ABOUT MR ANTHONY FOK

Mr Fok is a passionate tutor who has devoted his life to education. After graduating from university, he joined an MNC as a Senior Consultant. He then left the private sector and joined the Ministry of Education. Subsequently, he moved on to providing private tuition to students require more help outside of school.
He is glad to have embarked on this journey which has both its ups and downs. As a private tutor and the only one helming JC Economics Tuition Centre, he has a lot of work to do. However, this allows him to reach out to students from different Junior Colleges and also have greater autonomy over his teaching methods and style.
Mr Fok is well-loved by his students, who initially came to him to improve their academic performance, but over time saw him as a friend. Having nurtured hundreds of students over the years, Mr Fok continues to be motivated by the impact he has on his students’ lives.
His other passion lies in economics. He is most proud of his work when he imparts a love for the subject to his students, aside from helping them excel in it. After all, economics is not just an academic subject, but also one way of looking at the world and appreciating it.
