Jason Peng - Chief Operating Officer

Jason Peng is a well-known and influential education consultant. He has been involved in international education consulting for over 10 years.

Through visits to, and consultations with, hundreds of institutions in the United States, Britain, Canada and Australia, Mr Peng has developed an acute understanding of Western education systems and associated immigration policies and regulations. As a result of this, more than 5,000 students have successfully studied abroad under the guidance of Mr Peng – an achievement he is immensely proud of.

The culmination of these rich experiences has been the development of Mr Peng’s signal contribution to the education industry – that of the unique concept of an International Education Advisory. This concept encompasses the people-oriented principle that education consulting should focus on the broader aspects of life including finance, investment and life planning. These ideas, along with the correlations between studying abroad, immigration and employment, are summarized in Mr Peng’s Chinese publication titled: “The Broader Aspects of Studying Abroad”.

As an influential participant in the industry, Mr Peng’s ideas, expertise and experience have been documented by several media outlets including the "New People's Daily", "Morning Post", "Abroad", "Talent and Employment".
