About Me

I’m Deborah Debes. I graduated from the University of Cambridge in 1997 with an honours degree in History.

I have been tutoring students in Hong Kong since 2001 and gained my PGDE from the University of Hong Kong in 2007, gaining a Best Teacher Award. I did my practicum teaching at Island School.

From 2004 until 2023 I was a Senior Tutor at AMG Ltd. in English and History for students aged 8-18. I have taught UKISET, CIE 11+ and 13+, IGCSE, HKDSE, IB, SATS, NAPLAN, IELTs, LSAT and AP History. I also have extensive experience in successfully helping prepare students to enter top British private schools, including scholarships for Wycombe Abbey, Winchester and Harrow.

I place a lot of emphasis on making lessons engaging and providing materials which are of interest to the individual student so that they enjoy lessons. I believe students learn best when they are motivated and encouraged, which means tailoring the materials and style of lesson that brings out the best in each individual.
