About iStudy
#IB/IGCSE Expert
Since our establishment in 2013, iStudy Learning Center has provided first-class tutorial services in small group and one-to-one settings.
We specialise in teaching curricula such as GCSE and IB for students studying in international schools in Hong Kong. Led by a team of experienced and dedicated educators, our services are tailored to each student’s educational needs and goals.
Always striving to provide a wider range of services, we are excited to expand our courses into the HKDSE and American AP curricula, as well as test preparations for SAT, ACT, and IELTS.
This coming year, iStudy is partnering with IDEAQ in offering dynamic enrichment courses on building intelligent, digital, emotional, and adversity quotients in youth.
Our Successful Stories
iStudy’s students have achieved incredible results every year in their public examinations. In the past few years, we have had the honour of successfully helping over 20 students in obtaining a full score in IB Diploma (45/45) and well over 60 students with over 40+.
Many of our students have continued their education journey at prestigious universities both overseas and locally. To see what our students have to say about their experiences with us, check out our Successful Stories page!
Imagination
We encourage students to extend their classroom learning into creative and innovative applications. We believe by creating a space encouraging open expression can help students develop deeper interests into the subjects they are most passionate about.
Strengths
We take a strengths-based approach in coaching our students to help them build their confidence and personal identity. We believe by spotlighting student’s natural talents, we can help them identify their style of learning, tailor our teaching to suit their needs, and increase the efficiency of their learning in the classroom.
Time
All learning requires dedicated time and effort. Through patience and individualised lesson plans, iStudy tutors guide students to learn at a pace that gets the work done without overexerting pressure on students. We believe time management is just as important to long-term success as academic intelligence; each lesson is a practice on using time efficiently and wisely.
Understanding
Here at iStudy, “understanding” is a two-way stream. Our teaching approach emphasise on deep comprehension on subject material and concepts, rather than shallow memorisation of facts. Tutors are also trained to observe and identify each student’s unique needs to best guide them. “Understanding”, in a nutshell, is the core of our work with students and their goals.
Discipline
Through structured learning with set objectives and step-by-step planning, we create scaffolds for our students to reach their goals. In the process, students will learn to build their time management skills, perseverance, and the importance of discipline.
Yours
Last but not least - we strive to help students develop a sense of ownership, responsibility, and drive to take charge of their own learning.
