Our Economics Teacher
About Anthony Fok
Holding multiple degrees, Mr Anthony Fok was a former MOE teacher. It was a job he enjoyed, but he wanted more out of being an educator. He wanted to reach out to more students, to craft his own programmes and have more independence. He started JC Economics Education Centre in the hopes that it can help him and his students achieve more, and it has.
Pragmatically speaking, Mr Anthony Fok is whatever one so desires in a tutor. He knows the Economic syllabus inside out, understands what Cambridge expects from students and is able to help his students do the same through his down-to-earth explanations. The learning resources he personally compiled are valuable to his students who find them easy to understand, comprehend and utilise.
Beyond all of these, Mr Fok is also humourous, caring and dedicated. His Economics lessons are never monotonous or dull. He keeps his students interested by sharing anecdotes from time to time, Economics-related of course. He is generous with his time, helping his students even after tuition hours so that they know that someone is always there for him. All of these make him a well-loved, popular tutor amongst his students, almost like a friend.
Mr Anthony Fok considers himself a educator first and foremost. He truly believes that every child has the potential to do well, and puts his heart and soul into helping them to do so.
