Tutoring for Teens

How this tutoring service can turn struggling students into successful graduates.

Being a teenager is tough enough, but, if you’re struggling with school and learning, you face an additional challenge. It can send even the most loving households into a state of conflict. Oxfordeducated JEROME BARTY-TAYLOR knows all about the enormous frustration young adults tackling learning challenges face. Jerome has been there with his own experience with dysgraphia. Now, through his specialist tutoring business, BartyED, he’s helping Hong Kong teenagers blossom from struggling students to successful graduates.

“Teenagers just like to be taken seriously,” says Jerome, who explains that a student’s personal connection with a tutor is key to success. For this reason, BartyED’s tutors range in age from 25 to 30 years; this means they have the intellectual rigour to teach complex subjects plus the life experience of overcoming their own personal learning challenges – it makes them relatable to teenagers.

This combination ensures BartyED staff all have the soft skills required to build a connection with, and in turn mentor, teenage clients who are often frustrated with school. “That relationship is an important element and drives the process forward,” says Jerome.

Here we share the story of Adam and his mum Tammy, who read about BartyED in Expat Living and reached out to Jerome for help.

The BartyED team can help with homework or provide tuition in all pre- tertiary subjects, with expertise in IB, AP, HSC and standardised testing. They can also deliver personalised admissions consultancy for toptier schools. For more information, contact enquiries@bartyed.com.

BartyED is at 1/F, New East Sun Building, 18 Shing Yip Street, Kwun Tong.
