Mr. Koh Chee Wee
JC Economics Tutor, Learners’ Lodge
Mr Koh Chee Wee graduated from the National University of Singapore (NUS) with a Bachelor of Social Sciences (Economics) with Second Class Honours (Upper Division). His passion for teaching was ignited by his Junior College teacher who always went the extra mile to make classes interesting and engaging. It left a significant impact on Mr Koh who firmly believes that a classroom is not only where teaching takes place but more importantly students’ learning is the top priority.
This experience had a strong influence in shaping Mr Koh’s career choice. He decided to become a teacher during his junior college days to make a difference in the lives of students. Mr Koh firmly believes the important role a teacher plays in his students’ lives. This role goes beyond delivery of content; it is about educating the whole individual. Mr Koh’s own experience during his student days as well as his teaching stint in local schools has allowed him to understand the challenges that students face in Singapore’s junior college system and relate to their emotional needs. It has given him a competitive edge in motivating his students to strive for the best in their studies as well as personal life.
Upon graduation from NUS, Mr Koh joined Anglo-Chinese Junior College (ACJC) as a contract teacher for a year before going to National Institute of Education (NIE) for his teacher’s training. Even as a new untrained teacher, he received positive feedback about his patient teaching style that not only enhance understanding but also creates a secure environment where his students are open and forthcoming with questions.
After graduating from NIE with a Diploma in Education (Merit), Mr Koh joined Dunman High School (DHS) where he was instrumental in developing the instructional programme for the Economics unit at the newly established Senior High section. He was appointed as the coordinator for the Year 5 Economics team to oversee the teaching and learning of Economics after being in the service for just one and a half years. In 2011, he was also appointed as the Cooperating Teacher to provide guidance and supervision for 2 NIE trainee teachers doing their practicum in DHS.
Mr Koh is an avid user of ICT in his teaching to enhance students’ learning. In his first year of teaching at DHS, Mr Koh was awarded the Most Innovative Teaching Award which recognised his effort in coming up with innovative teaching methods to enrich his students’ learning experience.
Since 2011, Mr Koh has joined Learners’ Lodge Education Centre as a full-time staff, serving as Education Specialist, teaching Economics classes at both JC 1 and JC 2 levels.

The Economics tutor in Learners’ Lodge is very knowledgeable about various economic concepts, even those that extend beyond the H2 economics syllabus. This has enabled me to further my understanding and connect the dots better during lessons, allowing me to have an elusive edge over others. He is consistent in clarifying any doubts that I have during the course of my JC journey and his timely response to my questions has been immensely helpful especially during crucial examination periods. I would like to thank him for being such an inspiring and encouraging economics tutor.

H2 Economics was always a hard subject for me to get used to, and there were so many times where I felt like giving up completely. But thanks to the unending patience of the Learners’ Lodge tutor with a student like me, I felt so much more at ease whenever I revised, knowing that I had a supportive tutor on my side. My C grade might not mean much compared to most of your students, but to me who kept getting S and U grades, and considered dropping to H1 but had pressed on with your determination — that grade, and your support, mean more than I can say.

I would like to thank the Economics Tutor from Learners’ Lodge for his constant guidance all the way from the start of my Economics journey as a clueless J1 student. From day 1, his explanations and notes have always been clear and concise. With plenty of model essays and notes, the plentiful resources available ensures that each student will be able to perform to his or her fullest potential. He also never fails to answer my queries quickly during exam periods, and give encouraging messages. He definitely played a vital role in my securing an A for my Economics in the A Levels.
