Shadow education has been a popular topic among students in Hong Kong, since a lot of them have extra classes after school. Research has shown that shadow education is subordinated to mainstream schools, and it can provide a more supportive role to students who are in-need. In these days, scholars focused on discussing the impact that shadow education had on students, and students, teachers and parents’ point of views. However, there is hardly any research about the teaching methods inside shadow education. This is a very important topic, since teaching methods will affect the effectiveness of student’s learning. As a result, for this research, the main focus is on shadow education teaching method. The use of task cycle is also being used in this research, since studies showed that it can improve the student’s learning abilities. By using an organized teaching method in shadow education, this may improve the quality of shadow education. Moreover, this can open an area for more research to investigate the teaching methods in shadow education. Both qualitative and quantitative findings were used to explain the effectiveness of task cycle in a supplementary lesson, and students were able to express their opinions towards different teaching methods that were used for their supplementary lessons.
