Adam is a truly amazing English tutor. As his IB English student for 2 years, I am confident to say he is knowledgeable, patient and supportive. He has really motivated me to improve and do better than I believe I could. Adam goes above and beyond to make you understand. Despite my school teacher had chosen an uncommon novel to study (Snow Country), Adam was able to provide me comprehensive and detailed support. I felt comfortable asking him anything, as he always provides honest and critical feedback. I wouldn't have enjoyed or attained my current level in English if it wasn't for Adam's guidance!

Brighten Youth Education Centre has provided me guidance for achieving my best in the IB exams. My best gain from them are their tutorial lessons which have catered directly to my needs. My teacher was also very professional in her field, allowing me to excel in my least confident subject in a short period of time. I assert that Brighten provides assistance to every student the right way.

對於包括我在內的一眾理科生來說，文憑試的中文科簡直是我們的天敵，而在中文科中取得第三級，也看似是遙不可及。在中學生涯中，自己的中文科成績一直不高，文言文和寫作更是「重災區」。不過，自從我開始跟李老師上課，我開始掌握中文科的應試、審題與文言文語譯技巧，更能了解近年試題的陷阱，避免自己重複犯錯。全靠李老師的專業教導，我最終在文憑試中「爆冷」取得第四級的佳績。

Although my Chemistry had been doing well, I still used a tutor to keep track of my studies and teach me more topics which have been very useful to enhance my understanding. Having taught by Nathan for three years, my interests in science have been further enriched. Although some topics are in fact outside the HKDSE syllabus, his teaching of these topics has been useful for me to understand chemical reactions and mechanisms completely. In the final stretch to the exams, I also had additional lessons with him on Physics and M2 so that helped me well prepared for the final battle for the DSE. I really appreciate him for his in-depth teaching and with this, I achieved Level 5* in Chemistry, 5 in Physics and 4 in M2.

As part of my plans to study in Germany, I have been learning German at Brighten with three tutors. All of them adopt a systematic approach in teaching vocabulary and grammar. Although I think it is a bit difficult, especially with the articles and ‘gender’ of nouns, they kept encouraging me to continue learning. It has been my pleasure to study with them.

Als Teil meiner Zukunftspläne, in Deutschland zu studieren, habe ich im Brighten Youth Educational Centre die letzten vier Jahre mit drei verschiedenen Lehrern Deutsch gelernt. Alle verwendeten einen systematischen Lehrstil zur Übermittlung von Wortschatz und Grammatik. Obwohl ich der Meinung bin, dass Deutsch keine einfache Sprache ist, speziell was die Artikel betrifft, haben mich meine Lehrer immer wieder ermutigt, nicht aufzugeben und mit meinem Unterricht weiter zu fahren. Es war mir ein Vergnügen, mit ihnen zu lernen.
