4. Three things the numbers say

32 primaries to 28 secondaries, four fewer secondaries (-12.5%); the whole district covers roughly six square kilometres, so school-net distances are short and families are less willing to leave it for secondary school than elsewhere in Kowloon.
Aided 51 (34.5%), private 92 (62.2%, mostly kindergartens), 3 private-independent, 1 government and 1 direct-subsidy school: there is almost no direct-subsidy option, so comparisons land on religion and medium of instruction among aided schools.
Ten girls schools, 2 boys schools and 136 co-ed schools; by religion, 55 are Christian (37.2%), 38 have none, 34 are Catholic and 8 are Confucian, Buddhist or Taoist.

Religion and gender: Christian 55, None 38, Catholic 34, Confucian, Buddhist and Taoist 8. Boys-only schools 2, girls-only 10, co-educational 136. Single-gender schools are few, yet this is the first column most families ask about.

5. Getting around the district

Main MTR stations: Wong Tai Sin, Diamond Hill, Choi Hung and Lok Fu 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.
