Tutoring in Happy Valley, Hong Kong
Strong results start with strong foundations. We pair rigorous, personalised tutoring with genuine mentorship — small classes, an honest written note after every lesson, and specialist support for students who learn differently — so every child builds the confidence and skills to reach their potential.
What We Offer
Oxbridge and Ivy League educators who came through Hong Kong’s intensive academic environment.
Whatever your child’s age, school or curriculum — from primary right through to Year 13 — we’ll match them with a tutor who fits.
Led by Kevin Li, MA in Special Education — real help for students who learn differently.
You’ll always know what we covered, how it went, and one thing to try at home.
How it works
HK$600–1,400 / hour
Sessions taught to a shared standard, one to one or in small groups, with a written note to you after every lesson. This is how we teach everyone.

An optional add-on on top of your tutoring: your child’s learning documented and tracked — a one-page learning profile, a written progress summary each month, and a documented review every term.

For families overwhelmed by everything it takes to keep a child’s support on track. One plan, and one person holding the whole picture — so it isn’t all on you.

Why we started
“I struggled academically for years growing up, despite having a whole array of tutors across almost every subject. It was only when I studied special education and began teaching that I understood why: Hong Kong’s schools and tutoring tend to favour a one-size-fits-all approach. Reaching the students who don’t fit that mould is the difference I hope StepUp can make.”

Testimonials
Kevin is far more than a tutor. He is an experienced mentor and role model who looks beyond grades to spot fundamental needs, like low self-esteem, and provides support on these needs. When asked about progress, Kevin provides detailed, evidence-backed feedback. His deep insight and care make him truly exceptional.
Parent, Y10 Island School
Revising for the SAT on my own felt almost insurmountable, and I felt I couldn’t improve beyond my range after several attempts. With regular practice and targeted work, Kevin improved my SAT skills significantly — after just two months I achieved a 1560, 150 points above my previous score.
Student, Y12 Canadian International School
I got a 9 in Economics — thank you, Kevin, for all your help over the GCSE period. If it weren’t for you, I don’t think I’d have scored as high as I did.

Starting
Every family starts with a conversation, and it costs nothing. Tell us what has already been tried, what is not working and what you are worried about. We will tell you honestly whether we are the right people — and if we are not, who might be.
If your child has had an educational psychologist’s assessment, bring it. We will spend half an hour going through what it actually means for how they should be taught, whether or not you decide to work with us. Very few families have ever had that explained to them.
