How are students taught?

At JC Economics Education Centre, we prioritize a student-centered approach to learning, with a strong emphasis on essay questions and case studies as primary teaching tools. Through guided instruction, students are equipped with the necessary skills to effectively tackle these types of questions, from thorough economics question analysis to structured answer-writing techniques. By immersing students in real-world scenarios and encouraging critical thinking, they not only deepen their understanding of economic concepts but also sharpen their analytical and evaluative skills. Additionally, our pedagogical approach includes dedicated lessons focused on summarizing key topics, ensuring that students have a solid foundation of knowledge to build upon. Throughout the learning process, instructors actively engage students by posing thought-provoking questions, reinforcing connections between concepts and exam questions. This two-way approach fosters an interactive learning environment where students continually reinforce their understanding and application of economic principles, ultimately leading to success in examinations.

What are the syllabus for Economics taught at JC Economics Education Centre?

At JC Economics Education Centre, we offer comprehensive instruction in H1 and H2 Economics, adhering closely to the A Level Syllabus outlined by the Singapore Examinations and Assessment Board (SEAB). Both H1 and H2 students attend the same tuition classes. However, recognizing the additional depth and complexity of the H2 syllabus, we provide specialized supplementary lessons conducted exclusively for H2 Economics students. These additional sessions cover the chapters unique to the H2 curriculum, delving into topics such as Market Structure and International Trade, and intricacies that are essential for success in the examination. Our approach ensures that all students, regardless of their level, receive the support and guidance needed to excel in their economics studies and achieve their academic goals.

How can I enrol for lessons at JC Economics Education Centre? What are the fees like?

Can I buy the Economics notes instead of attending the tuition classes?

No, the Economics notes are not for sale.

The notes are designed to be used together with the lessons, not as a standalone product. What makes the real difference is the delivery and conduct of the lessons—how concepts are explained, applied, questioned, and refined in an exam-focused classroom setting.

During lessons, students are guided on:

  • How to interpret questions accurately

  • How examiners assess answers

  • How to structure responses under time pressure

  • How to avoid common but costly mistakes

Without the lesson explanations, discussions, and real-time guidance, the notes alone would not provide the same learning impact or results.

This integrated approach is what ensures clarity, consistency, and strong academic outcomes for students.
