Ten years of IB and IGCSE tutoring in Hong Kong

Hudson Academy has been tutoring Hong Kong students for the IB Diploma, IB MYP, IGCSE and A-Level for over ten years from our centre in Causeway Bay. In that time our tutors have worked with more than 1,500 students from the city's international and DSS schools — ISF Academy, Chinese International School, German Swiss, Canadian International School, Victoria Shanghai Academy, Harrow, Kellett, Dulwich, St Paul's Co-ed and many more.

We teach in small groups of four or one-to-one, at the centre, at your home, or online. Every student starts with a free trial lesson so you can see the tutor teach before any money changes hands, and you can change tutor at any point without giving a reason.

What makes the tutoring work

A diagnostic first, not a syllabus march

Almost every student who comes to us has a specific, identifiable leak: algebra that is not automatic enough to survive a physics question, command terms answered as though they all mean "describe", an essay structure that works for 800 words and collapses under exam timing. The trial lesson exists to find that leak. The course plan is built around it.

Small groups of four, or one-to-one

Four students is small enough that the tutor sees every piece of working as it happens, and large enough that students hear how other people approach the same question — which is where most of the useful learning in a group setting actually comes from. Where a student needs something more targeted, or is on a compressed timeline before mocks, one-to-one is the better buy.

Past papers from the start, not just at the end

Students who only meet past papers in the final term learn the content and the exam separately. We introduce real questions early, mark them to the actual mark scheme, and make the mark scheme visible to the student so they can see exactly where the marks are and are not.

Tutors who have been screened hard

About one in ten applicants is hired. Tutors are graduates of leading UK, US and Canadian universities, most with three or more years of teaching, and all are trained on the specific IB and Cambridge/Edexcel specifications rather than on the subject in general.

Curricula we cover

ProgrammeYear groupsSubjects
IB DiplomaYear 12–13 / Grade 11–12Maths AA & AI, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, English A & B, Chinese A & B, Economics, History

Entrance & admissionsYear 6 upwardsSSAT, ISEB Common Pre-Test, SAT, AP, UCAS and Common App support

We work to the Cambridge (CAIE), Edexcel and IB specifications, and will ask which board your school follows before the first lesson — the difference matters more than most parents expect, particularly in the sciences.

How to start

  1. Tell us the subject and year group using the form on this page, WhatsApp, or a phone call.
  2. We match a tutor — usually within one working day — based on the exam board, the level, and whether the student needs pace or foundations.
  3. Free trial lesson. A real lesson, not a sales meeting. The tutor assesses as they teach and writes up what they found.
  4. You decide. If the fit is right, we agree a schedule. If it is not, we will suggest a different tutor or tell you honestly if we are not the right centre for you.

Tutoring starts from HK$250 per hour in small groups. There is no registration fee and no obligation attached to the trial lesson.

We are very pleased that our son Andrew received tutorials for IGCSE level Chemistry and Biology from Hudson Academy. Over the past eighteen months, Andrew's understanding of — and hence his test scores for — the two subjects saw meaningful improvements. Thanks to his teachers who had been patient and helpful.

Frequently asked questions

How much does IB or IGCSE tutoring cost in Hong Kong?

Our small-group tutoring starts from HK$250 per hour, with one-to-one tuition priced according to the level and subject. Rates for IB Diploma HL subjects and for admissions consulting are higher than for MYP or IGCSE. We quote the full package price before the first paid lesson, and there is no registration fee.

Is the trial lesson really free?

Yes. It is a full lesson taught by the tutor who would go on to teach your child, not a consultation. The tutor assesses the student while teaching and sends you a short write-up of what they found. There is no obligation to continue.

Do you tutor online as well as at the centre?

Yes. We have taught online since 2020 and roughly a third of our lessons run that way, including for families who have relocated to the UK, Canada or Singapore. Online lessons use a shared whiteboard and the same materials as centre lessons, and are recorded on request.

Which schools do your students come from?

Mostly Hong Kong international and DSS schools — ISF Academy, CIS, Hong Kong International School, German Swiss, Canadian International School, Victoria Shanghai Academy, Harrow, Kellett, Renaissance College, Po Leung Kuk Choi Kai Yau, St Paul's Co-ed and Diocesan Boys' and Girls'. We also tutor Hong Kong students at UK boarding schools during the holidays and online in term time. See Why Hudson for the full list.

Can we change tutor if it is not working?

At any time and without needing to justify it. Fit between tutor and student matters more than credentials, and it is not always obvious in advance. Tell the coordinator and we will re-match.

Do you teach in Cantonese and Mandarin as well as English?

Our coordinators speak Cantonese, Mandarin and English. Subject lessons are taught in English by default because that is the language of the exam, except for Chinese subjects. If a student needs concepts explained in Cantonese while still writing answers in English, tell us and we will match a bilingual tutor.
