What Educators Say

Trusted by schools, universities, and educators across Hong Kong

I am delighted to endorse the exceptional work of Story Jungle and JEMS Character Academy's collaborative English storytelling programmes. In my extensive experience teaching and observing literacy teaching activities in schools, I have found their Story-Telling approach highly fruitful. Their expertise and dedication are highly commendable, and I am confident their work would bring new impetus, elevating diverse students English skills while nurturing their character development through the transformative power of storytelling.

Vivian is an absolute wizard when it comes to language. As the brilliant mind behind the Story Jungle Education Center, she effortlessly weaves words into captivating stories, turning ordinary conversations into transformative journeys of self-discovery and mutual understanding. Vivian impact extends far beyond the realm of language acquisition; she helps students establish a solid foundation of self-regulated learning and holistic personal growth. Her genuine concern for her students and unwavering passion for literacy education deeply touched my heart.

I must commend Story Jungle for their Pre-DSE Preparation Class for our S.6 enhancement students. The class not only motivated our students but also inspired them to strive for excellence. The diverse range of materials provided by Story Jungle played a crucial role in sharpening their DSE skills, giving them the confidence they needed to excel. The students greatly appreciated the comprehensive resources available, which undoubtedly contributed to their success. I would also like to extend my heartfelt appreciation to Miss Karyn, whose patience, engaging teaching style, and dedication to addressing the individual needs of each student were truly remarkable.

The Story Jungle approach integrates English language teaching, values education, and life-coaching to deliver transformative programs for their students. In particular, their storytelling methodology has empowered our students to share their unique narratives and shine. We have seen our students flourish under this holistic curriculum. I fully endorse Story Jungle and their work.

Our sincere gratitude to Ms. Vivian and Ms. Karyn for running this whole year course for our students. They have learnt not only English but also nurtured a diligent attitude and immense interest in improving their English. Millions of thanks again for your effort and profession in preparing and conducting the classes.

Ms. Vivian effortlessly captivated the attention of 160 students, creating an atmosphere of excitement and enthusiasm. Her facilitation techniques were masterful, ensuring that every student felt engaged and actively involved in the lesson. The passion and energy she brought to the session were contagious, igniting a genuine love for learning in the hearts of the students.

The outcomes of Story Jungle's programmes have been truly transformative. We have witnessed tangible and measurable growth in our students' English language skills, including significant improvements in their speaking abilities, confidence, and overall command of the language.

Story Jungle delivered a valuable and enjoyable character education experience to our students, leaving a positive impact on them. The programme proved to be a perfect fit for our students.

Gina Lee
Both my kids started their first summer camp with Story Jungle since the age of 6 or 7 and continued until today. They both like the classes and teachers here because they don’t only teach them reading and writing, they actually cultivate their interests in reading and writing. Teachers become our kids’ friends and mentors. Not only do the teachers here have high standards and professional calibre, the individual attention and guidance afforded to kids are really remarkable and impressive! – Gina and Gerard’s Mum

Chloe Shek
Chloe has been with Story Jungle for more than three years and she enjoys all the learning and love she had received so far. Chloe has built up her self-belief and confidence in her training for speech festivals. The creative writing lessons have also improved her overall writing skills which is different from what she can learn from school. Most importantly, the relationship between Chloe and all the talented teachers are very positive and it allows Chloe to fully engage in the learning process.

‘Education is not the learning of facts, but the training of the mind to think.’ – Albert Einstein. 
We truly appreciate what Miss Vivian and Miss Sally have gone through with our sons, Isaac and Eden, over these years. It is not the number of books or the pages of exercises they have done; instead, the saying explains it all! Thank you!! – Dr. Hyde and Jacklyn Kong

在一次偶然的機會下,在書局內買了Story Jungle出版的故事袋装書 (Ms. Vivian’s Reading Club) 回家後,Alvin很努力的閱讀那本故事書及完成那些worksheet。 我心中也覺得這樣引導小朋友完成英文故事也真是很成功!所以那個暑假Alvin便開始在Story Jungle上Creative Reading and Writing, 他很喜歡呢!他起初也有點害怕,因他未習慣閱讀那麼長的故事,但慢慢的速度加快了,理解力也强了喔!Alvin更跟Miss Sally上了私人的英文班,他的英文無論在寫作或理解,Grammar也有明顯的進步。現在Alvin更愛上了上Sally的課,也不再害怕英文!他的自信心也在Sally的幫助下加强了!– Alvin’s mum 
Cheryl’s parents
Cheryl has won her first speech festival champion, wow! I am speechless. I couldn’t find words good enough to convey my gratitude. 
I used to find recite poetry a bit monotonous but you are so creative and humorous that you make your lessons incredibly fun. Moreover, the tailor-made practice material and audio you prepared for us to practice with Cheryl is extremely useful.
I am so grateful for your efforts. You are awesome! Thanks!

Hayden’s Mum
I would like to express my appreciation and thankfulness to you. You are not only an experienced English teacher, but also an expert on poetry reading. You coached Hayden with strategic skills, enthusiasm, patience and encouragement. Though this is the first time for Hayden to participate in the Hong Kong Schools Speech Festival, he got the 1st runner-up award. Thank you so much for all the things that you have done for him.

Yip Cheuk Wing
I have studied in Story Jungle since I was three and I am always thankful for what I have gained in these 15 years. I still remember myself as a kid having loads of fun reading interesting English books and practicing my speaking with the teachers through conversation. Not only have I developed a strong interest in English during my days in Story Jungle, but also built a solid foundation of vocabulary, grammar, writing and speaking skills etc. When I entered secondary school, I joined lessons that greatly enhanced my examination skills to prepare for DSE. I was able to attain 5** in English in view of the effort and patience of Story Jungle’s teachers, including Miss Vivian and Miss Sally, who have watched me grow up and helped me immensely improve my English. I am now studying Medicine in CUHK, and when I look back, I am utterly grateful to be given a chance to study in Story Jungle. Thank you!

Pui Ching Middle School's top scorer, Yip Cheuk-wing, scored 5** in Chinese, English, Liberal Studies, Biology, Chemistry, Economics and Extended Maths M1, and a 5* in Maths.

林嘉怡 林嘉翹
林嘉怡、林嘉翹姊妹,分別是小三及小五學生,林媽媽表示,Story Jungle不是以填鴨式的催谷學生,而是讓孩子閱讀圖書,再由老師引導討論書中內容,能敵發小朋友寫作、多角度看事物和思考“林太發覺,Story Jungle為小朋友挑選圖書,與家長選擇的角度不同,老師們能選擇合適的圖書,並每堂派一本書讓小朋友帶回家看;老師覺得小朋友思考能力較弱,便用不同材料教小朋友如何思考,: 跳出框框,甚至引導學生寫chapter book。


在Story Jungle老師的引導和鼓勵下,嘉怡和嘉翹不但都創作了自己的chapter book, 也參加朗誦比賽和寫作比賽,兩姊妹除了在朗誦比賽中獲獎外,嘉怡去年更在國際寫作比賽奪得獎項呢!嘉怡和嘉翹同在朗誦比賽獲獎,父母與她們一樣開心。

殷穎
K3學生殷穎的母親表示女兒在學校接觸英文的機會不算多,只會拿中文圖書看,因為她看不懂英文書的內容,但現在她會主動在書架拿英文書閱讀,雖然她未必能看懂每個字,但重要的是她不再害怕英文書。她又指Story Jungle的老師揀選的圖書合乎孩子的程度,文字不太多,也不會太深奧,孩子能閱讀,又明白當中內容,便越來越有興趣。

殷太謂女兒來上課總是開心的,因為她能明白老師說些甚麼,又有很多機會講英文,加上老師會提醒女兒在哪一方面有進步,哪些地方需要多溫習,效果也就更明顯,殷穎對英文越來越有興趣,做學校的英文讀書報告也覺得輕鬆了呢!
