The only tutorial service you'll ever need
"Every one of our students makes significant strides and comes to more positive interpretations of themselves as individuals through their association with us."
NICOLE CHABOT, FOUNDER
Welcome
In today’s competitive climate, extra educational support can provide the edge that is needed; it can help build healthy habits towards learning and one’s self-perception as a learner for a brighter future.
We have more than 10 years of experience in teaching, the creation of educational material, the writing of lesson plans and the effective delivery and transferal of knowledge. Our expertise has been honed through delivering tutorials day in, day out, over many years.
We promote learning that is varied in content but systematic and consistent in delivery. Combined with our understanding of client goals and the idea that every student is unique, our approach means success is within reach of all.
What we do
We offer all the student needs from 1-1 tuition and group classes to focused exam preparation for entry into schools in Hong Kong, the UK and the US. From time to time we also hold targeted workshops for students and parents. We use in-person and online learning approaches.
