Our team

The people who make the calls for your child

The important calls about U.S. education shouldn't all be made by counselors who only know application season as it looks from China. The people below weigh in at different stages. Names and photos are placeholders for now and will be replaced with real details.

A few principles about our mentors

What matters isn't nationality — it's where someone actually sits

We don't talk about "foreign teachers" or claim that one background understands America better than another. What's actually valuable is whether someone genuinely works inside North American education and deals with the system day to day.

Not just for application season

Our North American practitioners weigh in on long-range direction, course sequencing, the value of activities and research, whether a competition is worth it, and application strategy — not just a final read on an essay.

The Chinese-speaking team handles communication

Day to day, you only deal with the Chinese-speaking team. Communication, paperwork, progress tracking and scheduling all sit with them. No family has to bridge the language gap themselves.
