Why Kowloon Tong students
Kowloon Tong hosts the densest cluster of IB Diploma schools on the Kowloon peninsula — Australian International School Hong Kong (AISHK) on Norman Road runs IB DP alongside the Australian HSC and AP CollegeBoard; Yew Chung International School (YCIS Kowloon) on Somerset Road runs IB DP HL/SL with Cambridge IGCSE feeding it; and Kingston International School on Kent Road is a small but high-achieving IB DP setting. The education-hub density of Kowloon Tong means IB Economics HL students sit at the top of the global IB curve, with City University of Hong Kong (CityU) and HKU drawing strong non-JUPAS demand. The gap holding Kowloon Tong students back is rarely content — it is IA structure, EE focus and Paper 3 timing. Y12 IAs at AISHK and YCIS land in Term 2, immediately before Lunar New Year, and the May session sits four months later. Our IB DP Economics tutors are IB examiners matched to AISHK/YCIS/Kingston schemes of work, turning around IA drafts inside 48 hours.
Exam boards we cover
HL Economics is the standard route for Australian International School Hong Kong (AISHK) on Norman Road, Yew Chung International School (YCIS Kowloon) on Somerset Road, Kingston International School on Kent Road and AISHK's IB DP track students targeting top medicine, engineering or quantitative university courses. Heavier content and a more demanding internal assessment.
SL Economics suits Kowloon Tong Diploma students keeping a balanced six-subject load. Same internal assessment framework, lighter syllabus depth.
Syllabus coverage
Our IB Economics tutors cover the full specification with extra depth on the topics where Kowloon Tong students most consistently lose marks.

What we fix
How we fix it:DBS on the Mong Kok border runs HKDSE plus a Cambridge IGCSE option with internal mocks tightly clustered in January/February; AISHK on Norman Road runs Australian HSC + AP + IB DP mocks across the same window. We build a 6-8 week Economics mock-prep block of timed past papers and mark-scheme drills, matched to the exact board the student sits.
How we fix it:MTR Kowloon Tong is a major Tung Chung Line ↔ East Rail Line interchange, drawing students into the district from across HK and the New Territories. Long commutes eat into Economics revision time. All Combo Tutors lessons are online 1-to-1 in HKT — no extra travel after a full school day at DBS, La Salle, Maryknoll, AISHK or YCIS.
How we fix it:Kowloon Tong elite schools — DBS, La Salle College, Maryknoll Convent and Heep Yunn — offer HKDSE alongside Cambridge IGCSE/A-Level options. We advise Y9/Y10 families on the Economics content overlap, the EDB-recognised JUPAS vs non-JUPAS routes to HKU/CUHK/HKUST/CityU, and how each pathway maps to UCAS and Common App applications.
How we fix it:City University of Hong Kong's main campus sits at Kowloon Tong, intensifying academic pressure on local families. Students apply in parallel to CityU (JUPAS for HKDSE, non-JUPAS for IGCSE/A-Level/IB/AP), HKU, CUHK and HKUST, plus UCAS (Dec/Jan) and Common App (Nov/Jan). Our Economics tutors prep subject content alongside admissions tests (TMUA, MAT) and interview practice.
How we fix it:Kowloon Tong schools shut for 7-10 days around Lunar New Year, colliding with January mocks at DBS, La Salle, AISHK and YCIS and the Y12 IB IA submission window. We pre-load Economics content before CNY, run optional intensive sessions during the break, and resume with timed past-paper work the week schools reopen.
Why Combo Tutors
Diocesan Boys' School runs HKDSE with a Cambridge IGCSE option — a dual-track that demands tutors who know both syllabi. Our DBS Economics tutors are matched to the exact board the student sits, drill past papers, and prep CityU/HKU non-JUPAS plus UCAS in parallel.
Australian International School Hong Kong uniquely runs the Australian HSC, AP CollegeBoard and IB DP under one roof. Our AISHK Economics tutors are College Board-certified or IB examiners matched to the chosen track, drilling MCQ/FRQ for AP and Paper 1/2/3 for IB to the official rubric.
Yew Chung International School Kowloon on Somerset Road runs Cambridge IGCSE feeding IB DP HL/SL. Our YCIS Economics tutors are IB examiners, turn around IAs inside 48 hours, and prep CityU (next door at Kowloon Tong), HKU, Oxbridge and Ivy League admissions in parallel.
Mrs Wong Mei-Ling, parent (Kowloon Tong)
IB Economics HL — Australian International School Hong Kong (AISHK), Norman Road — CityU offer
My son was predicted a 6 in HL Economics at AISHK and the tutor walked him through every Paper 3 question type. He sat the May session and got a 7, plus a CityU computer science offer down the road.
Mr Suresh Iyer, Indian expat (Kowloon Tong)
IB Economics — Yew Chung International School (YCIS Kowloon), Somerset Road — HKU offer
We tried two Kowloon Tong agencies before Combo Tutors. The difference was examiner-level insight on Economics mark schemes — and the tutor coordinated around the Lunar New Year break for the YCIS Kowloon mocks.
Anthony C., Diocesan Boys' School Year 13 (Kowloon Tong)
IB Economics — Diocesan Boys' School (DBS), Mong Kok border — Oxford offer
Tutor knew the DBS Cambridge IGCSE option inside out — every past paper, every mark scheme. Economics jumped from a Grade 6 mock to a Grade 9 in the final, and I landed an Oxford engineering offer.
Sarah M.
Parent of IB Student · London
My daughter was struggling with IB Mathematics HL and had almost given up hope of getting a 7. After just two months of weekly sessions with her Combo Tutors tutor, her confidence soared and she went from a predicted 4 to a final grade of 6. The personalised approach made all the difference—her tutor identified exactly where the gaps were and worked through them systematically.
James P.
Parent of A-Level Student · Manchester
My son started tutoring for A-Level Physics about three months before his exams. His tutor was incredibly patient and broke down complex topics like electromagnetic induction into simple, intuitive steps. He ended up getting an A* which we genuinely didn't think was possible. I'd recommend Combo Tutors to any parent who wants a tutor that actually cares about your child's progress.
Priya K.
Parent of GCSE Student · Birmingham
We needed help with GCSE Science for my son who found chemistry particularly challenging. His tutor made the sessions engaging and relatable—using real-world examples that finally made reactions and bonding click for him. He improved by two grades and, more importantly, actually enjoys science now.
