★★★★★아이비 경제 믿고 여기서 들으세요. The best econs tution you can find in Singapore. I started taking lessons from here since IGCSE econs all the way upto IB econs. I successfully managed to gain both a 7 in HL econs and A for econs extended essay. The active interactions between the tutor and students as well as the top tier teaching skills of the tutor made my experience here truly memorable.
“For IB Economics, trust this place and take your lessons here.”

★★★★★Taking classes from Jason tutor was an amazing experience. He focuses on both the 'intuitive understanding of economic concepts' and 'the practical methods to score high marks in the actual exam'. He is also very capable of planning lessons based on the individual needs of the student, which proves that he thoroughly observes each students for their weaknesses and capabilities. Thanks for Jason, I was not only able to get a 7 for economics on the IB Final exam, but was able to develop an economic mindset and logic and take it with me even after graduating highschool.
But afterall, he is passionate of what he teaches and the impact he gives to his students, which is what inspired me most of all.

★★★★★I joined Jason's IB econs class during Grade 11 and it's been really helpful! I was always very engaged during the lessons and the way Jason teaches is very efficient. I maintained a 7 throughout the IB course and ended up getting a 7 on my final exam as well. Thanks to Jason, I didn't have to prepare too much for finals - the weekly lessons itself are enough to pull you through! Totally recommend if you want to score high or if you are struggling with econs.

★★★★★在KS Academia prep的学习体验真的非常棒！Jason老师的教学方法特别有帮助。他不仅会耐心讲解经济学的知识和理论，还会帮学生剖析答题技巧和学习方法。他从不要求学生死记硬背，而是通过思维导图和逻辑链条的方式，帮助我们把知识点理解透彻、记得牢固。他教给我的论文结构、答题技巧、IA写作方法和高效记忆法，不仅让我在IB HL经济中拿到了7分，而且这些学习方法也让我在其他科目上同样受益。很高兴能遇到像Jason老师这样认真负责、真心为学生着想的老师。通过他的课程，我不仅取得了理想的成绩，养成了良好的学习习惯，更对经济这门学科产生了浓厚的兴趣。另外，Jason老师的押题也非常准！他总能提前预判考试的重点内容，帮助学生做好最充分的考前准备。真心推荐给所有正在学习IB经济的同学！
The learning experience at KS Academia Prep has been genuinely excellent! Mr Jason's teaching methods are especially helpful. He doesn't just patiently explain economic knowledge and theory; he also helps students break down answering technique and study method. He never asks us to memorise by rote; instead he uses mind maps and chains of logic to help us understand each concept thoroughly and retain it.
The essay structure, answering technique, IA writing method and efficient memorisation approach he taught me not only got me a 7 in IB HL Economics, they have benefited me in my other subjects too. I'm very glad to have met a teacher as conscientious as Mr Jason, one who genuinely thinks about his students. Through his classes I achieved the grade I wanted, built good study habits, and developed a real interest in economics as a subject. What's more, Mr Jason has a very accurate sense of which topics matter most: he anticipates an exam's key content in advance and helps students prepare thoroughly. I sincerely recommend him to everyone studying IB Economics!

★★★★★Although I spent less than a year learning from Jason, his tutoring has been the most enriching and beneficial for me. From the start, I wasn't a very competent humanities student, and getting the highest grade seemed completely out of reach.
Then, I was introduced to Jason by a friend in JC. His lessons helped to bolster my conceptual understanding of the principles of Microeconomics and Macroeconomics, and his way of teaching even brought me to enjoy the topic of International Economics, which originally was my least favourite topic.
Later on, I was able study more efficiently with Jason's notes compared to using the rather verbose textbooks recommended by school. Jason's notes and summary courses are terse and also very enriching, and they left room for additional real-world examples that I could even use in my essays.
Eventually, this allowed me to secure a substantially higher score for my school tests and assignments, and I noticed significant improvement in my understanding and participation in Economics classes in school as well.
Furthermore, Jason's way of using real-world examples and making different sample questions to cover all the topics trained me to strategize before the exam season. His timed practices also helped to optimize my in-exam pace, which a lot of students (including myself) were struggling with.
Ultimately, I noticed massive improvement from near-failing to a top grade, proving Jason's resources and tutoring skills to be exceptionally useful and effective in improving one's economics skills.

★★★★★I took IB Econ lessons from Jason. He was very clear, patient, and knew exactly how to guide me through the IB. He also had a strong understanding of both IB requirements and Economics, so he was always able to answer my questions clearly and in detail. His explanations helped me understand difficult concepts much better, and he also provided classes for IA, which were rly important in order to achieve good grades. I recommend his classes for IB Econ students. Best in sg

★★★★★I learned IGCSE Economics and IB Economics SL from my tutor Jason. His explanations were always clear and he provided students with appropriate examples that helped me to understand theories better. Thanks to his lessons, Economics was not a problem at all for me in my IB finals.

★★★★★I've been a student of Ms. Ara since 5th grade. I am now a rising sophomore who has successfully met all expectations of the math standards each year. I have seen KS Academia Prep grow into an educational space that supports, respects, and pushes students into trying their best. Each and every teacher in the hagwon has a distinct passion for teaching, and I can tell that students go home learning something each day.

★★★★★아라원장님 수학수업 덕분에 학교 제일 잘하는 학생들 반에서 성적 유지하고있어요!! 항상 필요한 자료로 어려운 문제들을 차근차근 설명해주시고, 각 학생들에게 맞춰서 수학수업을 해주셔서 너무 좋아요!
Thanks to Director Ara's math classes, I am maintaining my grades in the class of the top students at school!! I really love that you always explain difficult problems step-by-step using necessary materials and tailor the lessons to each student!

★★★★★Great teacher who engages properly with students, both in and out of the classroom. In their economics programme, concepts are conveyed in a fun and understandable manner, and salient in real life contexts. Will recommend here for tuition!
