FAQ

Are there other surcharges/fees at the point of registration?

A one-time, non-refundable materials fee of S$120 is collected upon enrolment. This fee covers a comprehensive set of professionally curated learning materials that the student will use throughout the entire year.

These are not generic notes. Our materials are:

  • Carefully developed and refined over many years based on actual A-Level examination trends

  • Structured for clarity, helping students break down complex Economic concepts into manageable frameworks

  • Exam-focused, with model answers, essay structures, and case study techniques that directly address what examiners are looking for

  • Continuously updated, incorporating common student mistakes and proven strategies that have helped more than 50% of our students score an A and over 85% score A or B

Parents can be assured that this one-time fee provides far more value than ad-hoc worksheets or last-minute revision materials. It ensures that students have a complete, organised, and reliable set of resources to support their learning from the first lesson right through to the A-Level examinations.

Many parents have shared that these materials become their child’s primary revision resource, saving time, reducing confusion, and eliminating the need to purchase multiple guidebooks or additional reference materials.

When and how are fees collected?

First month’s course fee will be collected when the student enrols for lessons. Fees for subsequent months will be collected during the first lesson of each month. Payment of all fees is strictly by Paynow to UEN: 201431776E.

What is the difference between H1 Economics and H2 Economics?

At Dr. Anthony Fok’s tuition centre, H1 and H2 students are placed in the same core classes, allowing for a collaborative and structured learning environment. To meet the extended requirements of the H2 syllabus, H2 students attend additional paid lessons in March, June, November, and December. These sessions cover advanced topics such as Market Structure, Cross Elasticity of Demand, Income Elasticity of Demand, International Trade, Moral Hazard, Asymmetric Information, and Cost of Production.

Assessment requirements differ by level: H1 students complete 2 Case Studies, while H2 students tackle 3 out of 6 essay questions plus 2 Case Studies. This structured approach ensures all students gain the right skills and knowledge to excel in their A-Level Economics examinations, while giving H2 students the additional depth and practice needed for top results.

Can a student join anytime?

Students are welcome to join at any time, subject to seat availability, with fees pro-rated accordingly. However, seats fill up quickly, especially as examinations approach, due to high demand for Dr. Anthony Fok’s H1 and H2 Economics tuition. It is strongly recommended that students enrol early to ensure a comfortable and uninterrupted learning experience, allowing ample time to grasp concepts, master exam techniques, and achieve top A-Level results.

What should a student do if he or she misses a lesson?

If a student is unable to attend a scheduled lesson due to school, CCA commitments, or illness, they may arrange for a make-up class within the same week, subject to availability. While fees are not refunded or pro-rated, this ensures that students do not fall behind and continue to benefit from Dr. Anthony Fok’s structured, exam-focused tuition. Additionally, students have access to video lesson explainers to review content and reinforce learning at their own pace.

How are students’ progress tracked?

The pace of learning naturally varies among students. Dr. Anthony Fok encourages students to take the initiative in seeking additional guidance if they encounter difficulties. To ensure every student keeps up, he routinely checks understanding of key concepts and provides targeted reinforcement for areas of weakness. This approach ensures that students gradually build mastery, strengthen exam techniques, and confidently achieve top results in H1 and H2 Economics.

Do lessons follow the MOE syllabus?

Dr. Anthony Fok’s lessons are carefully structured to complement school curricula and the Singapore-Cambridge A-Level syllabus. Every topic covered is directly relevant to the examinations, ensuring that students learn content and skills that can be immediately applied in school tests and national exams. This approach maximises efficiency, reinforces understanding, and prepares students to excel in H1 and H2 Economics.

My child is not from a “top JC”. Can they still do well here?
