How SkyHive works
Diagnostic. Plan. Practice. Repeat.
The entire platform is built around official exam objectives. Every practice task is scored and analysed, then used to plan the next week's lessons.
Built on the public DSE / IB assessment objectives, not a black box.
Parent dashboard summarises progress in plain English and 中文.
Practice questions are reviewed by a teacher before they reach your child.
Step 01
Diagnostic, free 30-minute session
We assess your child's current level with a short test designed by the teacher. You receive a full report showing strengths, weaknesses, and what to work on next.

Who we are
Built by a Hong Kong teacher who left the system.
SkyHive was founded by a registered Hong Kong teacher with years of secondary school experience, including three years as Head of Biology. She left the school system to follow her passion, and while tutoring on the side she saw a problem: students deserve quality education, but truly qualified teachers are often too expensive. She built SkyHive to change that. Every decision about curriculum, group sizes, and assessment comes from classroom experience.

Founder of SkyHive · Former Department Head of Biology
天巢學院 · 創辦人
I built SkyHive because I wanted to teach the way I always wished my own department could: small enough to listen, structured enough to measure, and effective enough to actually move a student's understanding. Beyond that, I believe deeply in learning together. A good community doesn't just help you study, it stays with you. Once students start making real connections, we'll bring them together through events where they can work, build, and innovate alongside each other, in the classroom and beyond.

For parents
The questions Hong Kong parents actually ask us.
We have answered these enough times to know they are the real ones. Honest answers below. No marketing pivots.
“How will I know my child is improving?”
You receive a fortnightly report, written in plain English and 中文, showing assessment-objective progress, the topics that moved up a band, and what next week's lesson will focus on. No vague “great progress.” Specifics, with the work attached.
“Is this worth the fee?”
We sit deliberately between cheap large-class centres and 1-on-1 tuition. Six students lets a registered teacher actually teach, not lecture, not babysit. Before you commit, every family is offered a free 30-minute consultation with the founder to walk through the diagnostic and recommend the right tier.
“How is this different from a 補習社?”
We do not run 200-seat lectures, we do not photocopy a celebrity tutor's notes, and we do not sell branded pencil cases. We are a small academy of registered teachers. The closest analogue is a private school department. That is the bar we hold ourselves to.

The fortnightly report is the first time I've actually understood where my son was strong and where he was weak. We got specifics, not “他好用心.”

Parent · DSE F.6 · Causeway Bay
Six students sounds small, but it's why I improved. I had to actually explain my answer in the room, not just nod along to a recorded lecture.

Karen W.
Student · IBDP Y2 · Physics HL
As a teacher myself, I was sceptical of “AI” claims. SkyHive's platform is just a clean way to track AOs, and the teacher still writes the plan. That convinced me.

FAQ
The honest details.
If we haven't answered your question, write to skyhiveacademy@gmail.com. A teacher will reply, not a chatbot.
How does the free trial lesson work?+
You book a 30-minute slot online or by WhatsApp. The teacher gives a short diagnostic on the topic of your choice, then sits with you and your child for 10 minutes to walk through the AO breakdown and recommend a stream. No pressure to enrol. Many families need a week to decide.
Are lessons in person, online, or hybrid?+
Both. Our Central and Causeway Bay studios run in-person classes; we also stream every group live for students who can't attend that week. Recorded lessons remain in your platform for the rest of the term.
What happens if my child misses a class?+
Every term includes one free make-up class: either by joining another group at the same level, or via a 30-minute 1-on-1 with the teacher. Additional make-ups are HK$200.
How do you handle data privacy on the AI platform?+
Student data is stored on servers physically located in Hong Kong, encrypted at rest. We never sell or share data with third parties. You can request a full export or deletion of your child's account at any time, and we comply with the Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance.
Can I verify a teacher's EDB registration?+
Yes. Every teacher's EDB registration number is available on request after enrolment, and you can verify it directly via the Education Bureau's public register. We expect parents to do this. It's the point of the credential.
How do I know this is the right fit before I commit?+
We do not offer refunds on completed terms. Fees are committed once a term begins. Instead, every prospective family is offered a free 30-minute consultation with the founder. After the trial lesson and diagnostic, we sit with you to discuss whether SkyHive is the right fit, and which tier suits your child. If we do not think we can help, we will tell you so directly, and recommend an alternative.
Do you teach in Cantonese, English, or both?+
DSE classes default to Cantonese with English subject vocabulary. IB and MYP classes default to English. Most teachers can switch fluidly. If a particular concept lands better in 中文, that's how it gets explained.
How do you decide which group my child joins?+
Two factors: the diagnostic result, and the schedule that works for your family. After the trial, we propose two or three groups. Children of the same school year are placed together where possible; we never up-stream a student who isn't ready.
