About British Tutors

Founded in 2008, British Tutors is an award-winning private tuition and education consultancy company. We arrange lessons with top tutors in Hong Kong and Singapore, offering academic support in a wide range of subjects. We are committed to providing outstanding quality and bespoke service ensuring the very best for each student.

Philosophy

The aim of British Tutors is to draw on the best of the UK education system to both enhance and complement schooling for international students. We go beyond the school curriculum to instil in our pupils a love of learning through reading, discussion and debate. We always strive to present our lessons in a fun and interesting way to engage students. Above all, we encourage them to think critically and to have both the confidence and skill to express their own ideas and opinions. With confidence comes a motivation to succeed and an improvement in results.

Bespoke service

All lessons are tailored and British Tutors caters to the needs of the most discerning parents. We are flexible to changing schedules and locations, across Asia and beyond. Private tuition can take place in your home or our office.

British Education

Our tutors all have access to our library of British teaching materials, bringing the best of British education to their students in Hong Kong and Singapore. As a company, we specialise in teaching children who are entering the British schooling system, to bridge the gap and ease the transition between the local system and that in the UK. We offer expert education consultancy services and tutorials on entrance exams and interviews for UK schools and universities.
