“Skills & techniques to ace economics. Extremely helpful teaching style & timed practices. Every student has opportunity to voice out & he would address any misconception right away.”
“Best economics teacher! I could not bear to miss even 1 lesson! Taught application in real world & even made me a better person. My grade jumped from U to B immediately & eventually an A.”
“I initially doubted that anything could help to improve my economics, what with my unsatisfactory grade of U for promotional exams. I was proven wrong on the first day of Mr Hong’s lessons. His use of dramatic sounds livened up the lessons and I found myself eager for more. I could not bear to miss even one lesson as I wanted to enjoy every minute of his extraordinary teachings. His constructive feedbacks and concise teachings made me understand economics and its mechanisms almost instantaneously. He also builds close rapport with students which allows students to internalise his lessons more effectively. Even after I felt that I had understood everything, he did not stop there, and taught more values to economics and its application in real world. During his lessons, I savoured all knowledge he has imparted to us, not only for the improvement in my grades, but also for making me a better person in today’s competitive world driven by demand and supply. Results also show themselves quickly. My grade jumped from U to B immediately in the next test. I am proud to say I achieved a stellar grade of A for GCE ‘A’ Levels economics of which I once never dared to dream. I strongly recommend his lessons but I have to admit one has to work hard and practice to utilise his teachings effectively. Thank you Mr Hong for being my best Economics teacher!”
“I want to say a very big thank you from the bottom of my heart for all your help. You’re a really great teacher and I can say that my true economics education took place during your classes.”
Joining Mr Hong’s Economics tuition was one of the best decisions I made in 2 years of JC. Mr Hong’s explanations were much clearer & easier to understand compared to school lecturers.”
“Thanks Mr Hong, your lessons are very effective!I can still remember that I was struggling with Econs like how many other schoolmates did for my June Common Test in JC1. I studied hard for it, but only managed to obtain a passing grade of E. Feeling desperate, I went to source for tuition. I asked around for good Econs tutors and I managed to chance upon Mr Hong’s webpage. Thinking back now, joining Mr Hong’s Economics tuition was one of the best decisions I made in 2 years of my JC. Mr Hong’s way of teaching really caught my attention. He uses many questions to keep the class engaged. The most important thing was that his explanations were much clearer and easier to understand compared to school lecturers who just merely went through the lecture notes. What I especially liked about his lessons was that he always kept us thinking of different possible ways of answering questions and how we can improve our answers and even improve the schools’ answer scheme. Practice makes perfect. This is clearly evident in Mr Hong’s lessons as we are given tonnes of CSQ and essay practice questions, coupled with timed assignments and tests to further prepare ourselves for the exams. After which, he would then mark our answers and provide important critiques and comments on how we can polish up our answers to improve from a level 2 to a level 3. He also often reminds us on the common misconceptions students tend to make so that we will be more cautious during the exams not to repeat those mistakes. Finally, I really want to say a big thank you to Mr Hong as I could not have achieved an A for Econs without his tutoring. Not just that, he actually ignited my interest for economics and I really enjoyed his lessons very much. Thank you Mr Hong!”

“Fortunately, under Mr Hong, i was able to brush up on the skills and techniques to ace economics. I think what was extremely helpful was his style of teaching and that each tuition session was limited to a few students.This ensured that every student will have an opportunity to voice their thoughts about a question posed and if there were any misconceptions, he would address it right away, benefiting the other students who could learn from the mistake of others. His timely timed practices before major examinations in school and also before the A levels were also helpful in allowing our minds to adjust to exam conditions so that we could perform our best during exams. Without Mr Hong’s help, I doubt I would be able to get A for economics so thank you Mr Hong”

Mr Hong is a great tutor! Lessons with Mr Hong are fun and engaging. The resources are also really helpful!
From discouragement to great improvement! To my surprise, I felt myself enjoying the subject more and more. I wouldn’t have been able to do so without Mr Hong’s help!
Before I started lessons with Mr Hong, I had a very weak grasp of the subject. In J1, I scored U for every exam and was very discouraged. When my mother suggested that I attend tuition for Economics at the start of J2, I was really skeptical and did not think the lessons would yield much results as I already had a very weak foundation. To my surprise, my Economics grade began to improve in subsequent exams and I myself felt myself beginning to enjoy the subject more and more. I ended up scoring a B in my A Levels, and I’m really satisfied with this results. I wouldn’t have been able to do so without Mr Hong’s help!
TET is completely different. Mr. Kelvin doesn’t drill you; he ‘grills, thrills, and fills!’ He constantly pushes us to think critically and analyse—the exact skills you actually need to score an ‘A’.”
