What Parents Say

After moving from Hong Kong to London, our two daughters have been learning with The Shan Academy for the past two years.

Shannon is positive, loving, and devoted to creating a supportive environment where children feel confident to express themselves and thrive. She is not only an excellent tutor but also a mentor who inspires growth and resilience in her students.

The Shan Academy's holistic approach ensures that students develop both academically and personally. Lessons go beyond traditional English content, focusing on critical thinking, creative writing, and presentation skills while covering a wide range of engaging topics.

The Shan Academy's teaching style is unlike anything I've experienced before! Lessons explore important global topics like empathy, helping others, and giving back — things that aren't often discussed but really matter. The approach makes learning meaningful and engaging, and I've gained a deeper understanding of the world while improving my skills.
