4. Three things the numbers say

Of 314 schools, 223 are private (71.0%), and most of those are kindergartens or child-care centres; only the 122 primary and secondary schools affect tutoring plans, so check the school type before reading the numbers.
There are 12 more primaries than secondaries (67 against 55, so 17.9% fewer secondary places relatively), which is why P5 families usually start preparing for the internal secondary allocation early, on Chinese reading and maths word problems together.
Aided 69 (22.0%), direct-subsidy 8, government 7, ESF 5 and private-independent 2: all four operating models sit inside one district, which is what sets Kowloon City apart.

Religion and gender: None 168, Christian 113, Catholic 27, Buddhist 5. Boys-only schools 6, girls-only 15, co-educational 293. Single-gender schools are few, yet this is the first column most families ask about.

5. Getting around the district

Main MTR stations: Kowloon Tong, Lok Fu, Ho Man Tin, Hung Hom, To Kwa Wan and Sung Wong Toi stations. Door-to-door travel between a school and a lesson usually stays under half an hour; when a timetable leaves only one free hour, an online lesson beats crossing stations.

Fix the school station first, then the tutor station, and only then look at travel time: inside one district the difference between stations can reach twenty minutes.

6. Lesson-prep guides that match

Tutoring does not start from nothing. Each guide below names the prior knowledge, a 45 or 60 minute lesson flow, a read-aloud script and an exit check, so tutor and parent can follow one process.

Primary maths guides	20 chapters: fractions, area, rate, percentages
