Why Hong Kong Island students
AP Mathematics on Hong Kong Island concentrates at Hong Kong International School (HKIS) in Tai Tam/Repulse Bay — the only major AP school on the island — alongside small self-study cohorts at HKIS-feeder families in Mid-Levels and Pok Fu Lam expat households targeting Stanford, MIT, Ivy League and UC Berkeley. The College Board May exam window runs early-to-mid May, which clashes with HKIS end-of-year assessment and follows the Lunar New Year revision break that compresses Q3 teaching. HKIS runs both AP and IB DP, so families often choose AP Mathematics specifically for US-track applications via the Common App with November (EA/ED) and January (RD) deadlines. The bottleneck is that AP-experienced tutors on Hong Kong Island are scarce — most local agencies push HKDSE or IB DP. Our AP Mathematics tutors are US-trained, College Board-certified, drill MCQ and FRQ to the official rubric, and run sessions in HKT evenings around HKIS calendar.
Exam boards we cover
The standard AP Mathematics course offered to Hong Kong International School (HKIS) in Tai Tam/Repulse Bay and self-study HK Island students and self-study candidates from Hong Kong Island preparing US university applications.
Syllabus coverage
Our AP Mathematics tutors cover the full specification with extra depth on the topics where Hong Kong Island students most consistently lose marks.
Limit laws, asymptotes and continuity criteria.
Derivative rules, implicit and related rates.
Optimisation, mean value theorem and curve sketching.
Riemann sums, FTC, substitution and parts.
Areas, volumes of revolution and average value.
Separable equations and slope fields.
Convergence tests, Taylor and Maclaurin series.
AP Calculus AB/BC FRQ and multiple-choice drilling.
We work with students at leading AP institutions across Hong Kong Island.
What we fix
How we fix it:Hong Kong Island schools shut for 7-10 days around Lunar New Year (late January or February), colliding with January mocks at ESF and HKIS and the Y12 IB IA submission window. We pre-load Mathematics content before CNY, run optional intensive sessions during the break for students who want to push, and resume with timed past-paper work the week schools reopen.
How we fix it:Island School, South Island School and West Island School run IB DP under the ESF framework — IAs in Mathematics are typically due Term 2 of Y12 and the EE first draft early Y13. We schedule Mathematics support around those non-negotiable deadlines and turn around IA drafts inside 48 hours against the IB rubric.
How we fix it:HKIS in Tai Tam runs the College Board AP May exam window (early-to-mid May). We build a 10-12 week Mathematics mock-prep block from January, drilling MCQ and FRQ against released exams and the official rubric — not generic AP review books.
How we fix it:Local HK Island families at schools like St Paul's Co-educational College (Mid-Levels) and Diocesan Boys' School often choose between HKDSE and IB DP in Y10. We advise on the Mathematics content overlap, the EDB-recognised university pathways (HKU, CUHK, HKUST) and how each maps to overseas applications.
How we fix it:Hong Kong Island Y12/Y13 students apply in parallel to HKU/CUHK/HKUST (JUPAS for HKDSE, non-JUPAS for IB/A-Level/AP), UCAS (Oct/Jan) and Common App (Nov/Jan). Our Mathematics tutors prep subject content alongside admissions tests (TMUA, MAT, BMAT-replacements) and interview practice.
Why ComboTutors
Our Hong Kong Island IB DP Mathematics tutors are IB examiners matched to ESF schemes of work and CIS/German Swiss/HKIS variants. We turn around IA drafts inside 48 hours and drill Paper 1/2/3 against the exact May session boundaries — not generic IB content.
For HKIS families in Tai Tam and Repulse Bay we offer College Board-certified AP Mathematics tutors who drill MCQ and FRQ to the official rubric, plus Common App and US admissions support for Stanford, MIT, Ivy League and UC Berkeley targets.
Hong Kong Island in-person Mathematics tutors typically charge HKD 550-800/hour. Our online tutors are CIE, Edexcel, IB and College Board examiners — deeper subject depth, scheduled around HKU/CUHK/HKUST and UCAS/Common App deadlines, from HKD 450/hour.

AP Mathematics in Hong Kong Island
Island School in Mid-Levels runs Cambridge IGCSE in Years 10-11 and then IB Diploma in Y12-13 for Mathematics. South Island School (Aberdeen) and West Island School (Pok Fu Lam) follow the same ESF framework. We match AP Mathematics tutors to the exact Cambridge code or IB HL/SL track.
Yes — HKIS in Tai Tam/Repulse Bay is the dominant AP school on Hong Kong Island. Our AP Mathematics tutors are College Board-certified, drill MCQ and FRQ to the official rubric, and schedule around the May exam window in HKT.
Local HK Island schools like St Paul's Co-educational College and Diocesan Boys' School offer both HKDSE and IB DP routes. We advise on Mathematics content overlap, JUPAS vs non-JUPAS routes to HKU/CUHK/HKUST, and how each pathway maps to overseas applications.
Yes. The 7-10 day Lunar New Year break in late January or February is our peak intensive period. We pre-load AP Mathematics content before CNY and run optional intensive sessions during the break for students preparing for ESF mocks or the May session.
We align AP Mathematics sessions to the school's scheme of work, IA/EE deadlines and mock dates — whether that is ESF (Island/South Island/West Island), CIS in North Point, German Swiss on The Peak, HKIS in Tai Tam or Singapore International in Aberdeen. Weekly parent summary included.
AP Mathematics tutoring starts from HKD 450/hour — competitive against the HKD 550-800/hour standard for in-person tutors on Hong Kong Island. First trial lesson free, no minimum-term contracts, lessons in HKT.
