I joined Mr. Kelvin Hong's IB Economics class and the vast improvement in my grades speaks volumes about Mr. Hong's skills. He helped me achieve a 7 (top score) for my IB exam. Mr Hong is a patient teacher who took time to explain those baffling economics theories...His notes and essay spotting skills saved me numerous times...I really enjoyed the lessons...and the classes help me save precious time!...I do advise: Join early and work hard. You can achieve that 7 too!"

I initially doubted that anything could help to improve my economics…I was proven wrong…I found myself eager for more. I could not bear to miss even one lesson…His constructive feedback and concise teachings made me understand economics and its mechanisms almost instantaneously…Results also show themselves quickly. My grade jumped from U to B immediately in the next test. I am proud to say I achieved a stellar grade of A for GCE ‘A’ Levels Economics of which I once never dared to dream. I strongly recommend his lessons but I have to admit one has to work hard and practice to utilise his teachings effectively. Thank you Mr Hong for being my best Economics teacher!”
