EOK has been like a shelter to me. One of the main reasons why I came to EOK is that studying in local school gave me a lot of pressure. As my grades had continued to drop, I decided to listen to Dr Ma’s advice and study full time in EOK. Due to the intensive and engaging program here, I got great results in IGCSE and A levels. The teachers are supportive and patient. When I lose hope in my studies, they comfort and motivate me. I want to thank EOK for giving me encouragement.

When I was in local school, I had zero confidence in my English ability. After coming to EOK, I began to build up my motivation to practice my reading, writing, speaking and listening skills. I learned many valuable exam strategies and sentence structures from the teachers who clarified all of my misconceptions. This made me realize that English is not as unapproachable as it seemed.
English Language
English Language
English as a First Language is never an "easy A" subject as students thought because it requires intensive training on a spectrum of technical skills to score at the top 10%. At EOK, intensive training is not merely about past paper drilling, but a systematic teaching method that scrutinizes each exam component thoroughly and designs a series of comprehensive learning lessons that targets the essential knowledge and skills. EOK teachers also identify the weaknesses and misconceptions of each student and personalize the learning plan accordingly. With such teaching method, EOK has succeeded in boosting students' grades from C or B to A and even A*.
