My name is Austin, an American educator with a passion for international education. After earning a degree in Education, I embarked on a career that has taken me across the globe. From working as a Foreign Consultant in the high-end department (新东方) in Beijing, China to serving as the Director of International Programs and Admissions Officer at a private high school, I have gained a wealth of experience in the field. Having interviewed over 1,400 students planning to study overseas, I am committed to helping students achieve their academic goals and broaden their cultural horizons.

Austin is an extremely responsible and knowledgeable teacher, he will focus on my questions and problems to give improvement suggestions.
