Individual Peer Tutoring on Language (English and Cantonese)
Survival Cantonese
The “Survival Cantonese” programme is specially designed for non-local students. In a 1.5-hour session, you will be able to practise some essential day-to-day Cantonese phrases with our native Cantonese student tutors so that you can better get around Hong Kong.
Peer English Tutoring
“One-to-one” and “group chat” English conversational practice sessions are offered to HKU students who want to brush up their oral English. All English peer tutors are native or near native English speakers. This collaboration between CEDARS-CoPE and Centre for Applied English Studies (CAES) has proven to be an effective and popular initiative that benefits both tutors and tutees.
You can register as a tutee to learn from your peers, or become a Peer Tutor to help other students.
