Find a private tutor in Hong Kong who fits your subject, schedule and budget. HK Tutor Link connects families and tutors directly: post a tutoring request, compare profiles and rates, and discuss lessons in the app. Choose home or online tuition for primary school, secondary school, HKDSE, IB, IGCSE and A-Level study. YOU CHOOSE THE TUTOR Post what you need and let tutors apply with their rates, or browse profiles and contact someone yourself. AI-assisted matching considers subject, level, location, availability, budget and teaching preferences. You make the final choice. Compare teaching experience, qualifications and rates for homework help, stronger foundations or exam preparation. HOW TO ARRANGE LESSONS 1.

Chat to agree lessons, then confirm the arrangement in the app. PRIMARY AND SECONDARY TUITION Find primary tutors for English, Chinese, Maths and homework support. Specify spelling, reading comprehension, writing, word problems, school tests or Primary 5 and 6 assessment preparation. Seek support with language skills and core concepts before secondary school. For Secondary 1 to 3, seek help with English-medium lessons and Maths or science foundations. Secondary 4 to 6 students can request revision, elective subject support or exam preparation. Agree materials with your tutor. DSE TUTORS AND EXAM PREPARATION Find HKDSE Chinese, English and Mathematics tutors, including Maths M1 and M2. Specify reading, writing, listening, speaking, mathematical concepts or exam technique. Request Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Economics, BAFS, Geography, History, Chinese History and ICT tuition.
