H1 Economics is not a smaller H2. It is its own paper, with its own syllabus and its own traps, and most centres simply seat H1 students in an H2 class. ETG built a curriculum exclusively for H1: H1-only classes on the weeks that matter, an exclusive H1 workbook, and the H1 TYS crashcourse included, all taught by the author of the H1 TYS answer keys. You attend only what H1 needs, and nothing you do not.

U to B in H1

"I joined ETG in the middle of my A level year with a borderline U grade in H1 Economics. With only a few months of one class a week and following their homework, my grade increased to a B. If I had joined earlier I would have gotten an A."

Ian Chua · Google review, RI

H1 B

"Mr Toh is a great tutor who helped me get a B for my A level H1 economics. Our batch was affected by the pandemic, and despite that he did his best to teach us and went the extra mile."

Branson Ho · Google review

B via the LMS

"I got a B without even attending a single physical class in 2020, purely by using the LMS."

Never passed, then scored

"I had never passed Economics throughout the whole of J1. After attending lessons with Mr Toh, I scored well during A levels too."

The H1 reality

H1 changed. Most tuition did not.

H1 Economics has been revised twice, and understanding what changed is the whole game. A generic H2 class does not teach to the H1 paper you will actually sit.

2017 revision, first tested 2018

The big reshape

Essays removed as a separate component
Case study weighting raised from 30 to 45 marks each
Trade and globalisation removed from the syllabus
Decision making framework, inclusive and sustainable growth added

2023 revision, current format

The latest update

Case study marks adjusted from 45 to 40 each
Total paper time unchanged
The paper is now entirely case study based
Higher order parts carry the weight

The misconception that costs H1 students grades

Because essays were removed, many H1 students assume essay writing no longer matters. This is wrong. Essay writing skills are still heavily tested in the higher order case study parts worth 8 to 12 marks, and as case studies grew, those parts grew with them. Writing a clear, coherent, well structured argument is exactly what separates a B from an A in H1, and it is exactly what a generic H2 class will not drill for the H1 paper.

Our H1 solution

A curriculum designed exclusively for H1.

Most centres do not run H1 exclusive classes, so H1 students sit in an H2 room and absorb content they will never be tested on. Mr Eugene Toh redesigned the ETG programme specifically for H1, around the three things the H1 paper actually rewards.

Essay writing skills

The structured argument and evaluation needed for the higher order case study parts worth 8 to 12 marks, where the grade is decided.

Real world application

Content taught so you can analyse real economic affairs and the case material, not just recite theory.

Sufficient drilling

Enough focused practice on the 40 mark case study questions that the format becomes second nature under time pressure.

How our H1 classes work

Attend only what H1 needs.

Our curriculum is mapped precisely. We mark out the content that is exclusive to H2 students, so as an H1 student you do not sit through topics you will never be examined on, such as the H2 only material.

On the weeks where the content is H1 relevant, you attend the mainstream lesson. On the weeks where the content is H1 only, you attend a dedicated H1 exclusive class. You also get access to exclusive H1 content only classes on the LMS and the exclusive ETG H1 workbook, written for the current H1 syllabus. The result is an H1 programme that is efficient with your time, which matters when Economics is your contrasting subject.

Author of the H1 & H2 TYS answer keys

Why learn H1 here

Learn H1 from the person who wrote the H1 answer key.

Mr Eugene Toh, ETG's founder and lead economics tutor, wrote the H1 and H2 Economics TYS answer keys published by SAP and sold at Popular, and the 50 Model Essays series published by Shing Lee. He holds a B.A. in Economics from NUS and an M.Sc. in Applied Economics from SMU.

So the person who modelled the published H1 answers is the one who designed your H1 programme, wrote your H1 workbook, and benchmarks your marking. The materials are revised every term against the current H1 syllabus, so your practice matches the paper you will sit, not the one from before the revisions.

H1 economics, answered

The questions H1 students ask.

H1 Economics tuition is specialist help for the H1 A Level Economics syllabus, which is examined through a single case study based paper. At ETG it means a curriculum built exclusively for H1: H1 only classes on the weeks that matter, an exclusive H1 workbook, the H1 TYS crashcourse included, and weekly marked practice, taught by the author of the H1 TYS answer keys.

H2 is the full subject, examined in two papers, the essays and the case studies, and is taken as a content subject. H1 is a contrasting subject examined through case studies only, with a narrower syllabus. Crucially, H1 is not just a smaller H2, it has its own content and its own paper, which is why a dedicated H1 programme matters.

Yes, more than students think. The H1 paper removed essays as a separate component, but essay writing skills are still heavily tested in the higher order case study parts worth 8 to 12 marks, and those parts have grown as case studies expanded. A clear, well structured, evaluated argument is exactly what moves an H1 grade from a B to an A.

H1 Economics is now entirely case study based. After the 2017 revision the case study weighting rose, and the 2023 revision set each case study at 40 marks with the total paper time unchanged. The higher order parts of each case study carry the marks that decide your grade, which is what we drill.

Yes. Most centres seat H1 students in an H2 class. We map the curriculum so H1 students skip the H2 only content and attend dedicated H1 exclusive classes on H1 only weeks, with exclusive H1 content only lessons on the LMS and an exclusive H1 workbook. You attend only what H1 needs.

Yes. For regular programme students, our one day H1 Ten Year Series crashcourse, which walks through 10 real A Level case studies from 2019 to 2023 and normally costs 500 dollars, is included as part of your lessons rather than a separate purchase.

H1 is charged at the same per lesson rate as H2, about 115 dollars for JC2 and 105 for JC1, with Live Zoom a little less, inclusive of all materials, the H1 workbook, and weekly marking. Because H1 students attend only the H1 relevant weeks, you pay for the lessons you attend. Financial assistance of 25 to 100 percent is available.

We publish whole cohort figures rather than cherry picked top scorers. The 2025 A-rate was 74 percent, self reported by students as of 28 February 2026, and it carries the usual response and selection bias caveats. We treat the student videos and their own messages as the stronger proof, which is why they lead this page.

H1 deserves an H1 programme.

The trial is a full two hour lesson, same room, same material, same standard. Not a demo, not a sales pitch. Come and see how an H1 specialist programme actually works.
