Avid Education is an initiative by Chris Maxted, a British-born tutor helping Hong Kong students achieve their best in English, maths and the Arts.
'I came from France to Hong Kong in year 10 to study for my IGCSE, and was an ‘E’ grade student at that time. [...] I achieved an ‘A’ at my IGCSEs - a goal that would have been impossible without Chris as tutor.' GABRIEL WINCKLER / READ ON
‘Learning English this way was super fun and efficient. [...] Chris taught English to our three children for four years, starting when we arrived in Hong Kong in 2011. At the time they were complete beginners. […] Less than 2 years after starting their lessons with him, our younger two were both admitted to the bilingual section at FIS, and our eldest achieved A+ in IGCSE in 2016 clearly thanks to Chris’ teaching. Even today in 2020, the kids still remember Chris as ‘the best teacher they ever had’.' ELODIE ASSELIN / READ ON
'[Chris] is able to disclose the learning patterns of his students and subsequently chooses the right concepts to develop their skills, at the same time keeping them motivated. [...] Our oldest daughter even came 2nd in a global writing competition with the New York Times. Of course, their grades improved and they are now among the best at school.' CORDULA & BERNHARD KOTANKO / READ ON
'We hired tutor after tutor, only for them to bring some store-bought phonics writing books and be gone within a matter of lessons, but Chris didn't do this. He promptly diagnosed the issues I was facing and helped me understand English from a more systematic standpoint. This was exactly what I needed.' RILEY EASTER / READ ON
'Our children are not only excelling and exceeding their respective curriculum standards, they are motivated and passionate about their English studies. There is no doubt in our minds that Chris has played a critical role in their development and we could not be more satisfied and grateful.' JOHN CHANG / READ ON
‘Both our children benefitted immensely from Chris’s expertise as a tutor, his never-ending patience, optimism and good humour. He was infallibly punctual, always respectful of our needs and concerns as parents, and gave detailed feedback. […] Our daughter got her BTEC and went on to study at HKU Space; our son achieved A and A* at his English GCSEs and has gone on to do very well in his 4 A-Levels.’ FRANCES DE SAINT GERMAIN / READ ON
