Online Tutoring for prospective students
for academic year 2020 to 2021
We have seen a rise of Online Tutoring becomes the favoured option for students in Hong Kong and China. Because of the pandemic, many parents had decided to defer their ideas to send children abroad these two years. However, they are still hoping to have us support the child's learning and help them develop their skills with the support from our experienced tutors. This will not only help them have access to the British curriculum, well prepared for the fundamentals elements and also understand the pedology in UK.
The core subject for the secondary schools are English, Mathematics and Sciences, therefore the students can benefit from engaging in interactive lessons. There are a number of online mediums and platforms we would be using such as Zoom, and File sharing website Dropbox and Google Drive. These also help students build up the ICT skills and stay organised with tutors.

For those students who wanted to return home overseas, we had arranged transportation for them to arrive the airport safely. We also followed up to ensure that they could carry on with the school curriculum online to produce work of great quality. For those who wanted to stay with their host families, they adapted to the lockdown. All of our students were able to study online and finish their reports or dissertations.
