Tutoring from S.1 to S.6: business subjects for the HKDSE in BAFS and Economics, plus mathematics, English and Integrated Science taught by Mr Wong, from junior forms through to DSE Mathematics and Modules 1 and 2. One-to-one or small group, Kwun Tong or online, free trial lesson.
This page covers S.1 to S.6. The business subjects — BAFS and Economics — are taught by the founder, Tinnie; mathematics, English and Integrated Science are taught by Mr Wong. The years covered and the fees differ between the two; see the fee tables below.
Entering senior secondary school, students begin their elective subjects and must start preparing for the HKDSE taken in S.6 — aiming for the results that will take them to their preferred university and programme. At the same time, extracurricular activities, training and competitions leave students with little spare time, while packed syllabuses mean whatever school cannot cover ends up in extra lessons, adding even more pressure.
So why do students need DSE tutoring — and what are PY Education's strengths?
A typical secondary class has twenty to thirty students. With syllabuses that can barely be finished, it is hard to look after every student's learning needs. Each school also has its own teaching plan — learn this first, then that — which creates a problem: if I never mastered A, I will struggle with B too. Under time pressure, what usually gets sacrificed is the student's interest in learning. And once that interest is lost, grades naturally slip — a vicious cycle: I don't want to study, so my grades are poor; my grades are poor, so I don't want to study.
At PY Education, every HKDSE private student, every small group — indeed every student within each group — has their own pace, needs and plan. How do we do it?
At PY Education, the free trial lesson is not just for parents and students to try us out — it lets the tutor measure the gap between the student's progress and their goals. Thanks to the experience earned from many students' trust over the years, we know most secondary schools' teaching plans: what is being taught now, what comes next, and what the exams will cover.
Once we know the student's progress and the school's teaching plan, the next step is to rekindle the student's interest in learning.
Among the many students who have come to us, most are in S.5 and S.6 — usually with disappointing past exam results, or having discovered close to the DSE that their foundations are weak. And crucially: most arrive within the few weeks before school exams.
Most of these students rediscover their interest in learning after just a few weeks of tutoring. The reason is simple: when students feel the joy of their own progress, they believe they can do it — and do it even better.
Mr Wong teaches junior secondary English, junior secondary mathematics and junior secondary Integrated Science (IS), together with HKDSE Mathematics — the Compulsory Part and the Extended Part modules M1 and M2. Mathematics is tiered by level: S.1–S.3, S.4–S.6, and M1 or M2. English and Integrated Science are junior forms only. A DSE mathematics question a student cannot do usually traces back not to an S.5 topic but to factorisation in S.2 or quadratics in S.3 — junior and senior sit on one page because they are one line of work, not because it is tidy.

Fully built around the student's study plan and goals — ideal for students aiming to catch up or excel.
Form a small group with classmates — ideal for students aiming for steady improvement.
One-to-one, per four lessons: S4 HK$1,800, S5 HK$2,000, S6 HK$2,400. Self-formed small group, per four lessons: S4 HK$950, S5 HK$1,000, S6 HK$1,100. Lessons run 75 minutes, in Kwun Tong or online. One-to-one also carries a group discount — 20% off for two students, 30% off for three, and four students are charged at the small-group rate.
Yes. The first lesson can be a free trial — tick the box on the application form. The trial is used to find where the gaps actually are and to agree which topic to start from; nobody is asked to enrol on the spot. Lessons run 75 minutes, in Kwun Tong or online.
If the goal is to rebuild a weak foundation or push for a grade in a short window, one-to-one lets the whole lesson follow that student's own gaps, at their pace. If the grade is mid-range and the aim is steady improvement, forming a small group with classmates costs considerably less — and because everyone is at a similar point, working through long-response questions together is often more productive. Both run 75 minutes per lesson.
S4 is ideal. Both subjects have the property that an error early on keeps costing marks later — journal entries in BAFS, the demand curve in Economics. Getting those right in S4 means not spending S6 revision time relearning them. Starting in S5 or S6 is still workable: we run a topic audit first, skip what is already secure, and put the time where marks are actually being lost.
Yes, they are enrolled separately and many students take only one. That said, the two share a fair amount of ground — cost, market structure, profit calculations — so taking both lets each reinforce the other.
Billed every four lessons, with lessons of 75 minutes, taught by Mr Wong. One-to-one: English (S.1–S.3) HK$1,800. Mathematics is tiered — HK$1,400 for S.1–S.3, HK$1,800 for S.4–S.6, HK$2,200 for the Extended Part modules M1 or M2. Integrated Science (S.1–S.3) is HK$1,400. In a self-formed small group it is HK$200 less per student per four lessons. The business subjects, BAFS and Economics, are charged separately — see above.
Junior secondary mathematics, the HKDSE Compulsory Part, and both Extended Part modules — M1 (Calculus and Statistics) and M2 (Algebra and Calculus). The fee follows those three stages, per four lessons: HK$1,400 for S.1–S.3, HK$1,800 for S.4–S.6, and HK$2,200 for M1 or M2. M1 and M2 are not taught the same way, so tell us which one you are taking when you enrol.
English is taught mainly at junior level, S.1 to S.3. If you are in S.4–S.6, message us on WhatsApp with the details and we will tell you straight whether we can arrange it.
Yes. IS is a junior secondary subject, S.1 to S.3. We do not currently offer the separate Physics, Chemistry and Biology taken after S.3.
IGCSE Mathematics is on the GCSE / IGCSE page, A-Level Mathematics on the GCE A-Level / IAL page, IB Mathematics on the IBDP page, and AP Calculus and AP Statistics on the Advanced Placement page. All four are also billed every four lessons, but their lessons run 60 minutes; this page’s run 75.
