English is the most widely spoken language in the world, essential for communication, travel, study, and business. Whether you are an expatriate, an international school student, or a local Hong Kong learner, mastering English opens opportunities globally.
Our General English Course is designed for students who want to develop comprehensive skills in listening, speaking, reading, and writing. The program has three levels — Beginner (60 hours), Intermediate (120 hours), and Advanced (120 hours) — taught by experienced English tutors at our centre. Classes are available both in-person and online, in private or group formats.
Our Beginner English Course is designed for complete beginners or learners with very limited English skills. Many students in Hong Kong, especially Chinese or Asian learners, find English challenging because of the big differences in pronunciation, grammar, and writing. This course helps students gain confidence and start using English in real-life situations.
The course covers basic vocabulary, pronunciation, greetings, numbers, daily activities, shopping, food, directions, and family conversations. Grammar topics include basic sentence structure, present tense, articles, prepositions, and common verbs. Students practice through role play, dialogues, group activities, and interactive games so that learning English becomes fun and engaging.
Listening and speaking skills are developed through audio practice and conversations with teachers. Reading lessons include short stories, menus, signs, and simple texts. Writing practice focuses on basic sentences, filling out forms, writing short notes, and simple letters.
After 60 hours, students will be able to:
This level lays the foundation for moving on to the Intermediate English Course, where deeper communication skills are developed.
The Intermediate English Course is designed for learners who already have some basic English but need to develop more fluency, vocabulary, and grammar accuracy for daily and academic purposes.
In this course, students practice conversations in social and professional settings, including travel, study, and work situations. Grammar becomes more advanced, covering past tense, future tense, conditionals, comparatives, sentence combining, and modal verbs. Vocabulary expands to cover education, careers, entertainment, health, and technology.
Listening exercises include audio recordings, short lectures, and dialogues, training students to understand natural English at different speeds and accents. Speaking practice includes role plays, group discussions, debates, and short presentations.
Writing skills are strengthened through emails, formal letters, diary entries, reports, and descriptive essays. Reading focuses on longer texts, articles, news, and stories, teaching students techniques like skimming, scanning, and identifying main ideas.
By the end of 120 hours, students will be able to:
This level prepares students for academic purposes and leads smoothly into the Advanced English Course.
The Advanced English Course is aimed at students who already communicate comfortably but want to achieve academic, professional, or near-native fluency. This level is ideal for learners preparing for IELTS, TOEFL, university studies, or business English courses.
The course focuses on refining pronunciation, improving grammar accuracy, and mastering advanced vocabulary. Students learn how to use formal and informal English appropriately, adapt their language to different contexts, and express themselves with confidence in presentations, debates, and interviews.
Writing at this level includes academic essays, research summaries, persuasive writing, business correspondence, and creative writing. Reading covers newspapers, journals, reports, and literature extracts, teaching students to analyze tone, structure, and meaning.
Advanced speaking tasks include public speaking, academic discussions, negotiation simulations, and interview practice. Listening skills are trained using lectures, news reports, and natural conversations with varied accents.
By the end of 120 hours, students will:
