Our Children
Tutor Time® families come from all over the world. Their varied backgrounds, languages and cultures combine to create a truly International Nursery and Kindergarten resulting in Tutor Time® graduates that have a deep sense of acceptance of others, confidence in themselves and are prepared for the diverse community that is our world. Although some of our graduates attend Chinese Traditional Primary Schools, a greater majority attend the International Primary Schools of their choice including, but not limited to, Chinese International School, ESF (English Schools Foundation), German Swiss International School, Canadian International School and many more. Because Tutor Time® students immerse themselves in a Bi-lingual English and Mandarin program based on preparing the "Whole Child" and administered in a combined teacher directed and child directed setting, they are well equipped for the interviews and resulting primary schools that they will attend after Tutor Time®.

Testimonials of Our Parents

Our son is going to go to graduate from Tutor Time® after spending 4 years since Tag Class. It is truly happy and loving place to learn for my son. Tutor Time® has met all our requirements and we have been satisfied with Tutor Time®.

As first all the facility and environment is wonderful. Classrooms are clean and light. There is enough space for kids' activities. And it is located in fresh air.

Teachers & staff are friendly and refer to children by name and truly know them. It really felt like they were one big family. Because of this pleasant atmosphere, not only children but also parents are closer and we (parents) have got our own friends through Tutor Time®.

We are confident of our child's ability to apply the wonderful skill & behavior he has developed in Tutor Time®. He has grown not only academically but also emotionally. He has become much more self-confident and begins to express himself more and more. I believe kids express themselves freely in the class and respect each other.

Thank you very much!

Cherie has been with Tutor Time® since she was 9 months old. During her time at Tutor Time® we have seen her growing to be an independent child able to socialize well. Sharing, being polite and well mannered are some of the things she accomplished from Tutor Time® but most of all is seeing her "happy face" every time we pick her up from school. With this we can also see the same results with her younger brother who is currently attending K1.

Learning English and Mandarin has given her a good foundation and prepared her well for Primary School. I am glad she did not have to take extra English/ Mandarin classes while in Primary 1. Even in Primary 1, Cherie likes to visit Tutor Time® and meet her ex-teachers with a big high five!!

Working with others in group projects and solving problems are another aspect achieved during her final year in K3. This has a great influence in her Primary School where she is able to listen and learn from others in group work and has no problem participating.

Overall we are very happy with Tutor Time® and knew from the start it was the right school as Cherie instantly felt comfortable with it and at least did not scream or run away!

When we first arrived in HK my son Jesse (3,5) and daugther Amelie (2) did not speak any English let alone Mandarin. We are native Dutch speakers and speak Dutch at home.The second week we were in HK, Jesse and Amelie started at Tutor Time?5 mornings per week.We found it really amazing how fast our kids picked up both languages at the same time. Their brains are like sponges. Within 3 months they understood and spoke English. Now, after 6 months not only do they understand Mandarin, they also are able to speak it. Of course their English will be more fluent, as they speak English after school hours (with friends etc). But whenever the Mandarin teacher asks questions, they are able to answer in Mandarin.
We are very happy with our decision for the bi-lingual school program of Tutor Time® Our kids learn 2 languages without even realizing this. The way of teaching is very professional and my kids love going to school everyday. It is a truly inspiring and challenging environment for them.
As we are the only Dutch family at the moment, I must admit that I had my concerns at first. Why would we have our kids learning 3 languages at the same time? The move from our country to Hong Kong is already a big transition, etc. However, the way in which the school teachers helped my kids and made them feel at home from day 1 took all my concerns away. It appeared that Tutor Time® school is loaded with kids that speak/learn 3 languages! I also expected that the Dutch vocabulary of my kids would not really improve as they are learning 3 languages. This is not at all the case, their Dutch vocabulary is still increasing all the time.

It was 1st February, 2005, the first day of school for my two lovely daughters in Tutor Time® Sabrina was 2 Years old. She studied in Nursery. With the warm welcoming by Ms Nikki, she went into the classroom by herself without tears and forgot to say goodbye to me. Karen was 4 years old; she acted like a donkey and climbed up to Mr. Cory's shoulder. I could not believe my two girls were so active and so happy when they first came to this kindergarten.

Two years is over, Karen has gone to primary one in a private independent school. My very first impression to Tutor Time® International Kindergarten is a school for fun only but I over look the school's curriculum and their small size classes. The school program is well designed and the teachers are very patience to every student. In every class, there must be one class teacher and two subject teachers (English and Mandarin). Karen first entered into this school, she had difficulty in writing Chinese and could only understand a little Mandarin but when she graduated from her K3 class, she is now a fluent speaker in both Mandarin and English.

Sabrina is studying K2 class and she is 5 years old now, she likes to sing and dance at home what she learns from the kindergarten. She speaks a lot in both English and Mandarin. She goes to school everyday with a sunshine smile. She will continue to study here until K3 because I cannot find a reason why I have to change.

Karen and her former classmates have all entered in very popular local and international schools; very often they will go back Tutor Time® and visit the teachers where they feel like going back home. Very special thanks to all the teachers and staff in Tutor Time® who runs the kindergarten so terrific!
