The Economics Tutor

The Principal Economics Tutor is Mr. Edmund Quek who is a highly experienced and well sought after economics tutor in Singapore. Mr. Edmund Quek holds a Master’s Degree (MSSc) in Economics from the National University of Singapore (NUS) where he graduated as one of the top students in the cohort with a CAP of close to 4.5. He obtained a distinction in virtually all the modules which include Microeconomic Theory, Macroeconomic Theory, Mathematical Economics, Growth Theory, Corporate Finance and Industrial Organisation. He also obtained a distinction in Advanced Macroeconomic Theory (EC6102) and Advanced Microeconomic Theory (EC6101) at the Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) level. Mr. Edmund Quek has received the Certificate for Teachers Training, the Certificate for Lesson Management with Maximum Impact and the Certificate for Successful Mentoring for Teachers. These achievements make him the most highly qualified economics tutor in Singapore. However, it is not these achievements that make him a good economics tutor, but his strong and unwavering passion for imparting knowledge to students, and his ability to break down complex economic theories and concepts into easily comprehensible common-sense ideas. One may read the plethora of testimonials from his former students to learn more about these attributes. Over the last two decades, Mr. Edmund Quek has taught over 3000 students, including the current batch of students. Nearly every year, he helps over 75 per cent of the students in his economics tuition classes obtain a distinction in the Singapore-Cambridge GCE ‘A’ Level Economics examination, with most of the remaining students scoring a B. Under his tutelage, many students saw their grades improve from a U to an A. In some years, the distinction rate hit as high as 90 per cent. Mr. Edmund Quek is a member of the Economic Society of Singapore.

Mr. Edmund Quek is the author of several economics books which include Economics - A Singapore Perspective (Economics Cafe), 'A' Level Microeconomics Model Essays (Economics Cafe), 'A' Level Macroeconomics Model Essays (Economics Cafe) and 'A' Level Economics Model Essays (Pearson Longman). These economics books are recommended readings in many junior colleges and JC economics tuition centres in Singapore. 'A' Level Microeconomics Model Essays (Economics Cafe) and 'A' Level Macroeconomics Model Essays (Economics Cafe) are best-selling economics essay books with the highest sales volume in Singapore where over 26000 copies have been sold. They are by far the best economics essay books used by the largest number of students in Singapore. Economics - A Singapore Perspective (Economics Cafe) is a best-selling economics textbook with the highest sales volume in Singapore where over 12000 copies have been sold. It is the only recommended economics textbook written by a local author and is used by the largest number of students across the different junior colleges in Singapore. As a small contribution to society, Mr. Edmund Quek provides economics lecture notes to students in the hope that the lecture notes will make learning economics easy and interesting which is likely to translate into a good grade in the Singapore-Cambridge GCE ‘A’ Level Economics examination. Since the publication of these lecture notes, thousands of economics students and economics tutors have benefited from them. Many people find it baffling that Mr. Edmund Quek makes his economics lecture notes available to everyone. The reason could not be simpler. It is a blessing to give back to society even in small ways such as sharing learning resources which will contribute to the betterment of future generations. In 2013, Mr. Edmund Quek was invited by MediaCorp to an interview on Economics Lecture Notes. In 2022, he was invited by South China Morning Post to an interview on the Singapore National Day Report.

Why Should You Take Economics Tuition At Economics Cafe?

Economics Cafe has helped thousands of students achieve a distinction in the Singapore-Cambridge GCE ‘A’ Economics examination. Under the guidance of the Principal Economics Tutor, Mr. Edmund Quek, many of the students at Economics Cafe have gone on to pursue studies at some of the most prestigious universities in the world. Economics Cafe is the ONLY economics tuition centre in Singapore that has published best-selling economics books which are recommended readings in many junior colleges and economics tuition centres. These economics books include Economics – A Singapore Perspective and JC Economics Model Essays which are available in all the major bookstores in Singapore. Economics Cafe provides both online econs tuition and physical classroom econs tuition in Bishan (Central). Many students are unable to apply the economic concepts that they think they understand, which is a problem that many parents describe to us when they call to make enquiry about our Principal Economics Tutor and econs tuition classes. The true reason why many students are unable to apply economic concepts is that they have not achieved a sufficient level of understanding of the concepts. Understanding is not a question of absence or presence. Rather, it is a question of level. A superficial understanding of economic concepts, such as the ways in which they are explained in lecture notes, is insufficient to enable students to apply the concepts. Through breaking down seemingly complex economic issues and events and economics examination questions into their component parts in his econs tuition classes, Mr. Edmund Quek enhances the students’ understanding of economic concepts which will enable them to apply the concepts in the examination. To put it somewhat differently, using economic issues and events and economics examination questions as teaching tools, Mr. Edmund Quek teaches both theories and applications simultaneously in his econs tuition classes.

Economics Tutor Testimonials

Students who wish to take econs tuition from Mr. Edmund Quek at Economics Cafe should read the testimonials from his former students to learn more about the strengths of his teaching which will provide them an idea of what to expect when they join his econs tuition class.

Although I had attended only a few lessons of econs tuition with Mr. Edmund Quek before the preliminary economics examination, my percentile improved from 30 to 96. Frankly, it took me some time to believe the dramatic improvement in my grade for the subject which could be attributed to Mr. Edmund Quek's ingenuity in imparting the knowledge of economics and the analytical skills to us. Mr. Edmund Quek is truly a godsend and I am grateful that I found such a great econs tutor who was able to thoroughly address every single doubt that I had and help me structure my thoughts in a way that would not have been possible without. I will always remember the short but fulfilling time that I had with Mr. Edmund Quek. I have come to love economics so much and have become very interested in the subject recently. I am very grateful to Mr. Edmund Quek. I hope that he will continue to inspire future batches of students in his econs tuition classes in Singapore the way he awed me and the other students in my batch.

Wealth Management

Apart from excelling in the Singapore-Cambridge GCE ‘A’ Level Economics examination, Mr. Edmund Quek also teaches students in his econs tuition classes how to apply the economic concepts which they have learnt to increase their future wealth. Good wealth management is essential for increasing the standards of living of future generations. In the 2008-2009 Global Financial Crisis caused by the Subprime Mortgage Crisis which occurred in the United States, through the use of fundamental economic concepts such as the business cycle, fiscal policy, monetary policy, international trade and the exchange rate, coupled with general knowledge about the world economy, he more than doubled his wealth in a short span of a year and a half. This is a feat which not many fund managers have been able to achieve.

Mr. Edmund Quek believes that it is important for an econs tutor to expose students to the bewildering array of financial investments that exist today, both high-risk and low-risk, such as stocks, bonds and foreign exchange, and then cultivate the right values in them. With the widespread of internet, keeping these young people ignorant of risky financial investments is no longer wise and feasible. Instead, they should be given proper guidance on financial investment to enable them to develop the right mindset. This will not only allow them to avoid massive financial losses to unfavourable economic conditions in the future, it will also enable them to create wealth with wealth. With greater wealth, they will be able to make greater contributions to society such as helping the needy financially. Students who take econs tuition in Singapore at Economics Cafe will be taught the right values and mindset towards financial investment.
