The cheapest English lessons in Hong Kong for adults

Who we are?

English for Asia is a teacher training centre, where people come to learn how to be English Teachers. All the courses are at our centrally located office in Sheung Wan, 2 minutes’ walk from the MTR.

What we do

Every month, we offer 20 - 30 hours of assessed teaching practice for our trainee teachers, who all need to have native English level fluency to enroll. Each of these trainee teachers need to teach 6 hours of classes in one month and all these lessons are assessed by experienced teacher trainers. Each trainee is offered help with their lesson plans and they are expected to use current teaching techniques and methodologies.

Why come here?

1. You will receive a free placement test to assess your level.
2. Each month, you will have 20 to 30 hours of lessons to improve your speaking, writing, reading and listening.
3. You will have a variety of teachers and different accents, with a lot of life experiences to share.
4. You will make friends and be part of the EFA community.
5. If you study with us for more than 240 hours, you will be able to take a GESE exam, which is an international certificate to assess your speaking.
