[The content of this article has been produced by our advertising partner.] A Hong Kong education pioneer For almost 30 years, the Hong Kong-based academic centre has been a pioneer in the ever-changing educational landscape of Hong Kong and Asia, maximising students' career horizons. NTK's ability to adapt teaching styles to the constant changes in international curricula and exams, and recognise the demands of the seemingly unfathomable expectations of university admissions' offices, has kept the organisation as Hong Kong's education leader since 1996. "If parents come to us, then they know that we will make a difference," said T. K. Ng, founder and managing director of NTK Academic Group. "For us, it is our passion to ensure that these students, all students, do not lose hope and they know that there are people out there who believe in them. We all work together towards a better future for them and, quite frankly, for the world. I doubt few people can argue that having a more educated population is a negative mission." NTK's mission towards academic excellenceIn recognition of the company's mission, NTK's Causeway Bay and Kowloon City campuses offer classes with tailored courses for all international curricula, and private lessons for students of all ages, subjects, and curricula. The small class sizes and customised lesson plans and course materials have assisted students achieve extraordinary results in the IBDP, I/GCSE, A-Levels, AP, SAT, ACT, GMAT, LNAT, and UCAT exams. The main reason for NTK's long-time success is its most valued asset: its in-house training programme which produces highly qualified educators with expertise in a variety of subjects, curricula, and skills. The majority of its 60+ teachers hold master's degrees and many hold multiple master's degrees and/or doctoral degrees. Many of NTK's educational management team have over two decades of experience working in the education industry worldwide. "Our educators are not only academically accomplished, but they are also qualified academic consultants, certified counselors, and official examiners. Because most have studied and taught international curricula for more than 20 years, they update their knowledge about not only academic changes, but also social and political changes in academia. We aim to provide accessibility to academic success for all students," said Mr. Ng. The undeniable results of NTK's experienceThe exam results of NTK's students are undeniable. In 2025, NTK had 9 students score a perfect 45, 14 students score 44, and 10 students score 43. Additionally, NTK students earned more than 130 top grades of 7 in IB subjects. Over the past five years, more than 160 students have achieved scores between 43 and 45, and over 97% of NTK students scored above Hong Kong's average IB score of 36.2. To put these scores into perspective, the average IBDP score of the UK Russell Group and the US Ivy League universities' and HKU and CUHK's medical programmes' admissions is 41. NTK offers further recognition for its high-achieving students through the H. H. Ng Scholarship Scheme, named in honour of the founder's father. Why students choose NTKWith a plethora of online tuition centres, one may wonder, why would students choose to study with NTK? NTK offers not only in-person tuition and academic consulting services, but also provides online services for students who wish to continue their educational support whilst studying abroad. The difference is in the personal connections the students and parents make with their educators. Everyone involved in the process understands that educational success starts with trust and continues with authentic care about the students' academic journeys. All of NTK's educators are full-time and in-house employees; they are not distributed around the globe as part-time, short-term contributors to students' studies. "All of our staff are educators, not just the teachers. The education service officers, administrators, technicians, publishers, operations management ... we all care about the quality of education we provide," Mr. Ng said. "We take pride in knowing that our students and parents trust us in giving them a peace of mind that we put their interests first." Looking to the futureNTK continues its ambitions to maximise success for the next generation of leaders. All of NTK's classrooms are equipped with the latest digital education technology such as campus-wide Wi-Fi access, touch-screen, screen-sharing smartboards, and wide-screen projectors. "I am proud of my team because I have been fortunate enough to achieve my dream of building an organisation which focuses on the true purpose of education: meeting the needs of students and improving our future," said Mr. Ng. "For NTK, success means that students' goals come first. They always have and they always will."
