English Education for Children and Youth in Kornhill / Quarry Bay, Hong Kong

At Launchpad, we specialise in English Education for Children and Youth.

Seeing the fruit of a child’s willingness to learn a new skill and a new language, is very rewarding and that’s what we do at Launchpad. We work with young people from the age of 5 - 15 to build them up in English speaking and writing. Over the past 15+ years, the structure of our class has developed in areas such as critical reasoning and writing, making sense of newspaper’s social issues, creative writing, preparing for school interviews (kindergarten, primary and secondary - for international and local schools), learning English expression and foundational grammar.
