KiNG Economics — Kirby Ng | Economics Tutor, Singapore

Thank you for stopping by — welcome to my page.

I'm Kirby Ng — an Economics tutor in Singapore, teaching IGCSE, IB and A-Level.

Kirby Ng — KiNG Economics

The name is a nod to my initials — but it's also the standard I hold every lesson to.

"I train students to master the subject with confidence, so they always feel in control."

My aim is for every student to walk into the exam hall able to meet the paper with absolute authority — certain that nothing on it can catch them off guard.

Why I teach the way I do

I got into tutoring Economics because I remembered how scared and hopeless I felt as a student. I know how students can recite theory perfectly and still lose marks — not knowing where or how it went wrong, because nobody showed them how to structure their thinking, deploy evaluation, and write answers the way examiners reward.

That's what I spend every lesson addressing. My lessons are built around one outcome: a student who understands the subject well enough to perform under pressure.

KiNG Econs Isn't a Brand or Centre

It's my initials, not a brand or a centre. Just a page to point you towards where I actually teach.

These days you'll find me teaching at two different centres, across two different syllabuses, rather than under my own name alone. I've been fortunate to work alongside great colleagues at great centres — and if I'm honest, I prefer it this way. It means less logistics and admin to handle, and more of my attention on the actual teaching.

For IGCSE and IB, I teach at KS Academia Prep.
For A-Level H1 and H2 Economics, at Higher Nucleus.

Beyond the classroom

Outside of tutoring, you'll usually find me coaching Slowpitch softball at NUS on a pro-bono basis, or being baited by any marketing gimmick involving Pokémon.

I've been a sports coach since my college days at NUS, and though I didn't continue down that path, it left me confident in one thing: keeping a classroom lively and engaging.

That said, I'm well aware of what parents ultimately hire me for. A lively classroom keeps students engaged week to week — but engagement is only the start. The grade comes from disciplined structure, honest feedback, and exam technique that holds up under pressure, and that's what I hold myself accountable for.

Curious about me beyond the classroom? I keep a personal blog.

What students say

From private candidates, JC students and international-school families.

★★★★★

"Mr Ng was nice enough to take me as a student pro bono. I was struggling in school due to family problems and had to take my A Levels as a private candidate. Being without a school, I wasn't doing well in Econs. Most of our lessons were online, but to my surprise they were really helpful because of his lesson notes and structure. Eventually I made it into university through his help, and I'm very thankful — I don't think it would have been possible without him."

"Hands down, no glaze — he is the best private tutor I have ever had. He has printed, collated notes and practice papers that summarise the chapters so efficiently."

"Pretty good explanations. He asked a lot of questions, which was helpful because it made me come up with answers on the spot. Very engaging lessons."

"Lessons were structured and easy to understand. There's plenty of time for application and 'trying answers' — exactly what I needed to build confidence before the exam."

"I like the content mind-maps — Mr Kirby is very open to questions and attentive. Going through question types was especially helpful. I finally understood what each Market Failure essay actually requires."

★★★★★

"He's very patient. I like how he marks our work and keeps checking in on people. I joined mainly to understand answering techniques, and took away key ideas and a solid recap of the important concepts."
