'Used to' is definitely one that some Hong Kong students struggle with as it can be used in different contexts:
I 'used to' teach English to the Hong Kong police.
I am 'used to' taking long flights.

1️⃣ He used to working on weekends.
2️⃣ He’s used to working on weekends.

And these beautiful people, too. I'm lucky to always be treated like family by my students and their parents. Thank you so much, and it's great to Ashley always at the top of his English class.

My Hong Kong family, and 15 years of teaching this fine young man, helping raise him from a three-year old boy into a gentleman.

2026 will be an important year for me as I transition away from traditional classroom teaching and focus more on online tutorials, video tutorials, exam preparation, English materials as Barlow English, but also launch Barlow Studios, where I'll be developing and publishing educational games and software (currently I'm working on two separate projects,) and Condemned75 Studios, where I'll be developing traditional video games (currently I'm working on four separate projects.)
If all goes well, I hope to grow to a point where I'll be able to recruit staff in Hong Kong, particularly an International Marketing Manager.
