02 / Years, not weeks
Start early. Keep the same guide.
Families often start years before the next step — building English, Maths and science first, then adding entry tests and interviews, then the application to a new school or to university. After each move, lessons continue in the subjects that need support.
One coordinator keeps the learning record, briefs each tutor and reports to you every （to be confirmed）. Hong Kong is one hour behind tutors in Japan and seven or eight hours ahead of tutors in the UK, so lessons can fit after school and at weekends.

06 / Questions families ask
Before you ask.
Is there an ELT classroom in Hong Kong?
No. All lessons are one to one and online, so your child can learn from home in Hong Kong — or from a boarding school abroad later on.
Do you help with university applications?
Yes. For UK universities through UCAS, we help with timing, subject choices, the personal statement and interviews, alongside IB Diploma or A-Level lessons. The writing stays your child's own. See university applications.
Do you guarantee a school or university place?
No. Schools and universities decide admissions. We prepare your child and support the application.
