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.

IB EconomicsJason Low

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.

IB EconomicsJason Low

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.

IB Economics HLJason Low

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 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.

“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.

EconomicsJason Low

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.

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.

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. 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.

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

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!

IGCSE EconomicsKirby Ng

I started attending KS classes in grade 9, getting tuition help with mostly IGCSE subjects. One of the subjects that helped me out the most at school is definitely economics. My economics tutor was Kirby Ng, and I think what made his lessons with me so helpful and special was his approachability. Kirby, apart from his superb teaching skills, was also an extremely friendly and approachable teacher, that I was able to contact at any time, when I had questions, or needed help with anything. 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. This especially helped me in my journey of economics, as Kirby gave each of us personalised feedback to help us excel. Overall, my economics grades went from a 60-70% in grade 9 to a 94% in the IGCSE. I strongly recommend these IGCSE economics lessons as it can often be quite challenging to study a completely new subject. I am certain that Kirby will be able to provide his support and guidance, no matter what level you are at, just like he did for me.

About Economics tuition in Singapore
How much does Economics tuition in Singapore cost?

Our Group Economics tuition at the IGCSE and IB level in Singapore typically runs from about S$440 to S$520 per month depending on level, group size and centre, with one-to-one rates higher. At KS Academia Prep, fees depend on the level (IGCSE or IB) and format, so message us on WhatsApp for the current rate for your child's level — we'll give you the exact figure rather than a range.

How do I choose the best Economics tuition in Singapore?

Judge a centre on four things rather than on claims: which syllabus it actually specialises in, whether written work comes back marked against the real mark scheme, how small the classes are, and whether the tutor can show you a track record at your specific level.

The most common mismatch in Singapore is syllabus: many Economics tuition centres are built for A-Level and JC students, so an IB or IGCSE student ends up being taught a syllabus they aren't sitting. Ask that question first.

Do you teach A-Level, JC or H2 Economics?

No. KS Academia Prep specialises in IB Economics (SL and HL) and Cambridge IGCSE Economics (0455) only. We don't teach JC A-Level (H1/H2) Economics.

That focus is deliberate: the IB and Cambridge mark schemes reward different things from the A-Level one, and we'd rather be genuinely specialised and expert in two syllabuses than be average across four.

Where is your Economics tuition centre in Singapore?

Far East Shopping Centre, #15-06, 545 Orchard Road, Singapore 238882 — about a five-minute walk from Orchard MRT (NS22 / TE14), Exit E. Most classes can also be attended online, so students anywhere in Singapore (or even outside of Singapore) can join without travelling.

IB & IGCSE specifics
Do you offer IB Economics tuition in Singapore?

Yes — IB Economics at both Standard and Higher Level, covering the written papers, the Internal Assessment, and the External Assessment. We have specialised classes for those taking the final IB Exams either in May or in November, for both G11 and G12 (or Year 5 and Year 6) IB Economics. Jason Low, who heads the department, is our IB Curriculum Designer of Economics. See the IB Economics page for how each component is assessed and where students most often lose marks.

Do you offer IGCSE Economics tuition in Singapore?

Yes — Cambridge IGCSE Economics (0455), taught for the current syllabus. Kirby Ng is our Lead IGCSE Economics Tutor and runs all the IGCSE group classes. See the IGCSE Economics page for the paper structure and what changed for 2027.

My child is moving from IGCSE to the IB Diploma — do you help with that transition?

Yes, and we have Pre-IB programmes specifically for students who are moving from IGCSE Economics to IB Economics. These programmes are to build strong fundamentals in content and application skills, specifically to ace high probability Economics test questions in the first semester of school. If you're also unsure which IB subjects and levels to take, our IBDP Subject Consultation is built for exactly that decision.

Lessons, tutors & getting started
Which tutor will my child have?

Jason Low, who heads the department, is IB Curriculum Designer of Economics and teaches the IB group classes. Kirby Ng is Lead IGCSE Economics Tutor and runs all the IGCSE Economics group classes. Jason reviews all tutors' lesson pedagogy in the subjects of Economics and Business Management, so the same standard holds whichever tutor your child is with.

I understand Economics but keep losing marks. Can tuition help?

This is the single most common situation we see, and it's very fixable. Losing marks despite understanding almost always comes down to exam technique — command words, diagram labelling, analysis chains and evaluation structure — none of which self-study teaches well. We diagnose where the marks are leaking, then work on the specific skills that close the gap.

How big are your Economics classes?

At the IGCSE Economics level, the maximum class size is 8 students, and for IB Economics, 10 students. Classes are kept deliberately small. Focused group sizes mean every student's written work actually gets seen and marked, and the tutor can coach individual technique rather than lecture. Tutors are trained to observe the attention of all students in class, to constantly check them with questions throughout the lessons to gauge their understanding, and to actually walk around and check all students' input/response for in-class assignments. Current group sizes vary by level — message us and we'll tell you exactly how many are in the class you're considering.

Do you teach Economics in Korean and Mandarin as well as English?

Yes. Lessons are taught primarily in English. But we do have lessons conducted in Simplified Chinese and Korean too. Some students who are stronger in another language besides English can understand the concept first and then learn to write the marks-earning answer in English. We can also speak with parents directly in these languages.

When are Economics classes held?

Weekday evenings and across the weekend, with additional intensive and revision courses during school breaks. See the lesson schedule above for current times and availability.

Do you offer a trial Economics lesson?

Yes — a no-commitment paid trial lesson where your child sits in on a full lesson before you decide to commit on a monthly basis. WhatsApp us at +65 8129 8782 with the level (IGCSE or IB) and preferred language, and we'll arrange a trial that fits.
