Supporting Economics Tuition Infrastructure
As a JC Economics Tutor, Mr Koh believes in the use of complementary infrastructure to support his classroom teaching. Students are also welcome to check out his social media pages (Tiktok, Instagram) or subscribe to his Youtube channel for more explanatory videos tackling common questions faced by JC Economics students.
Most educators in Economics agree that Cambridge had in recent years shifted its approach towards assessing students on their critical thinking and higher-order analytical skills. This has important implications for the way students approach essay and case study questions.
Across JC Economics tutor Mr Koh’s teaching resources, important memory skills are taught to help students remember the key concepts contained within the syllabus. Students are also equipped with problem-solving skills to help them tackle typical examination questions and challenging higher-level thinking questions.
