Our Story

NYUE was founded in 2020 with the vision to make learning fun for children in Hong Kong. It started off as a platform on social media sharing educational tips and beliefs which turned into a loving and supportive environment of learning and growth. Now, our work ranges from face-to-face and Zoom classes, materials development, teacher training to teaching and parenting consultation.
