Peer English Tutoring: Building Your Social Confidence and HKU Network
Peer English Tutoring connects you with a native or near-native English-speaking Language Partner to practise conversational English in a stress-free environment. Spoken English is made easy by chatting about Food, Movies, Travel and Music at the signature Main Building of HKU! The programme will wrap up with an extra etiquette training session with practical tips for all social occasions.
Want to brush up your spoken English and/or expand your social network at HKU? Don’t hesitate to sign up! Watch out for our recruitment notice! (bulk emails sent via HKU portal system)!
Any native or near-native English speakers are welcome to join as a Language Partner. CEDARS Reward Points will be given to recognise your contributions.
Survival Cantonese
The “Survival Cantonese” programme is specially designed for non-local students. In a 1.5-hour session, students will practise some essential day-to-day Cantonese phrases with our native Cantonese student tutors, so that they can better adjust to the life in Hong Kong.
Non-local students can register as tutees to learn basic Cantonese and native Cantonese speakers are welcome to serve as a Cantonese Student Tutor. Watch out for our email recruitment notice sent via HKU portal!
