Economics tutors at Immerse Education’s Summer School in Singapore bring academic insight and practical expertise to a subject that shapes the modern world. Many have studied economics degrees in Singapore or Oxford, bringing global and local perspectives into the classroom. They guide students aged 16–18 through topics including global markets, trade, policy, and inequality using interactive lectures, case studies, and collaborative debates. Lessons balance theory with application, helping students connect concepts like supply and demand or fiscal policy to real-world developments. Tutors structure sessions to build data literacy, critical thinking, and argumentation. With experience in both research and policy work, they offer insight into studying economics at university and how it applies to sectors like finance, government, and international development.

My time in Sydney with Immerse has honestly been one of the best things I have ever done. I learnt so much from all the inspirational tutors who have motivated me to challenge myself academically. This experience has allowed me to develop so many amazing new friendships from all over the world. Each and every moment at immerse was engaging, fun and insightful.

The Immerse Education programme is a useful experience for both learning and personal career. I learned a lot, met new people, understood new concepts and most importantly I enjoyed it one hundred percent. You get an overview of many topics and realise the world behind what you don’t know about. In my opinion, this was the best choice I could ever make at this age.

The ability of Immerse Education to effectively build a community with a diverse group of educators with global perspectives, creating a safe space to collaborate and learn was priceless. It was a privilege to be included.

Theresa St. Laurent

For an educator to spend a week in Cambridge living the college life is already an invaluable experience per se. But to build a community with colleagues from different parts of the world and share similar problems and achievements is uplifting and reassuring.

I would absolutely recommend Immerse Education to other parents, especially those with children Quan’s age. It’s such a valuable experience, and the international environment adds another layer of richness. I haven’t found many other programmes with this level of diversity and cultural exchange.

Thu

Parent of Academic Insights student in Cambridge

It’s been a great experience for my daughter. Besides the academics, it’s encouraged her to be more independent. She’s had to navigate a new environment, meet people from all over the world, and manage without us right there. She did really well and didn’t need to text us constantly, which showed she was adjusting.

Alexander

Parent of Academic Insights student in Cambridge

It’s been great having university students and graduates as mentors. It’s given my daughter insights directly from people studying or teaching at Cambridge, rather than just remote instructors. This has been invaluable for her, and we can tell she’s been inspired by them. When we speak with her, we hear how much more confident and at ease she’s become.
