Key Reports (three every year)
Using our networks of thousands of teachers and parents in China, we are able to conduct extensive research to track motivations, experiences, challenges, and intentions which shape your teacher recruitment and student enrolment in our two flagship reports “Teachers in China” and “Parents in China”.
Our final report, Schools’ Choice, gives member schools an opportunity to vote on the topic that they would most like our research team to dig into.

Our co-founder, Zhubei, has a growing social media channel with an audience primarily composed of parents in China who are considering or undertaking the international education path with their children. She visits your school, or runs a session online, promoting what you do to a whole new audience. We get to know your school inside out and share information positively with everyone we meet; especially in parent communities around China.

Consultancy (ongoing)
We work really closely with marketing and admissions teams so we know what they are promoting and leading in order for us to align it with the work we are doing in public reports, events or other activities. We love to help!
