Mr. Don Chng is an experienced Economics Tutor with 7 years of experience. A former student of Mr. Koh, he graduated from Anglo-Chinese School (Independent) with a distinction in Economics at the International Baccalaureate level.
Being one of the top students from ACS(I), Mr. Chng received an Academic Excellence Award from the school for achieving an impressive score of 43 out of 45 in his IB examinations. He subsequently pursued a degree in Business Administration (Finance) at the National University of Singapore.
During his time at NUS, Mr. Chng was a key member of the NUS Investment Society for two years, serving as the Deputy Lead Research Analyst in the Global Macroeconomics Department. In this role, he gained valuable experience by presenting equity and global macro reports to industry professionals from GIC and conducting weekly workshops on investing and macroeconomics for an average audience of 100 participants.
Mr. Chng’s own journey with Economics was initially challenging. However, after encountering Mr. Koh’s teaching methods, particularly the “Parachute Concepts”, he experienced a significant transformation in his understanding of the subject. These concepts made Economics more accessible and easier to grasp compared to his previous learning experiences. Within three months, Mr. Chng dramatically improved his grades, achieving a distinction in his IB Economics examinations.
Inspired by Mr. Koh’s impactful teaching, Mr. Chng has followed in his footsteps as an Economics Tutor as well. Mr. Chng now aims to empower students with the knowledge and skills necessary to excel in Economics exams, just as Mr. Koh did for him.
Don is a very inspiring economics teacher. Before I joined his class, I struggled to understand the concepts in economics and also lacked exposure to the different kind of questions. Because of that, I couldn’t attain the results I desired for block test and end of years. When I joined Don, he filled the missing gaps in my understanding of the topics which helped me gain a good grasp of every single topic. He also drilled my question answering skills and critical thinking by making me do many papers and even sat me down and patiently corrected the mistakes I made. I was so over the moon when I saw my grade for econs. It improved tremendously from a E to an A. Econs went from a subject I dreaded doing to something I find really fun which is why I would highly recommend his tuition if you struggle with economics.
Don is a great economics teacher. I joined him in late September, only a few weeks to my A Levels. At the point, I was panicking because my econs was my worst subject. Throughout my years in JC I could barely pass in all my tests and examinations. When I received my prelim results which was a S, I was frantically trying to find a good econs teacher that could help me push up my score. When I joined Don, he broke down the concepts and helped me to understand the basics. He gave me a lot of practice and went through every error I was making. He is patient and always makes sure you understand the concepts before proceeding on. I am ecstatic when I saw my A level score for econs. It went from a S to an A in the span of a month. I am very thankful for his help and would highly recommend if you struggle with economics
Don has helped me improve a lot in economics! I often found myself lagging behind and struggling to keep up with the content and workload involved in school and struggled to understand the application of the topics. Don helped to explain the concepts clearly, while providing concise notes which made revision much easier as well. He also gave me practices to do frequently to allow me to be familiar with the question types and the application of the content. I really appreciated the fact that he helped make economics as a subject come alive in the sense that he showed me how the theories and concepts in our textbooks were based off what was happening in real-life and how applicable it is. This helped make the subject more enjoyable to study and helped me to improve my overall grade as well
