Online classes end; in-person lessons resume

Half a year of online classes finally came to an end in the last quarter of 2021. From October 2021 HLS resumed in-person classes with an influx of new students joining throughout October and November.

We enjoyed the online classes despite the difficulties. There were some highlights that wouldn't have happened in normal class settings. For example, we held an online Masterchef Competition, a Merdeka modelling contest, and a Talent Show.




We were so excited to see the wealth of talent among our students! It's a pretty long video (above) but hope you'll enjoy it.


We received loads of fantastic entries for the HLS Masterchef competition too. It was really hard to choose a top ten; we ended up with over a dozen best clips!





To celebrate Malaysia's Independence Day (Hari Merdeka), we organised an online merdeka photo contest and awarded the best entries, some of which you can see below:

We then spent an afternoon driving around Kuantan to hand out prizes to all of the Merdeka Photo Contest winners. It was lovely to see our students face to face in the middle of a lengthy virtual class scenario.

There were some good moments during the online classes, but we are now really happy to resume our in-person classes once more. Welcome back to Horne Learning Services!

ENGLISH INTERNET HUNT!

Hi there everyone! You have successfully made it to the next instruction on your English Internet Hunt.

I hope you'll enjoy this little challenge as we try to make online learning as fun and interactive as possible. 

What you need to do next is go to my Youtube channel (Duncan's Family Channel) where you will find a video titled "Next Step." Watch that video carefully for your next instruction.

Peace out!



(This is part of an online weekly exercise of bouncing around the internet exclusively for our students' pleasure!)

Guild Exam Awards 2019



At Guild Awards Ceremony with examiner from Australia, Helen Little, and my students Choi Yan and Abby, who both scored the highest marks in Malaysia for their English Communication exam categories


I travelled to KL for the latest Guild Exam Awards Ceremony, which was held on 24th November, 2019. The venue was The Gardens Mall. It was terribly exciting to be there with our students and to see them be awarded for excelling in their English Communication exams. 

Helen Little was the lady who examined them in 2017 and 2018, so it was great to see her once more and celebrate the moment with her.

I also received an award for Horne Learning Services for our continued partnership with Guild Exam over the years.

Guild Exam 2016/2017

Horne Learning Services is in partnership with Guild Exam Australia. We are delighted to bring to our students an opportunity to sit an English Communication exam with a professional examiner working for Guild Exam. Certificates are recognised in most good educational institutions in both Malaysia and Australia.

Here are our students who sat for the exam in late 2016 and received their certificates in January 2017. They all did such a good job!
