4. Three things the numbers say

Sha Tin has 63 secondary schools against 54 primaries, so secondary places are relatively plentiful and demand clusters around the S1 transition and English-medium subjects.
Of 289 schools in the district, 93 are aided (32.2%) and 8 are direct-subsidy; most of the rest are private kindergartens, so always separate school types before reading the numbers.
English-medium secondary schools cluster around Sha Tin town centre and Ma On Shan, and pupils commonly cross stations to school, so scheduling follows the rail line rather than a walking radius.

Religion and gender: None 136, Christian 130, Catholic 19, Buddhist 3. Boys-only schools 1, girls-only 1, co-educational 287. Single-gender schools are few, yet this is the first column most families ask about.

5. Getting around the district

Main MTR stations: Sha Tin, Tai Wai, Che Kung Temple, City One and Ma On Shan 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.

Resource	What it covers
Lesson-prep guides, full index	one page per chapter, with a read-aloud script
Primary maths guides	20 chapters: fractions, area, rate, percentages
Primary English guides	12 chapters: grammar, reading, writing
Primary Chinese guides	12 chapters: comprehension, punctuation, rhetoric
Primary general studies guides	8 chapters: health, environment, science
Secondary (DSE) guides	ten subjects, 60-minute chapters mapped to DSE
IB guides	maths AA, biology and economics: method and evaluation

How many primary and secondary schools are there in Sha Tin?
