Taught by people who have done this.

After Columbia University, Kevin joined Teach For America and spent three years as a special educator in the special education department of a two-thousand-student public high school in Brooklyn, New York — earning an MA in Special Education at Relay Graduate School of Education at the same time. Having come through the IB himself at Chinese International School, he also knows first-hand the system Hong Kong families are navigating.

That period shaped a straightforward belief: the barrier is usually not subject knowledge. It is the learning skills underneath — how a student holds instructions, organises work, starts when starting is hard, and recovers when something does not land. Teaching the subject without understanding those is guessing politely.

Franco is an English and Humanities specialist with an IB Diploma from Chinese International School and Master’s degrees from the London School of Economics and the University of Oxford. He has an eight-year track record of helping students achieve in middle-school English, ESL, GCSE/IGCSE, and competitive school entrance exams.

He combines rigorous, discussion- and reading-focused classes with persuasive writing techniques inspired by his postgraduate studies. By teaching students how to think and how to express themselves, he empowers them to articulate their ideas confidently and truly.
