On 3rd August, HOPE were invited to Industrial Bank (Zibo Branch, Shandong Province) to share the theme of “how to plan to apply top universities overseas” with 25 parents and students from private banking clients. Daniel Zheng and Sherry Zhang from HOPE also interacted specifically on how to choose the path after the high school entrance examination and Gao Kao, which received unanimous praise from parents and students.

70 students and 10 teachers, led by HOPE staff, the students from a school in Yiwu embarked on a study tour to its UK sister school at the beginning of August. The 15-day study tour was a rich experience about culture exchange and English language. They have also learned how to embrace the world with an open mind, understand different cultures and respect every voice.

As HOPE’s monthly publication to our parents aiming at building a bridge between HOPE and its clients families, Parents Panorama Journal has its unique charm in its deep analysis of educational topics and sharing of cutting-edge education concepts. This month, HOPE interviewed some families and students who are going to study abroad in UK, Canada and US. The interview is included in this months publication for all reader’s reference to share these students successful stories!

At the end of August, James, HOPE IClass partner came to HOPE Shanghai and Hangzhou office to address to students on how to improve their IELTS speaking scores, how to write personal statements that are attractive to G5 admission officers and how to prepare for interviews for G5 universities. Regarding culture shock, he encouraged students to engage actively in communication with lecturers and teachers to adapt. This is a good tip for students who have not been to the UK or other countries to adapt more smoothly.
