I am glad that so many outstanding Chinese students want to come and study in the UK, and I am glad to help. I graduated from the London School of Economics and have 35 years' experience drafting and editing CVs, reports, leaflets, information for Ministers, citizens, the media &c. I now work as an employment coach, helping people find jobs; I drive elderly people to a day centre; and am a countryside volunteer, coppicing woodlands, laying hedges and protecting natural habitats.

I am very proud to be a senior advisor at ZhishiQ and have had the pleasure of clients gaining successful entry into many fine international universities including London School of Economics, Imperial College, Penn U, Colombia and Chinese University of HK. I see words creatively, like a picture that needs every element composed to make a masterpiece, as well as, technically - how they fit and what meaning they convey. I have edited numerous disciplines; physics, architecture and planning, biomedical informatics, environmental engineering, marketing, education and pedagogy, public policy. When students get into their dream university programs, this of course makes me very happy and is why I do this job ;)
