Class students)
The main purpose of TET’s companion website is to help students achieve more practice in essay-writing through the use of comprehensive essay plans. More topical plans will be added progressively, so be sure to check in regularly. In addition, there is a flashcard function which allows students to revise key content pertaining to each topic (a quicker alternative to re-reading your notes every time you do your revision).

Mr Koh has written two books which are available at Popular bookstores and Shinglee publisher’s online store. Students should know that the ‘A’ Level Economics exam is as much an assessment of their content knowledge, as it is a test of a student’s exam skills. Hence, subsumed within Mr Koh’s guidebooks is a collection of exam-smart tips which will benefit students in their endeavour to scoring an ‘A’. In writing his guidebook, Mr Koh has aimed to keep the tips parsimonious and straight-to-the-point. But if you have additional queries, please feel free to write him an email or drop him a message directly.
In addition, Mr Koh is the author of the H2 Economics Ten Year Series and has been writing the answers beginning from the 2004 A Levels. On top of providing reference solutions to past-year ‘A’ Level questions, extra features in Mr Koh’s Ten Year Series include:
(i) An Author’s Note after each question to dissect key details in the question, as well as to highlight common mistakes made by students. Trending patterns (e.g. standard questions pertaining to a particular topic) are also highlighted to boost the students’ ability to recognise key concepts which are regularly tested.
(ii) A Consistent Approach based on my Mr Koh’s own SCS framework (for essays) and the SCEED framework (for case studies). Key points in the answers are also bolded for the students’ attention.
(iii) Two Bonus Chapters to impart essential essay-writing and case study answering skills.
Before joining Mr Koh's classes, I thought of economics as a hard-core memorization subject. I was very lost as to how to write an essay, mostly spamming content based on what I memorised from lecture notes. Unable grasp the subject, I fared badly in JC1, failing my examinations. After attending Mr Koh's lessons for a period of time, I learned that there was a structure we could follow for every essay question, and that helped me greatly in essay writing. Using acronyms to help us recall structures and content better, I realised that I did not have to memorise tons of essays to be able to write well.

When I chose to retake A levels as a private candidate, I knew that it was essential to engage an experienced economics tutor that could help me improve my economics grades, given that I lacked the support of school teachers and regular school curriculum. With Mr Koh’s weekly lectures and personalised tutorial sessions, I had managed to improve greatly; from a C to an A! In addition to teaching the content material in a way that is easily digestible, Mr Koh’s concise notes offer crucial essay structures and visual mindmaps that allowed me to understand the subject in a way that came more naturally. Being able to write essays that delivered only the most important points in a short amount of time was also another essential skill I learned.
Besides just being spectacular at teaching, Mr Koh is truly one of the most inspiring teacher that have made a great impact on my life. His positivity and good energy radiates through his classes and it honestly always brightens up my day. I’ve often struggled with listening and liking teachers my whole life (which eventually even made me dropped out of my JC) but I can confidently say that Mr Koh is one of the only few exceptions in my life where i truly respect him. After dropping out, Mr Koh’s guidance really really helped my studying so much. While i also definitely put in a lot of effort studying to get my ‘A’ grade, it would not have been possible without the help of Mr Koh. i really cannot speak higher and recommend any teacher more than Mr Koh!!!
