“Dr Fok is one of the best econs teachers around, he makes things easy to understand and lessons fun to sit through!! His way of teaching reaches beyond the subject, too, and he’s a very good mentor, not just another tuition teacher.”

Sarah Zhao (Hwa Chong Institution)

“The best teacher I’ve ever met. He gives very detailed notes which explains everything in a very in-depth manner. Also constantly repeats the same content so you will definitely remember everything needed by the time A levels is here. Gives a lot of extra lessons to go through answering techniques and answer format/scheme (and also offers practices from) many schools in order to expose us to many question types. A teacher who does his best to teach us is a teacher worth learning from so I definitely recommend everyone to learn econs from Dr Anthony Fok. Evidence that he really puts his heart into teaching us econs is really how he waived fees for extra lessons (about $440 per month) during Covid-19 for people who can’t afford it and still lets us attend his extra lessons. I mean…what more can I say? Best teacher ever!”

Chng Guang Ze (Victoria Junior College)

“Dr Fok’s teaching style is really good and extremely helpful to me. I came to him during JC2 because my Economics grade was an E for promos. He really helped me improve a lot, even helping me get an A for my preliminary examinations 🙂 He is a really kind and helpful teacher. During tough periods such as COVID-19, he would set up video lessons and answer my questions on Whatsapp which were all integral to my improvement in Economics. Besides this, he has a wealth of life experiences which he shares candidly with us, teaching us not just about Economics but about future prospects such as scholarships and career options. Overall, he is a very good Economics tutor and I wholeheartedly recommend him :D”

Calaena (Dunman High School)

“Mr Fok is a very helpful and dedicated teacher who will always speed reply any questions from students even if it was late at night. His lessons are curated in a way that is fun and engaging, and his explanations are always clear and easy to understand. A very useful part of his teaching is that he will highlight out the key points and keep repeating and drilling it until students remember, this is very useful for students who are struggling with content. Due to his lessons, I never had a problem with content as everything would be drilled in my brain after his lessons! The resources he provided were also essential to my learning, be it the model essays or evaluation compilations, which allowed my grades to shoot up. During J1 promos, I got an abominable grade of “S” for econs! but after going to his lessons, my grades shot up to B by J2 blocks. Thank you for your help Mr Fok!!”

Xia Yilin (National Junior College)

“Mr Fok is an excellent teacher. Before joining his lessons, I felt that econs was a very boring subject. When I tried reading my lecture book, my eyes would automatically close. However after joining his lessons, his notes was straight to the point with good evaluation, which was very different from my school’s lecture book. After a while, econs was the subject I was most confident in. Totally recommend joining his tuition. it’s very worth it and effective.”

Xin Hui (Tampines Meridian Junior College)

“Dr Fok is an excellent economics tutor, his lessons are easy to understand, his lesson materials are detailed and concise. He provides us with many insights on how economics can relate to the real world and inspires us to find out more on our own. He is really a miracle worker who helped save my economics grades from a U to an A during prelims. He is one of the best tutors you can find, he shares his life stories and real life experiences to give us an insight to the real world. He really cares about his students and I have never seen a tuition teacher go so far for his students, attending his tuition is the best decision I made in 2020.”

Chloe Tew (River Valley High School)

“Mr Fok has been an amazing economics tutor to me for the past year. After I got back my JC1 promo results, the letter ‘U’ beside my economics subject took me by surprise. Both my mother and I scrambled to find a tutor to help my grade, I stumbled upon Mr Fok’s class online and never regretted my decision to join ever since. Mr Fok’s classes are very engaging and was somehow able to turn a boring subject like economics into one of my favourite subjects. One method was to relate economics to our everyday lives and apply the terms we learn in class to real life examples. Unlike other tutors who just teach their students what they paid for, Mr Fok does not only teach his students everything they need to know to ace their exam, he also teaches them important life lessons that can be applied to our future. He also cares dearly for his students even after the A level journey had ended. These attributes displayed by Mr Fok is befitting of his title as Singapore’s super tutor for economics.”

Dexter Wong (Catholic Junior College)

“Dr Fok is a meticulous and experienced teacher, and my econs grades have improved substantially since attending his lessons. He’s always willing to lend a helping hand to his students and answer any questions we might have over text without any hesitation. His lessons never fail to keep us engaged with his wacky jokes and stories, and it is the pleasant and relaxing atmosphere that allows us to glean the most knowledge from his lessons.”

Davin (Raffles Institution)

“Dr Fok is always engaging during lessons and I look forward to his classes every week. After I started joining his classes, I was better able to grasp economic concepts and apply them during exams. This is especially so as he emphasises and reiterates crucial points to make sure that we remember them. Whenever I need help, he explains to me until my doubt is clarified. Being taught by Dr Fok has made me confident in writing for econs papers.”

Y. D. (Anderson Serangoon Junior College)

“Mr Fok is super nice he really goes beyond just the teaching aspect as a tutor!! He gives a lot of good advice regarding JC life, and post-JC plans during and after lessons! I started econs tuition since J1 and I really enjoyed studying econs throughout JC because Mr Fok made the concepts much easier for me to understand and appreciate, helping me score As and Bs throughout JC. Mr Fok also gives a lot of essays which I found very helpful while I was doing my revision because it made it easier for me to pick out examples for relevant contexts and identify question types easily. Lessons are usually very targeted and easy to follow because Mr Fok filters out the important things to note and is very selective on what to remember and what to know, which makes my revision process much easier. Thank you Mr Fok for the two years, I really enjoyed your lessons :D”

Le-Anne (Eunoia Junior College)

“Before joining I thought his lessons were gonna be solely focused on grinding our content and answering skills (usually super boring) but it was actually quite enjoyable. The way he teaches and guides us to answering questions were unique in the sense that he made economics more fun to learn and made me look forward to his next lesson. He also shares some stories from the past with us to lighten the mood and have some laughter which were helpful as a break and had some learning points. 10/10 would recommend.”

Dallas (Anderson Serangoon Junior College)

“Dr Fok is a superb teacher who has all the tips and tricks of scoring well in Economics. His classes are well thought out and lesson materials are extremely helpful in aiding my revision. He also goes the extra mile to answer your queries to the fullest extent and ensures your understanding of the concepts, be it during lesson time or after lessons which he is easily contactable. Thank you for two years of support Dr Fok!”

Nicholas Hsieh (Raffles Institution)

“Mr fok is an amazing economics tutor – 1. he puts his utmost effort in every class; trying his best to make lessons interesting and his notes clear & concise, translating perplexing and complex concepts into content that is straightforward and easy to understand/digest. 2. he is a very dedicated and patient teacher, I joined his tuition in mid j2 and my understanding of macroeconomics was very poor – I was confused about many basic concepts but after attending his classes and consulting him a few times, my school teacher remarked that I improved by a great lot and I felt that I comprehended this seemingly difficult subject a lot better. 3. he doesn’t just teach us economics but he shares with us many valuable and meaningful life stories that actually inspired and motivated me in various ways e.g. how not only do you have to work diligently in life to succeed you have to also maintain a good network/connections with people. 4. he puts on a bright cheery smile every lesson and is super encouraging; his humour and joyous attitude makes his lessons not only a fruitful learning experience but also a rather entertaining and positive one.”

Valerie Soon (Jurong Pioneer Junior College)

“Dr Fok is a very engaging teacher and I look forward to his lessons every week. He is able to make the usual heavy econs content into very bite sized pieces of information that it easier to process, and he also teaches us values beyond the classroom by sharing useful life stories. Dr Fok really makes us more interested to learn more about econs and allows us to see its real-life application!!”

Dhivya (National Junior College)

“Hi Mr Fok! I think I started to really like learning economics after I attended your tuition lessons. I remember how in the very first lesson when I was in JC1, when I sat in for the JC2 class unknowingly, you started laughing and asked me to wait outside of the class first because the JC1 class had not started yet. You were also taken aback when I told you I didn’t know what COE was oops. But still, thanks to your lessons, economics was the most enjoyable subject for me in JC. One of the things that I really liked about your lessons was that you always made us write handwritten notes and mind-maps in class. Writing it in this manner made it very easy for me to recall the relationships between factors when explaining concepts to my friends or writing my answer in the exam. Also, the stories that you told in class were very relatable and often helped me to get past any difficulties that I was having. I am also very grateful that you were considerate about my financial situation during the Covid-19 period. Thank you Mr Fok for teaching me economics :)”

Venisha (National Junior College)

“Mr Fok has deepened my understanding for economic concepts beyond textbook materials provided in school hence making it easier for me to grasp concepts as opposed to just purely memorising them. In addition, he exposes us to a wide variety of question types so that we will be certain and familiarised with the different answering techniques especially when this subject requires constant regurgitation and practice. He also puts in effort in making the lesson more engaging by relating concepts to real life scenarios and never fails to check on us every lesson to ensure that we are coping well. Lastly, he is also proactive in sending supplementary materials to further enhance our learning and improve on the areas that we are weak at. All in all, it really helps you to fill in the gaps in your understanding for econs and be more confident when doing questions!”

Lim Zhiyu (National Junior College)

“The lessons are very interesting, and the notes provided are actually quite useful and beneficial too. Besides the usual academic aspect, teacher will also teach us many life lessons and personal experiences which I found quite meaningful. For me, I feel that the pace of lesson is just nice and during lesson I also develop the skill to memorize content while writing down notes.”

Xu Ying (Anderson Serangoon Junior College)

“Dr Fok’s lessons are very engaging as he often uses real life examples to illustrate economic concepts, which helps me to understand and remember the content much better. He also gives us many useful notes such the keyword notes and notes compiling evaluation points, which is very useful to summarise what to look out for and what to write when evaluating. After attending his lessons, economics became much easier to understand and I became more interested in this subject. Dr Fok is also one of the most encouraging teachers I have met, he would often remind us to not be discouraged by our current results and would also give us study tips. He would also share with us stories and his life experiences to motivate us and teach us life values. I genuinely enjoy attending his lessons!”

Lim Wan Xuan (Victoria Junior College)

“Mr Fok is not really like any other tuition teacher I’ve had. Sure, other teachers are concerned about the overall wellbeing of their students, but I feel that Mr Fok puts in the effort to go the extra mile in making sure that his actions tally with whatever he preaches, may it be giving us useful advice in choosing our future university courses, or motivating us and educating us via funny but relatable anecdotes. Overall, Mr Fok is a wholesome teacher who is farsighted in his teaching in both academically and morally.”

Nicole Chia Jia Yi (Tampines Meridian Junior College)

“My biggest take away from Mr Fok’s lessons is that I find it extremely helpful and interesting, as he has the ability to show the connection between the economic concepts and its applications in the real world context. This no doubt improves my understanding and appreciation for the subject, and at the same time provides me with examples to use that help my essays stand-out. I personally see him more than just a tutor, as he’s also someone who is willing to spend the time and effort to listen and provide useful advices, when you face anything difficulties in your studies or personal life. Overall, Mr Fok’s classes are really fun and he’s someone I’ll be forever grateful for, for the guidance he has given me throughout my JC life.”

Uan Zhi Xian (Yishun Innova Junior College)

“Mr Fok finds interesting ways (through anecdotes and analogies) to engage his students so that we can better understand and memorise the economic concepts. instead of re-teaching us concepts learnt in school, he picks out areas that we lack in and offer us advanced evaluation points which will allow us to score better. under his guidance, I grew to like econs and managed to constantly top my class in econs during my school exams throughout my JC journey. whenever in doubt, I always seek his guidance as he is helpful and patient, even regarding questions i have about my school work. his lessons are very interesting and beneficial and i genuinely look forward to every lesson of his!”

Lim Jiamin (Catholic Junior College)

“Dr Fok is a passionate economics teacher who is willing to go the extra mile to help his students even outside the classroom. He is not only a tutor, but a life coach who shares with you his life experiences through the stories he tell, which has honestly given me more direction in life and learn that failures aren’t end of the world. He is also very resourceful and will provide you with all the resources you will ever need to do well in Econs!”

Qi Jing (Eunoia Junior College)

“Dr Fok lessons are really interesting so you won’t fall asleep. His constant repetition of certain concepts are really helpful as it just stays in your head so you don’t have to study so much content on a daily basis. The notes are easy to understand especially the summaries on graphs and evaluation.”

Wenjia (Tampines Meridian Junior College)

“Mr Fok is a very passionate teacher who never fails to make Economics interesting. His explanations on the various previously difficult concepts are very concise but yet highly rigorous. At the same time, his lessons are very funny as he tells us funny stories that are related to economics. This has indeed allowed me to understand the concepts better and it is the reason why I look forward to attending his weekly classes! When he marked my essays, he provided me valuable advice that cannot be obtained from school such as how to write only what is relevant, given the time constraint during the exams. His notes were very well crafted such as his compilation on a list of evaluative statements and also his notes on market structure (arguably the most difficult topic in H2 economics) easier to understand as compared to the school notes. Thank you Mr Fok!”

John Lim (Raffles Institution)

“I really enjoyed Dr Fok’s econs lessons. He not only mixes humour into his lesson to make it more enjoyable but he also breaks down complicated econs concepts into very simple and easy to understand terms. He is also very supportive off lesson time by always answering my questions as well as marking my essays that I submit. Thank you Dr Fok!”

Chan Jin Kai (Hwa Chong Institution)

“Dr Fok is an extremely caring teacher who is very responsive whenever I have questions on Whatsapp. What is extremely useful about his lessons is his ability to turn difficult concepts into ideas that can be easily understood and absorbed. Concepts are often quickly glanced over in school but his lessons allow for a deeper comprehension.”

Nicholas Sutiono (Hwa Chong Institution)

“The notes are really concise and thus easy to understand. Not only that the explanations of the concepts are really clear and are often related to real life examples hence making it easier to understand, memorise and linked all the concepts together. The evaluation points notes are really helpful . The technique to answer case studies is also taught making the questions less scary and more manageable:)”

Cherry Wai (Private Candidate)

“Mr Fok’s teaching is insightful and focuses on teaching students the basics of economics. His content classes are full of real world examples, which is particular helpful to apply to case study questions (CSQ), and to use as examples during essay questions. His emphasis on certain salient points mean that students will be able to learn them quickly. He is also quick to address areas where students commonly make misconceptions and clarify those areas. His teaching schedule is also in line with that of the curriculum in most schools, so that students do not have to struggle learning two foreign topics at the same time, and whatever students learnt in school can be reinforced in school. Furthermore, he also provides evaluations to common questions and teaches how to make better evaluations. His lessons on CSQs are also very helpful as he takes the time to go through the case material and link the content to the possible questions examiners may ask.”

Anna Cynthia (Dunman High School)

“Mr Fok is a dedicated, kind and helpful tutor who makes learning econs a joy! I remember being one of his first students at the start of j1 and he joked that we’ll all be failing our first CT even with tuition… but thankfully that didn’t happen! As much as Economics can be complicated, confusing and subjective, Mr Fok’s teaching makes it way easier to grasp the important concepts and even remembering the content well! Mr Fok also replies almost instantly to whatever queries I have on WhatsApp which I find really helpful and assuring. Learning aside, I look forward to his weekly stories where he shares about his life experiences and life advice which I find comforting and inspiring, especially in times of a possible mid-life crisis post As!!!”

Megan, (Raffles Institution)

“Firstly and most importantly, the most handsome and skinny econs tutor in the industry. Dr fok helped me tremendously especially when I first joined in J1 when I completely knew nothing about the subject. Lectures in school were proceeding at a rapid pace and without consistent effort from the moment school started, it would be very easy to lag behind. Within 2 months of joining his tuition he summarised and streamlined the process of learning the key concepts of microeconomics via his weekend lessons and also his extra crash courses, which I feel is the most important in J1 as understanding the main concepts is what will stay with u even when u don’t touch the subject for a while. By laying a solid foundation in economics, this eventually this enables students to carry over their prior knowledge to j2, where further refinement of answers will eventually allow you to score the A grade. Overall, Dr fok really made the process of learning econs much faster and less stressful, allowing me to focus more on my weaker subjects and his tuition really gave me a headstart over peers in school.”

Boo Wen Jun (Raffles Institution)

“Dr Fok is a very approachable and dedicated tutor! He always sends extra model essays and case studies to his students to read, and he is always available to answer any question via Whatsapp. His lessons are very engaging as he incorporates difficult economics concepts into real-life examples to allow for easier understanding! :-)”

Jerlynn (Raffles Institution)

“Precise and clear teaching across the different topics that helped me understand economics better after struggling for a year plus. During our three hour sessions, he shares his funny experiences and lifelong lessons that keeps us awake in midst of the content heavy lesson. Knowing the last minute chiongsters like me would panic before exams, the day before the econs paper he slept late and woke early to cater to our last questions. A jolly and genuine teacher would be a fairly vivid description of Dr Fok.”

Shanti (Catholic Junior College)

“Dr Fok’s lessons are always very engaging and his explanations are clear and easy to understand. He also shares with us interesting stories so that the lessons are not draining, especially when there are extra lessons that could go up to 3 hours. There is also sufficient lesson notes provided, as well as other school exam papers. There are also extra notes and papers that are given out of lessons, and he would help us to mark and provide feedback when we submit our work. Dr Fok always replies us very quickly when questions are sent to him, so that our queries are cleared immediately. When further clarification is required, he also provides us with videos that we can watch to revise our concepts.”

Lareen Teo (Eunoia Junior College)

“Lessons are thought in a way which allows us to maximise our grades as Anthony gives us alternate points and evaluation techniques not learnt in school to further augment our answers, through his lessons my grades have jumped from an S to a B after only a few weeks from joining, his super prompt replies to any questions to ensure our doubts are cleared reflects his dedication as a teacher.”

Garet (Anderson Serangoon Junior College)

“Dr fok is a very active teacher. He has a loud and clear voice, is very concise with what he aims to teach, and constantly keeps his students awake and focused with his constant reminds. For those who do not understand the content as much, Dr fok is perfect to help u understand how economics work. Trying to understand econs would have been an absolute pain if not for his teachings. More importantly, econs was not ad dry or boring when Dr Fok taught. The stories he gives are very insightful and worth listening to. Stories are also very good to relieve your stress in between breaks. Thank you Dr Fok for helping me with me econs!”

Ewan Chua (St. Andrew’s Junior College)

“Dr fok is an experienced economics tutor who has helped me understand h2 economics in a short span of time despite my inability to catch up in school. i joined his tuition class in j2 after common tests (i barely passed) and it really benefitted me a great ton. i was soon able to be on par with my peers in terms of understanding and improved by a few grades by the time i sat for my prelims. on top of teaching, Dr fok also entertains his students with stories about his life experience and instils important life lessons in them. I have personally gotten more motivated and inspired after hearing his stories and am greatly appreciative of him as my tutor.”

Phyllis Tan Shu Rong (Jurong Pioneer Junior College)

“Mr Fok’s lessons are very engaging and interesting. He gives concise and bite-sized key pointers for things to take note of during exams and tests. He is able to convey important content easily that makes it easy to understand and apply thereafter. Mr Fok is also very prompt in his replies regarding whatever questions I have beyond the class time which come as timely assistance to clarify my doubts. He shares important stories about life aside from econs concepts as well which I’ve learned a lot from.”

Chloe (Yishun Innova Junior College)

“When I first joined JC Economics, my economics grade hit rock bottom. I was at the bottom 5% of the cohort and was at a loss on how to proceed with a weak foundation. My friend introduced me to Dr Fok and I can say with certainty that my attitude towards Economics has taken a 180 degree turn! Dr Fok makes lessons enjoyable by making the abstract concepts easily digestible and repeating it to make sure we truly internalise and understand the concepts taught. Dr Fok also places high emphasis on holistic education and development by sharing his life stories and experiences to motivate us and give us the silver lining of hope in our lives. His stories have helped me overcome my personal struggles in life and allowed me to see that life is beyond just economics. I thoroughly enjoy and always look forward to weekly Saturday classes with Dr Fok as I know it will always be a fruitful and productive session as I finally am able to grasp economics concepts that once proved to be challenging to me. Thank you Dr Fok for opening my eyes to the wonderful world of economics and imparting valuable life lessons to me!”

Rena Kek (Catholic Junior College)

“Dr Fok is extremely dedicated and though I didn’t join Econs tuition for long, I tremendously improved after joining. I think his teaching style is very suitable for me because I’m the kind of student that needs things to be broken down into the very very basics in order to understand simply, instead of learning all the ‘chim’ stuff and all the weird Econs jargon that schools tend to use. Dr Fok also repeats the crucial points at least 30 times over and over again so it really gets drilled into your head so in the exam you can literally hear him screaming “EH LISTEN stop dreaming I repeat again! eh seriously listen i repeat one more time ah listen ah people tuition expensive one don’t waste your parents’ money la!” I repeat AGAAAAAINNNN ah!” How not to remember the points after that right HAHA 🙂 Lessons are also very light-hearted and comical and Dr Fok always tells stories and his lame jokes (LOL) so it’s never a chore to attend lessons!”

Tasha Ting (Raffles Institution)

“Dr Fok is someone that really goes the extra mile for his students. Although he has many of students, he ensures that all are well taken care of and all are given the ‘A grade’ weapons. He is also one that throws in life lessons into the mix, which given his expertise and career experience, is something that I will carry with me for a very long time. Dr Fok also encourages us to dig deeper and motivates us whenever he can so as to do well for our examinations and gives great advice for the steps ahead, especially leading into an examination. Thank you Dr Fok for making Economics such an enjoyable subject to learn!”

Matthias Lee (Anderson Serangoon Junior College)

“Honestly i enjoyed your lessons mr fok, you managed to give us day to day examples/stories that made concepts alot easier to understand and I enjoyed learning econs under you for the past 2 years. i think your lessons are very captivating and you’re the kind of teacher who are more down to earth and easier to relate to HAHA thank you for your guidance and hope u continue to inspire more students just like you have for me.”

Charmaine (Yishun Innova Junior College)

“Dr Fok’s lesson is very interesting and he makes econs much easier to understand. In the past I was consistently last few in class with S and E grades. However, after attending his lessons, I can safely say that I improved alot and got B by mid year. I really enjoy econs and its one of my best subjects now. Additionally, Dr Fok has very concise notes and make it easy to revise for economics. I strongly recommend going to his tuition as it has helped me by leaps and bounds :P”
