About Karen Chen

Karen Chen teaches IB Business Management at Standard and Higher Level and Cambridge IGCSE Business Studies (0450) at KS Academia Prep. A graduate of NUS Business School, she brings over 8 years of tutoring experience to both tracks.

Students starting Business often arrive comfortable with the vocabulary of business, from the news or family conversation, but less comfortable turning that familiarity into an exam-ready answer. Karen's lessons focus on that translation: naming the right tool, applying it to the specific organisation in the case, and reaching a justified judgement, which is what both the Cambridge and IB mark schemes reward.

She also teaches IB and IGCSE Economics one to one.
