Mrs Boh graduated from Nanyang Technological University with a Second Upper Class Honours in Economics. Prior to joining the education fraternity,  she had worked in an overseas international bank, focusing on fund management accounting before relocating to Beijing, China. Her overseas career stint has given her an international outlook towards Economics, bringing new perspectives to her teachings for her students.

Mrs Boh is very passionate about the subject content of Economics, as well as the pedagogy in delivering the best lessons for her students. She strongly believes in adapting her teaching style to meet the varied needs of all her students. To her, the joy of learning is essential to excelling in the subject.

“Before joining Mrs Boh’s classes, I struggled to fully appreciate the economic concepts and could not even structure my essays. I was scoring Us for my assignments and failing tests til I attended her lessons. Now I have learnt to appreciate the joy of learning this meaningful subject and see it being applied in real world contexts. Also, I have understand how to plan my essays to structure a systematic viewpoint and argument. I found economics more interesting with Mrs Boh’s help and this helped me to improve greatly, getting a distinction for my A levels!”
