Private tutoring is highly valued in Hong Kong because of the competitive education system and emphasis on academic results. Parents often see it as a way to support children’s progress, reinforce school learning, and prepare for important exams like the Primary School Leaving Examination (PSLE) or international assessments.
Cultural expectations, small class sizes, and high-stakes exams mean extra tuition is common from an early age. Tutoring is often considered essential for children who want to keep up with peers, improve confidence in key subjects, or gain access to prestigious schools.
