The Challenge of Mastering JC Economics
Economics is one of the most skill-based subjects in
the A-Level curriculum. It trains students to think
critically, analyse policies, and understand real-world
trade-offs.
Yet many JC students find it challenging because they:
- Memorise definitions without understanding the underlying concepts
- Struggle to apply theory to case-study questions
- Write essays without clear economic structure or evaluation
At That Econs Tutor, we show students how to do more with less. By distilling the syllabus into key examinable themes, we help them see the big picture early, focus their revision, and enter exams with clarity and confidence.
How We Help Students Overcome These Econs Challenges
Our lessons transform memorisation into mastery through clarity, structure, and application.
Complex concepts → Simplified Frameworks
We break down abstract theories into clear, visual models that make sense.
Passive Learning → Active Engagement
Students discuss, analyse, and connect theory to real-world issues.
Unstructured Answers → Strategic Writing
Through guided practice and feedback, essays become logical, focused, and examiner-ready.
Our Signature Method — The Parachute Concept Approach
Every lesson at That Econ Tutor is guided by our proprietary Parachute Concept Approach.
Just like viewing the landscape before landing, this top-down method helps students see how every topic connects — from micro to macro — before diving into details.
Students learn to recognise question patterns, use proven frameworks, and write L3-standard answers confidently under time pressure.
How the Parachute Concept Works
Economics is one of the most skill-based subjects in the A-Level curriculum. It trains students to think critically, analyse policies, and understand real-world trade-offs.
Interactive Economics Lessons

Personalised Learning Plans

| Sat (9am - 1pm) | Sun (9am - 1pm) |
|---|---|
1) 6 June - Demand & Supply (Resource Allocation in Competitive Markets)Key answering techniques relating to questions on “Impact of Events on a Market” (tested most regularly in past 20 years’ A Level examinations) and government intervention will be covered. Students can expect application skills to be significantly strengthened after going through TET’s essay frameworks, which include writing to score L3 and a standard framework to score evaluation credit for DDSS essays. |
2) 7 Jun - Key Economic Indicators and How the Macroeconomy WorksStudents will learn Mr Koh’s intuitive Parachute Concept framework – the DIRCO approach that equips students with 14 points to scoring in questions on living standards (popular exam topic). Given that many case studies present macro data on an economy’s performance, CSQ skills specific to this topic will be imparted. Effective writing structures for questions involving multiplier, Sustainable and Inclusive Growth and the Circular Flow of Income will also be imparted. |
3) 13 Jun- Market FailureTraditionally seen as one of the more straightforward topics in content, but L3 skills need to be honed to achieve high scoring answers. On top of learning TET’s Parachute Concept structures, students will gain exposure to scoring in Balance, Content and Context and evaluation templates to power up their market failure essays. Such skills will carry forward into other topics to help students score. Challenging diagrams e.g. impact of policies such as regulation, education, tradable permits, technology will also be covered in a comprehensive manner. |
4) 14 Jun - Firms and How They OperateArguably the hardest topic to grasp in the entire syllabus, our lessons will help students to pick out key themes in the chapter and predict exam questions through a Features, Behaviour and Performance perspective. A framework will be shared to help students understand possible shifts in firm diagrams in one view. Key essay structures from TET’s Parachute Concepts will be imparted. Dynamic question types such as “Firm Strategies” and Evaluation of Firm Performance will be shared. After the class, students will gain clarity and confidence in answering questions using rehearsed structures from this topic. |
5) 20 Jun - Macroeconomic Aims and IssuesThe largest topic in the two-year syllabus, this topic cuts across themes such as Causes, Consequences, Cures, as well as Conflicts between goals. Students will be provided with a list of powerful writing structures from TET’s Parachute Concepts which can help them score through writing succinct but L3-ready answers, with the added ability to identify the concept that a question is testing. Time management is important here, so the ability to know how to start and end an essay will be emphasised. |
6) 21 Jun - International EconomicsUnlike the preceding topic on Macroeconomic Aims and Issues, this topic does not leverage on existing knowledge, but instead requires students to acquire a separate set of analytical skills. From explaining the Theory of Comparative Advantage using TET’s A2O framework to evaluating arguments for/against protectionism and globalisation, students can gain confidence in tackling this unique topic using TET’s Parachute Concept approach. Given the likelihood of concepts from this chapter being blended with other topics, this final chapter should not be underestimated. |
7) 27 Jun - Paper 1 Essential Skills |
8) 28 Jun - Paper 2 Essential Skills |
|
From TET’s SALTBAE framework to help students score in trend analysis questions ranging from trend summary and comparison to analysing balance accounts and growth rates, to learning a highly effective approach to “Annotations” to help students analysis case study questions with ease, Mr Koh will be sharing his experience from penning 20 years’ worth of TYS answers. The session aims to help students achieve consistency in scoring for their case study paper. We will run through various sample papers to help students hone their answering techniques and develop conviction in the use of our frameworks. |
Doing well in an essay paper involves the right strategy – from picking the right questions through matching them to TET’s L3 and Eval framework to knowing exactly where to start and end an essay (critical skill for time management). We will be running through most frequently tested questions from each topic and effective essay structures. These include how to tackle questions relating to the “Impact of Event on Different outcomes” and “Policy Evaluation” to help students gain confidence in tackle Paper 2 questions. |
