The co-founder of HKIL, Dominique Chasset, was awarded the Ordre National du Mérite (“Knight of the National Order of Merit”).
Our dynamic team of teachers is the key to our success. Our teaching team includes some of the most qualified and
experienced teachers in Hong Kong.
All our teachers are native speakers and possess professional qualifications in teaching at Diploma, Masters or Doctorate level. Furthermore, all HKIL teachers are required to have a minimum of 2-5 years of extensive experience in teaching their language to foreign students.
Most of our teachers are recruited overseas and all are very carefully selected. In addition to their strong educational background and professional teaching experience, we choose our teachers for their positive attitude, enthusiasm, and pleasant personality. They are truly motivated, and genuinely passionate about language teaching.
To ensure that all of our teachers are kept abreast of the latest teaching materials and methodologies, we also hold regular teachers’ meetings, as well as professional training and development workshops.
Through our teachers’ expertise and enthusiasm, learning a new language becomes a truly rewarding and enjoyable experience.
