IB and IGCSE Economics tuition at Orchard Road, a few MRT stops from SJI International on the Thomson-East Coast Line, walking distance from EtonHouse International School Orchard, and a short trip from ACS (International).
"In town" is how most Singapore parents describe the Orchard, Somerset and Dhoby Ghaut belt, the central strip most schools, MRT lines and after-school commutes eventually pass through. KS Academia Prep sits inside that belt, at Far East Shopping Centre, #15-06, 545 Orchard Road, a short walk from Orchard MRT.
That matters more than it sounds. A central, MRT-connected location means a student finishing school across town does not need a parent to drive across the island for a single Economics lesson. They can get here directly, on one line, and get home the same way.
SJI International's High School campus is on Thomson Road, a short walk from Caldecott MRT.
SJI International teaches Cambridge IGCSE in the middle years and the IB Diploma in the final two, the same subject arc as KS Academia Prep's Economics programme. That is why students coming from Thomson Road move straight from IGCSE Economics into IB SL or HL Economics with us without a gap in how the subject is taught.
10 Tanglin Road, opposite the St Regis Hotel: genuinely walking distance from Far East Shopping Centre, and by the school's own description the only international school actually on Orchard Road.
EtonHouse Orchard's secondary years lead to Cambridge IGCSE and International A-Levels, not the IB Diploma at this campus, so this is a strong fit for IGCSE Economics specifically, and for A-Level Economics support alongside it.
61 Jalan Hitam Manis, off Dunearn Road, roughly 15 minutes from Orchard by car or Grab. ACS (International) runs the same IGCSE-then-IB-Diploma structure as SJI International, a familiar curriculum match for families already planning a trip into town for specialist Economics coaching.
KS Academia Prep is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or partnered with SJI International, EtonHouse International School Orchard, or ACS (International). These notes describe real, publicly verifiable locations and curricula to help families plan their commute, nothing more.
Looking for IGCSE Economics near SJI International, EtonHouse Orchard or ACS International, or Economics tuition in town more generally? This is the class Kirby runs every week.
Kirby Ng, our Lead IGCSE Economics Tutor, designs and runs our weekly IGCSE Economics group classes, built around Cambridge's assessment objectives for the 0455 syllabus, and taught in English, Mandarin or Korean depending on what works for your child.
“My economics grades went from a 60–70% in grade 9 to a 94% in the IGCSE”
I started attending KS classes in grade 9, getting tuition help with mostly IGCSE subjects. My economics tutor was Kirby Ng, and I think what made his lessons with me so helpful and special was his approachability. One of the most memorable experiences I have with Kirby would be the holiday programme, where we would meet as a class almost 6 hours a week, just to drill through the past papers, and also to cover any content that we lacked.
“Kirby’s lessons are well structured, making economics a more accessible and real-world subject”
The most useful thing has been understanding the chain of analysis.
“It is fun, but also serious when it needs to be — that is a good mix, so time flies and you learn a lot more”
The way Kirby mixes jokes and economics together makes the class more fun, more interesting and more understandable.
“The right choice to strengthen your knowledge for economics”
The most useful part was the constant reminders and revision back to past lessons — it gives me active thinking and long-term memory of the information. I’m glad I had Kirby as my first economics teacher.

앴이비 경제 보고 양기쑑 돑의적야. 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.
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.
