From primary school to university applications. （to be confirmed）

Our lessons focus on school subjects taught in English, entry to the next school and university applications, rather than general conversation classes.

Yes, whenever it helps — you are welcome to join. We do not ask parents to sit in on every lesson, as some children concentrate better without a parent in the room.

Only with a parent's consent. Every tutor's identity is checked, and tutors in the UK have a DBS check.

No. We teach international and UK-style curricula — IB, IGCSE, A-Level and the UK Key Stages. For children moving from a local school to an international school, see international school entry.

Tutors in Japan are one hour ahead of Hong Kong. Tutors in the UK are seven hours behind during British Summer Time and eight hours behind in winter, so they can teach in Hong Kong evenings and at weekends.

Yes. Your coordinator suggests a tutor for the subject and curriculum. If the match does not work, tell your coordinator and we arrange a change, with a handover of the learning record.

Lessons are taught in English. Your coordinator replies by email or chat in the language you prefer, and the free consultation can be held in English, Chinese or Japanese.

Fees are in HKD and listed on our fees page.

It can help to start a few years before entry, so that English and Maths are secure before test practice begins. Your coordinator works back from each school's registration deadline. See boarding school preparation.

Roughly, P6 corresponds to Year 7 (entry at 11+), S2 to Year 9 (entry at 13+) and S5 to Year 12 (entry at 16+). UK year groups are set by date of birth, so your coordinator checks your child's exact year group for each school. A full table is in our application timeline guide (繁體中文). （to be confirmed）

Yes. A tutor prepares the English, maths and reasoning that entry assessments look at, and practises the interview. Each school sets its own assessment. See international school entry.

No. Schools decide admissions. We prepare your child and support the application.

Yes. For UK universities through UCAS, we help with timing, subject choices, the personal statement and interviews, and admissions tests where we have a tutor — alongside IB Diploma or A-Level lessons. See university applications.

Many families start in the year before the application. Your coordinator works back from the UCAS deadlines and your child's school year. A timeline is in our UCAS timeline guide (繁體中文).

No. The personal statement must be your child's own work; tutors give feedback on drafts. Universities decide admissions.

For boarding schools abroad and international schools in Hong Kong: shortlisting, timelines, forms and statements written by your child with our feedback, interview preparation and the steps to enrolment. See school applications.

Some partner schools pay ELT a referral fee. We tell you which schools are partners, and it does not change the order in which we suggest schools.

No. Many UK boarding schools ask for a guardian for overseas students. We give you a list of guardianship providers to choose from and tell you if we receive a referral fee from any of them.
