Mr Eric Goh has taught Geography since 2003. He was an MOE scholar who read Geography at the National University of Singapore and he received a teaching award while training at NIE. He began at Jurong Junior College, where more than half of his 2005 students scored a distinction and the college was recognised by the Ministry for value-added results in Geography. He went on to become Subject Head at Hwa Chong and a Senior Teacher at Raffles Institution.

GeogCafe grew out of that classroom experience. Mr Goh’s view is simple: exam questions change every year, but they always come from the same core concepts. So his lessons build the concepts first, then drill students on past questions until the technique holds under exam pressure. His past students include President’s Scholar Penny Shi (GeogCafe Class of 2018), who went on to read urban studies at Stanford University.
