Miss Karen Chung
Teach For Hong Kong Alumnus (2017/18)

Karen is Teach For Hong Kong (TFHK) Alumnus. With the belief that every child deserves a fair start in education, she started joining activities that targeted at less privileged children since university. After graduating from her Social Sciences degree from HKU, she decided to join TFHK Fellowship Program to become a one-year full-time teacher serving at underprivileged primary school. With the necessary freedom provided as a Teaching Fellow for being ‘a different teacher’, she tailor-made the English lessons for her students as much as possible such as allowing ‘Iron Man’ to demonstrate grammar items and asking students to hit correct answers doing baseball toss. 

Knowing that living out the mission of Teach For Hong Kong to promote education equity does not cease as the Fellowship ends, she decided to take a bold step to enter a business field unknown to her. She now works for a multinational tech company as a business development junior, equipping herself with useful skill sets and knowledge. In the near future, she hopes to contribute back to education equity through her advanced experience and resources, and she knows the day is not far away.
