FOREWORD
Dear parents,
Since the inception of JC Economics Education Centre in 2012, I am proud to share that a significant majority of my students have achieved distinctions in their A-Level Economics examinations, paving their path to esteemed universities both locally and overseas to pursue further studies. It is my unwavering commitment to uphold the highest standards of academic excellence that drives me to personally conduct all JC Economics tuition classes. By taking a hands-on approach to teaching, I ensure that the quality of each lesson remains uncompromised and tailored to meet the unique learning needs of every student.
Each lesson is meticulously designed and meticulously planned to achieve specific learning outcomes, drawing upon years of experience and insights gained from past examiner reports by Cambridge examiners. Utilizing a comprehensive and rigorous teaching methodology, I strive to empower students with the necessary skills and knowledge to excel in their A-Level Economics papers. Furthermore, I integrate personal anecdotes and real-world examples into my lessons, fostering a deeper understanding and retention of economic concepts among students.
In addition to theory-based instruction, in-class practices are also incorporated to provide students with opportunities to apply the skills and concepts learned in class. Through continuous guidance and support, I am confident that students will not only grasp the intricacies of economics but also develop the critical thinking skills and analytical abilities essential for success in their examinations.
Yours faithfully,
Dr. Anthony Fok
