Keen for your kids to learn a second (or third) language? Or to help get their current skills to a higher level? Or perhaps you feel like your child’s pathway to conversation and understanding seems overly slow or has hit a few hard-to-navigate bends – be it in French, Mandarin or other language (even English). There’s an easy way to give it a boost: through HKIL, the Hong Kong Institute of Languages. HKIL is currently offering courses in six different languages – English, French German, Spanish, Mandarin and Japanese – for children aged from three to 12 years, and teenagers 13 to 18 years.
We find out more about the courses, plus details of a special offer!
How enrolling your child in a course at the Hong Kong Institute of Languages can help
# Who are they for?
The courses are available for children and teens who want support in their general progress, need help for exam preparation, or for complete beginners who want to learn a new foreign language. They cater for all levels, from beginner through to advanced, and they’re tailor-made to your child’s needs.
# How do they work?
Face-to-face private lessons and small group classes are available, as well as online lessons. And, if your child doesn’t know whether they’d prefer to learn in a physical setting or virtually from home, they can swap between face-to-face and online learning if they wish; alternatively, they can select a blend of both modes of learning.
# Is face-to-face teaching still available with current restrictions in place?
Yes, the Education Department is allowing registered education centres to teach one third of their usual student population by face-to-face lessons. HKIL is a registered education centre (reg: 559997).
Special Offer!
For the month of May, HKIL is offering 20 percent off tuition fees for all language courses for kids and teens!
