Tutoring by district · Yau Tsim Mong

Yau Tsim Mong has 132 schools with 29 primaries against 35 secondaries, six more secondaries (20.7%), among the highest secondary surpluses in Hong Kong. Several MTR lines cross the district — Mong Kok, Yau Ma Tei, Jordan and Tsim Sha Tsui run along the southern tip — and pupils arrive from every district, so demand here follows the school rather than the home.

4. Three things the numbers say

29 primaries to 35 secondaries, six more secondaries (20.7%); secondary schools here draw from across Hong Kong, so schedules usually have to fit journeys from the New Territories East and Hong Kong Island.
Only 22 kindergartens plus 46 kindergarten-cum-child-care centres make 68 early-years settings, more than half of the 132 total, while just 64 schools are primary or secondary — the reverse of the territorial pattern, so split the two layers first.
Aided 36 (27.3%), private 85 (64.4%), direct-subsidy 6 and government 4; with 3 boys, 5 girls and 124 co-ed schools, and by religion 81 with none, 39 Christian and 12 Catholic.

Religion and gender: None 81, Christian 39, Catholic 12. Boys-only schools 3, girls-only 5, co-educational 124. Single-gender schools are few, yet this is the first column most families ask about.

5. Getting around the district

Main MTR stations: Mong Kok, Yau Ma Tei, Jordan, Tsim Sha Tsui, Olympic and Austin 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
