Headstart is ETG's post-promotional-exam programme for JC1 students moving into JC2. Your J1 promos just showed you exactly what to build on. Use the October to December window to lock in every J1 topic, get a running start on Macroeconomics before school covers it, and sharpen the evaluation and essay technique that separates a B from an A. You begin JC2 already ahead, not catching up.

Headstart 2026 is an upcoming live run, opening in October.
Pre-Headstart begins in October, with the main programme across November and December. The exact session dates and crashcourse slots for the 2026 cycle are confirmed on registration, and every lesson is recorded so you can also watch at your own pace.

We would rather show you students than quote you a percentage. Real, verifiable grade jumps from students who turned a JC1 foundation into a JC2 result, in their own words.
"As long as you are willing to put in the effort, you will improve tremendously with his guidance, as I did, from a consistent E to my first A for my entire JC econs journey."
Glynis Lim · Verified review"Mr Toh is an amazing econs tutor. He helped me jump from Ds and Es to an A for A Levels. Very understanding and patient, super caring too."
Jamie Ng · Verified review"Mr Toh helped me go from U to E in just one month since I started tuition, and since then the grades have just been going up."
Daniel Heng · Verified review"He helped me turn my econs result from a D to an A. His lessons are fun and interesting, and he gives us enough practice to do well."
Chian Hong · Verified review"I only joined in the middle of my A Level year on a borderline U in H1, and with a few months of one class a week and the homework, my grade increased to a B."
Ian Chua · Verified review"Mr Toh's predictions on the A level questions are usually spot on, and I did improve from a C or D grade to an A in A Levels."
Zack Goh · Verified reviewIndividual results, in the students' own words, not typical. SEAB sets the paper, not us. Read 500+ verified reviews →
The J1 promotional exams are not a verdict, they are information. They show you, topic by topic, exactly where your understanding is solid and where it is still settling. That is genuinely useful, and the students who pull ahead are simply the ones who act on it early rather than waiting for school to revisit the content next year.
There is a real gift in the calendar here. The months between promos and the start of JC2 are some of the few stretches of the two years that are genuinely yours to shape. No new syllabus is being pushed at you, no exam is days away. It is the ideal window to consolidate every J1 topic at a comfortable pace and to get a running start on Macroeconomics, which makes up the bulk of JC2.
That is what Headstart is built around. A committed student who uses these months arrives in JC2 with the foundations already in place, more confident, and ahead of where the rest of the cohort will be in January. Momentum, not catch-up.
Headstart is built for the J1 to J2 transition specifically, so every lesson does double duty: it strengthens a J1 foundation and sets up a J2 topic, taught the way ETG teaches, anchored in things you will actually remember.
Watch a film by Hollywood A-listers about the 2008 Financial Crisis to understand Moral Hazard. Compare living standards between Singapore and other cities through Mr Toh's travel vlogs. This is Economics made relevant and memorable, anchored in events rather than abstract definitions.
Understand why people make seemingly irrational decisions, and how governments use that knowledge to design better policy. These are exactly the richer angles that lift an evaluation paragraph from competent to distinctive.
Work through top questions from the latest J1 promo papers and the most recent A Level papers. You learn to decode what a question is really asking and how a strong answer is built, so the format stops being a surprise.
A deep dive into Singapore's fiscal policy and tax system, the local case material that examiners value at the A Levels. You build a bank of context you can reach for in any Macro essay or case study.
Want to know if Headstart fits where you are after promos? Tell us your school and how your promos went, no pressure.
Every stage is built for exactly where you are in the window. The content crashcourses and skills workshops run at scheduled live slots, confirmed on registration, and every lesson is recorded so you can watch and revisit at your own pace.
Every lesson is recorded with unlimited access, so a clash with a school event never means a missed lesson.
Over $200 of materials come with the full programme, every one written by Mr Toh, the same person who wrote the H1 and H2 TYS answer keys published by SAP and sold at Popular. These are printed and bound, not photocopies and not last-minute PDFs.
The Macro and Micro Express guidebooks, the Diagrams booklet, the Summary book, the exercise book and the illustrated Headstart textbook, included from day one.
Headstart is taught by Mr Eugene Toh, ETG's founder and lead economics tutor, who 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.
He has taught economics since 2007, has guided more than 4,000 students, and has been featured in the local press. The Headstart materials, from the Macro Express guidebook your JC2 year will lean on to the illustrated Headstart textbook, are written by the same hand that wrote the answer keys students across Singapore reference. Get the J1 to J2 transition right with the person who defined the model answers, and the whole of JC2 becomes easier.
Like muscle memory
"The programme is very comprehensive. By the time you sit for A Levels, it is like muscle memory."

Bryan Chiang HCI"Not only do you go through content, ETG also covers essay questions, and that made all the difference."
Cassie CJC"Anyone can understand difficult Economics concepts when Mr Toh explains them."
Ryan Ho HCI"ETG played a huge role in helping me get my A for the A Level Econs paper."

Headstart is ETG's post-promotional-exam programme for JC1 students moving into JC2. It is built around the October to December window, between the end of the J1 promos and the start of JC2, to consolidate every J1 topic, get a running start on Macroeconomics before school covers it, and sharpen evaluation and essay technique. It is open to all J1 students, including those who are not yet ETG students.
Pre-Headstart begins in October, with the main programme running across November and December. The exact session dates and the live crashcourse slots for the 2026 cycle are confirmed on registration. Every lesson is recorded with unlimited access, so you can attend live where it suits you and watch the rest at your own pace.
Every lesson is recorded and uploaded with unlimited access, so you can watch any session anytime and revisit it as often as you like. Many students attend the live crashcourse slots that fit their schedule and take the rest on the recordings.
Yes, that is exactly what it is built for. Your promos show you, topic by topic, what to build on, and Headstart strengthens those foundations at a comfortable pace before JC2 begins, whatever grade you finished promos on. Students across the full range take it, and several of our strongest stories started from a U or D.
Headstart is designed for the J1 to J2 transition specifically, covering exactly what you need in the window when you need it, rather than the ongoing weekly syllabus. Each lesson does double duty: it consolidates a J1 topic and sets up a JC2 one, with a deliberate early start on Macroeconomics, which forms the bulk of JC2.
Yes. Headstart is open to all J1 students moving into J2, whether or not you study with ETG during the year. You receive the same lessons, the same materials and the same recordings as everyone else.
The full programme includes over $200 of printed materials: the Macroeconomics Express and Microeconomics Express guidebooks, the Economics Diagrams booklet, the Economics Summary book, the ETG exercise book, and the illustrated ETG Headstart textbook. They are written in-house by Mr Toh, the author of the H1 and H2 TYS answer keys, and included with the programme.
The Complete Headstart Programme is $1,200, down from $1,600, for all 16 lessons with a pay-for-12-get-4-free holiday special, all materials and unlimited recordings. The Intensive Crashcourse is $680, down from $1,000, for the eight core content and skills sessions. Pay by card on registration, or PayNow to UEN 201412435Z and WhatsApp the screenshot to our payment line. Confidential financial assistance of 25% to 100% is available for eligible students.

We publish whole cohort figures rather than cherry picked top scorers. The 2025 A-rate was 74 percent, self reported by students after results, so it carries the usual response and selection bias and is indicative rather than exact. SEAB sets the paper, not us. That is why we lead with what students actually say, and why their videos and their own words sit above any number on this page.
Your promos showed you where to build. Headstart turns the October to December window into a head start: every J1 topic consolidated, Macroeconomics begun before school, and the essay and evaluation technique that lifts a grade. You step into JC2 confident, not catching up.
We are ready when you are. Register for Headstart, or message us and we will help you choose the right path.
