Kiki has improved so much since joining the Chatroom classes!
The class atmosphere is relaxed, and she really enjoys attending. Seeing her gradually build confidence in spoken English makes me so happy as a parent. Highly recommended!

A heartfelt thank you to all the teachers for their dedicated guidance and nurturing of Natalie!
In just short of seven months, we have witnessed remarkable progress in our child with our own eyes. However, with the increase in after-school activities in the new semester, we are truly reluctant to temporarily pause her classes due to scheduling conflicts.
We are particularly grateful for the teachers' attentive instruction and their continuous, professional English assessments. The monthly learning feedback is incredibly insightful and forward-looking, which has been immensely helpful for us when guiding her at home. Natalie also truly loves her classes here!
At the same time, we would like to express our gratitude to the admin staff for being so responsible, efficient, and clear in their communication. Once our schedule permits in the future, we will definitely bring Natalie back to continue learning! Thank you once again to all the teachers and staff!

Out of all the extracurricular activities I’ve enrolled Joya in, choosing Monkey Tree for the past three years is truly my most regret-free decision.
Over these three years, Joya naturally encountered quite a few learning challenges and obstacles. Fortunately, Venus and Cara constantly communicated with us along the way, and the teachers did their utmost to help Joya overcome her difficulties. This also guided us as parents on how to properly support her at home. As time went on, she made continuous progress. Then, one day, I suddenly realized that Joya could fluently read a relatively challenging English book all by herself. Honestly, as a mother, I was deeply moved and immensely grateful!
Later on, when Joya had to take her class progression assessment—which required reading an English book aloud—after communicating with Venus, she offered unconditional help to assist Joya with her reading practice, enabling her to pass successfully. I am beyond grateful! ????
That is why I am truly thankful to everyone at Shatin Monkey Tree. They feel just like friends, which gave me complete peace of mind placing Joya in their care.

George has been taking English classes at Monkey Tree for a while now, and his progress is remarkably clear! The teachers are patient and skilled, making the lessons lively and engaging. My child is no longer afraid to speak English and now willingly takes the initiative to use it. The curriculum is perfectly paced for children, and the learning environment is great. The two front desk staff members are also exceptionally patient with the kids!

My child has been studying with Monkey Tree from K2 all the way to Primary 2. Due to our child's individual learning needs, we maintained continuous communication with the team at the Shatin Citylink Plaza branch to explore the best teaching approach. Thanks to their unwavering dedication, we ultimately found the tailored learning path that suits our child best. We are deeply grateful for the patience, understanding, and incredible collaboration from the teachers and front desk staff over the years. Our child has benefited immensely, even achieving 1st place overall in English at school for the entire academic year! Beyond gaining solid knowledge, our child has truly felt the abundant love and care from everyone here.

Wiley has been studying at Monkey Tree for a while now, and I've noticed huge improvements in his English communication. His vocabulary has expanded significantly, and he is now so brave and confident when speaking English with others!
Whenever I receive the photos you send of Wiley in class, I can see how happy he is. A big thank you to the teachers and staff! It truly shows how much he enjoys his lessons. Of course, special thanks go to the front desk staff for their wonderful care and attention. Balancing household responsibilities can be quite tough, so I am often unable to pick Wiley up on time. The two staff members at Monkey Tree always patiently keep him company while waiting for me, and I am deeply grateful for their kindness.
When Wiley’s friends asked where he was learning English, Monkey Tree was the very first place I recommended—and they have already enrolled!

Alvis has been learning at Monkey Tree since he was 4 years old, starting from Chatroom as a little boy all the way up to Trinity now. The teachers are dedicated and responsible, and the staff are always warm and friendly. After class, my son can recount what he learned at home and even apply it in his daily life. He has made huge progress, especially in vocabulary building and sentence usage!

Faith has been taking classes at Monkey Tree for a full year now, and she looks forward to seeing her teachers every time before class. She always tells us how much fun lessons are because she gets to play and learn together with her teachers. We have also seen incredible progress in her—she is no longer afraid to speak English, is very willing to give things a try, and eagerly shares what she learns in class with us. The atmosphere in the classroom is truly wonderful, so we feel that learning here has been immensely rewarding!

Hatti loved attending classes at Monkey tree and would tell me every day that she had a great time in class and that the teachers were very good to her. She talks to me in English when she comes home and believes she can continue to improve under the teachings of her teachers.

My experience with Monkey Tree goes back to 2016, when my elder son started attending English classes at the Sheung Shui branch for several years, and I was very satisfied with everything until classes ended due to the pandemic.
When it came to my younger son, Jason, Monkey Tree was naturally our top and essential choice for his English classes. All the staff and teachers at the Shatin branch are extremely loving and of exceptionally high quality, making kids truly love going to class here. Because of this, we also enrolled him in Mandarin classes to support his Chinese learning.
Unfortunately, Jason fell ill in 2025 and had to take a break from school for nearly a year. Before he officially returned to primary school, we re-enrolled him at Monkey Tree first to help him transition back into learning.
Monkey Tree is a place that gives parents peace of mind and brings joy to children. Whenever parents ask me about starting extracurricular classes for their little ones, Monkey Tree is always my top recommendation.
Especially all the staff at the Shatin branch—they have maintained such a high standard for the learning environment and atmosphere, which is truly remarkable!

SamSam has been learning English at Monkey Tree in Citylink Plaza for over three years now. We have consistently maintained a schedule of two different English lessons a week, including Phonics, Trinity, Reading and Speaking, etc.
We are very grateful to all the teachers he has had and the operators, and we are thankful that we chose Monkey Tree.
SamSam is a very lively boy, and the teachers are all very patient and attentive in their teaching, while being understanding of his mischievous nature. He always leaves the classroom very happily.
Last year, he started P1 and had a lot more English homework, but he can easily handle all of it. Even his English teacher has remarked that his foundation in English is very solid. This is the result of his Phonics learning at Monkey Tree, and I often share this experience with my friends and family. So even after completing the entire Phonics course, SamSam and I have chosen to stay with Monkey Tree to continue learning other courses at a more advanced level.
I'd also like to praise the operators Miss Venus and Miss Cara. They are warm and courteous; on one occasion when SamSam felt unwell during a lesson, they provided immediate assistance and notified me straight away. They were so caring and professional. They also always reply promptly whenever we need to apply for leave or reschedule lessons. I'm very grateful to both of you.

Jason started learning phonics at Monkey Tree around K3, and he has always loved taking classes here. His English is also much better than most of his peers. Even though he is now in Primary 6 and facing heavy academic pressure, he still really wants to attend classes here. In fact, coming to class has become one of his ways to decompress!

I am deeply grateful for the guidance and care Monkey Tree has provided to Elke over the past few years! The teachers and staff are exceptionally loving and dedicated to teaching, making every class an enjoyable experience that she truly looks forward to.
Last month, Elke participated in the Hong Kong Top Scholar Competition and won 2nd Runner-Up in English! This outstanding achievement is a true testament to the teachers' devoted nurturing. I am so thankful to every single teacher and staff member at Monkey Tree for their heartfelt dedication!

Tsz Yuen has been studying at Monkey Tree for over a year now, and I can see that he always really enjoys coming to class. He has also surprised me many times because he will sometimes suddenly speak English words or sentences that I have never taught him. Even while eating, he can read out an English sentence on a tissue box! This proves that the teachers put their hearts into teaching, enabling students to truly absorb what they are taught.
At the same time, I also want to thank the front desk staff so much for their care and affection for Tsz Yuen.That is why I will continue letting Tsz Yuen learn English here. Thank you all!

Carina has made such incredible progress since taking the Chatroom classes! Lately at home, she even takes the initiative to mimic what the teachers teach, such as practicing phonics just like them. She uses English words much more frequently in everyday life, and she recognizes vocabulary so much faster now! During class, she catches onto what the teacher is saying very quickly, and her enthusiasm for learning has grown tremendously. The teachers are genuinely dedicated and put their hearts into teaching—thank you so much, Monkey Tree!

Before joining Monkey Tree last September, Riley barely spoke any English. Just two months after starting, her kindergarten teacher told me she had become the class's English helper, actively answering every question! Now in K2, her transition into Phonics has been completely seamless, and she can even speak in full sentences in her Trinity class. She is so thrilled every time she goes to class! Thank you to all the teachers for their dedicated instruction, and the center's communication has been wonderfully smooth. Truly grateful!

Charlotte enjoys every single English class. Interacting with her teachers has improved her speaking skills and helped her stay completely comfortable and open with English.
She loves singing along and gets fully engaged in the classroom games. I hope the teachers can continue to guide and lead her to learn in such a joyful environment! Keep up the great work! Thank you!

Justin really loves going to classes at Monkey Tree! He said the lessons are super fun because the teachers incorporate play into their teaching, and he truly enjoys the collaborative learning atmosphere in class. Having just entered Primary 1, Justin feels most confident in English compared to other subjects. He can now read short stories independently and read them out loud. For P1 vocabulary, he applies the Phonics methods taught in class to spell out new words, which saves him from pure rote-memorization. In addition, the center staff and teachers have been extremely helpful. They guided us on how to use apps like Monkey Town to support Justin’s learning in daily life. These apps allow him to 'learn through play'—Justin finds the games so engaging that he even invites us parents to join in and play together!

To Venus, Cara, and the entire teaching team at Monkey Tree (Shatin Citylink Branch): Time flies! It’s hard to believe that Yi Kiu has been attending different English courses at Monkey Tree for two whole years now. Over these past two years, my wife and I have witnessed her growth and progress with our own eyes, and it truly warms our hearts.
I still remember her very first Chat Room class, where Yi Kiu was both nervous and shy. We are deeply grateful to Venus for being so thoughtful—she proactively invited us to walk into the classroom with her and used fun, lighthearted games to help her settle in. That made a world of difference in building her trust and sense of security with the native English teachers.
Additionally, we would like to give special praise to Venus and Cara! You are both always so dedicated, carefully gathering feedback from the teachers and summarizing it into clear, easy-to-understand messages. Sharing her learning progress and areas for improvement with us regularly gives us immense peace of mind.
Now, Yi Kiu looks forward to every single lesson with great excitement, and she even speaks English with us at home with remarkable confidence. Seeing her transformation fills us with immense gratitude.
Lastly, here is what Yi Kiu wanted to say to you herself: "Every Monkey Tree activity is so much fun! Not only have I learned lots of new vocabulary, but I also get little prizes, which makes me super happy!" Thank you all once again for your dedication, warmth, and wonderful companionship!
