About Me
Imparting Knowledge – Sharing Insights – Inspiring Curiosity
Shaping Human Capital By Changing The Way They See The World
I am an experienced lecturer in economics, data science and data analytics. I bring together close to 30 years of working experience in many establishments, including universities, startups, and government bodies.
Prior to devoting full time into lecturing, I was with the Singapore civil service working on economic research and other policy initiatives. Collectively, I have acquired unique perspectives of the real-world challenges that corporates and individuals faced, including the limitations and trade-offs of government policies. As a trainer, I deliver economic and analytic courses that focuses on business insights and macroeconomic trend analysis, and incorporates real-world perspectives as case studies. In turn this helps learners better understand and apply acquired learnings into practice.
Aside from economics, I also conduct add-on workshops in data analytics and data science. This special blend of economic-analytics cocktail can help learners to future-proof their skillsets in this fast evolving era, and it will also equip them with the essential competencies to analyse real world data and economic events. Taken together, these skillsets will enable learners to better see and appreciate the world with new ‘economics’ lens. In the process, this can help them to make more informed decisions incorporating multiple perspectives and trade-offs. Overtime, they will also find themselves becoming more confident and more able to take initiative for their own learning. Slowly but surely, learners will build up their awareness and understanding on economics and be able to see its intricate connections to many real world problems. To this end, I hope that learners will also eventually grow to become more resourceful and civic-conscious, and work hard to improve not only their own lives, but also those of others around them.
Besides Economics-Tution.sg, I also have active teaching engagements with Singapore Polytechnic (SP), Singapore University of Social Sciences (SUSS), Singapore Business Federation (SBF) and others. I was a former Economics Lecturer with the Singapore Manufacturer Federation (SMF) Academy where I taught Principles of Economics Module in the Diploma in Business Administration. I have acquired WSQ Advanced Certificate in Training and Assessment (ACTA) that specializes in conducting courses for continuing professional development.
I graduated with a Master Degree in Applied Economics from the National University of Singapore, with a distinguished CAP score of 4.6 out of a maximum score of 5. In addition, I also scored distinctions in both Microeconomics and Macroeconomics in my BSc in Economics from the University of London, and I was also awarded a book prize for outstanding academic achievements.
My name is Andy Tai, and I’ll be your Economics Tutor. I am here not only to help you get that distinction in your Economics; I am here to equip you with the skillsets to create a better tomorrow.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. Why am I struggling with economics?
There could be various reasons why you may be struggling with economics. Here are a few possible explanations:
Lack of Interest: It may be tough to become motivated to study and completely engage in the material if you are not interested in economics.
Lack of comprehension: Economics may be a challenging subject that calls for a solid grasp of many different ideas and concepts. It may be challenging to understand more complex issues if you have not thoroughly mastered the fundamental ideas.
Difficulty in Application: Applying theoretical notions to actual circumstances can be difficult because economics also requires a lot of arithmetic and critical thinking. It may be difficult to properly understand the principles as a result.
Ineffective Study Techniques and Insufficient Study Time: Students may struggle with economics if they are using ineffective study techniques or not dedicating enough time to studying. For example, if you spend hours passively reading a textbook without actively engaging with the material or testing your understanding, it may be challenging to retain the information. Additionally, students may not be spending enough time studying economics. Economics can be a complex subject that requires a significant amount of time and effort to understand fully.
Inappropriate Instruction: Sometimes, the quality of instruction can play a significant role in your struggles. This can include unclear explanations, inadequate examples, or differences in teaching style that do not align with your learning preferences. It may be tough to completely connect with the topic if your teacher’s training method does not resonate with you. In such cases, consider seeking additional help from private tutors or reviewing the material on your own to supplement your learning.
Large group environment: Some students struggle to concentrate and learn in a classroom with many students. It might be difficult to ask questions or participate in conversations when they are distracted by other pupils or external influences. Smaller study groups or one-on-one coaching may be more beneficial in such instances.
It’s essential to identify the cause of your struggles with economics so that you can take appropriate steps to address them. Consider talking to your teacher, or seeking additional help from private tutors. With effort and dedication, you can overcome your difficulties and gain a better understanding of economics.

3. What are the key differences between H1 Economics and H2 Economics?
H1 Economics introduces fundamental micro and macroeconomic concepts, but H2 Economics is more advanced and covers a broader variety of subjects including: factor immobility, information failures, market dominance, firms and decisions, and international trade. H2 Economics is more challenging, demanding higher-level analytical and critical thinking skills, and is appropriate for students interested in pursuing higher education or jobs in economics or similar subjects. H1 Economics is more suitable for students who have a general interest in economics or want to gain a basic understanding of economic concepts.
