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 ;)

I am glad that so many outstanding Chinese students want to come and study in the UK and other countries, and I am glad to help. I have assisted clients with applications to over 80 different universities in a dozen Asian, European and North American countries, including successful applications to most of the world's top-20 ranked universities. I graduated from the London School of Economics and have 35 years' experience drafting and editing CVs, reports, leaflets, information for Ministers, citizens, and the media. I now work as an employment coach, helping people find jobs; I drive elderly people to a day centre; assist hospital patients; and am a countryside volunteer, coppicing woodlands, laying hedges and protecting natural habitats.
