Private/online tutoring is extremely common in Hong Kong, especially for children in primary and secondary school. Many families see extra tuition as a normal part of education, particularly for core subjects like Maths and English. It’s not unusual for children to have weekly sessions to reinforce school learning, prepare for exams, or build confidence.
Tutoring can be used for specific subjects or exam preparation, but it’s also often part of a broader approach to academic development. Families generally view tutoring as a way to support children’s learning rather than a replacement for school.
