Our IB & IGCSE Tutors

Graduates of leading UK, US and Canadian universities, screened to roughly a one-in-ten acceptance rate.

Our tutors have three or more years of teaching behind them, degrees from leading universities in the UK, US and Canada — many with graduate degrees — and, importantly, training on the specific IB and Cambridge or Edexcel specifications rather than on the subject in general.

They work with students from Year 3 to Year 13 across the IB Diploma, IB MYP, IGCSE, A-Level, SAT, AP and SSAT, covering English, Maths, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Economics and Chinese. The full range is set out under our courses.

IB & IGCSE Maths team

Maths AA/AI HL specialists who teach the method, not the answer

Maths AA, Maths AI, IGCSE Extended Maths, A-Level Maths & Further Maths

IB DP · IB MYP · IGCSE · A-Level · 8 years teaching

Graduates of leading UK, US and Canadian universities; several with graduate degrees

Our maths tutors work backwards from the mark scheme. Most students arrive able to do the routine questions and lose marks on the multi-step, unfamiliar ones — so lessons focus on recognising question types, structuring working for method marks, and using the GDC efficiently under time pressure.

IB & IGCSE Physics team

Physics tutors who fix the maths before the physics

Physics SL/HL, IGCSE Physics, A-Level Physics, Combined Science

IB DP · IGCSE · A-Level · 7 years teaching

Engineering and physical sciences graduates from UK and US universities

Most physics grades in Hong Kong are lost to algebra and unit handling rather than to physics. We diagnose that in the trial lesson, then build up through definitions, derivations and past-paper drilling with full IA support.

IB & IGCSE Chemistry and Biology team

Chemistry and Biology tutors for content-heavy syllabuses

Chemistry SL/HL, Biology SL/HL, IGCSE Chemistry, IGCSE Biology, A-Level Chemistry & Biology

IB DP · IGCSE · A-Level · 9 years teaching

Chemistry, biochemistry and life sciences graduates; several ex-medical-school applicants

Chemistry and Biology reward precise command-term answers. Our tutors drill the difference between state, explain and evaluate, and work through the practical and IA components that students most often underestimate.

English & SSAT team

English tutors for IB Language A/B, IGCSE and entrance exams

English A Lang & Lit, English B, IGCSE First & Second Language English, SSAT, ISEB

IB DP · IGCSE · SSAT · ISEB · 8 years teaching

English literature and humanities graduates from UK and US universities

English is the subject where Hong Kong students most often plateau at a 5. We teach a repeatable essay frame, close-reading vocabulary for unseen commentary, and run timed writing every session because the exam is won on pace.

Chinese team 中文科團隊

IGCSE and IB Chinese for first- and second-language candidates

IGCSE Chinese (First & Second Language), IB Chinese A/B, Mandarin, A-Level Chinese

IB DP · IGCSE · A-Level · 10 years teaching

Chinese language and literature graduates; native Cantonese and Mandarin speakers

本地學生選 IGCSE 中文時最常揀錯卷別。我們先評估學生的讀寫水平,再決定 First Language 定 Second Language,然後針對寫作格式同閱讀理解題型操練。

Admissions consultants

Ex-Ivy League and Russell Group consultants for UK and US applications

Personal statements, Common App essays, interview prep, SAT, AP, SSAT

UCAS · Common App · US & UK boarding · 10 years teaching

Ivy League and Oxbridge/Russell Group graduates

We start with a realistic school list, then work backwards to the testing timeline, the essays and the interview. Applications are planned 12–18 months out.

How we hire

About one in ten applicants is hired. Candidates are assessed on subject knowledge at the level they will teach, on a taught sample lesson, and on how they respond when a student gets something wrong — which is the part that separates people who know a subject from people who can teach it. If you teach IB or IGCSE and want to be considered, see tutoring jobs at Hudson Academy.

New tutors are then trained on the specific specifications and mark schemes they will be teaching, because knowing chemistry and knowing how CAIE marks a six-mark chemistry question are different competencies.

Matching a tutor to a student

We match on exam board, level, and what the student actually needs — pace for a student who is ahead and bored, or foundations for one who is behind and losing confidence. Those require different tutors.

If the fit is not right, tell the coordinator and we will re-match. No explanation needed, at any point. Fit matters more than credentials and it is not always predictable in advance.

Frequently asked questions

Are your tutors full-time?

We have a core of full-time tutors and a wider group of experienced part-time tutors, several of whom are current or former classroom teachers at Hong Kong international schools.

Can we request the same tutor every week?

Yes, and we plan for it — continuity is a large part of why tutoring works. If a tutor is unavailable we will offer a cover session or reschedule, whichever you prefer.

Can we change tutor?

At any time, without giving a reason.
