Ms Kellie Tan graduated from the National University of Singapore with a Bachelor of Arts degree with Second Upper Honours. She was a recipient of the MOE Teaching Award and went on to obtain a post graduate diploma in education from NIE.

Upon graduation, Ms Tan embarked on her teaching career as an A level economics tutor and Project Work tutor in Victoria Junior College, her alma mater. As the teacher in charge of the VJC Choir, she helped organise various overseas trips and was instrumental in the
choir’s winning of top prizes in competitions. After five years in VJC, she subsequently
broadened her experience by teaching in Raffles Institution and Hwa Chong Institution. As
such, her time in top junior colleges spanned a decade. Thus, Ms Tan is very well versed in requirements of the A level Economics syllabus and is adept at teaching concepts and imparting important examination skills. As a Civics Tutor in the junior colleges she worked in, she also built rapport with her students by monitoring their progress and motivating them.

Beyond helping her students to ace the examinations, she also seeks to nurture in them a
lifelong interest in the subject and the ability to apply of theoretical knowledge to current, real world situations. As such, she always gives real life examples in her teaching of Economics and encourages her students to gain knowledge of current situations, in the hope that her students learn beyond the confines of the classroom.

She is also a patient and devoted teacher, who always takes the time to answer every student’s questions and aids them tirelessly in their pursuit of knowledge.
