Lilly's journey began in the picturesque town of Haining, nestled near Shanghai, China. She was raised in a quaint village, where her father had tirelessly managed his manufacturing business for decades. Throughout her childhood and youth, Lilly cherished the moments spent with her grandparents, parents, and her younger brother.

 

When she embarked on her college education, Lilly matriculated at Capital Normal University in Beijing City, a renowned institution for future educators. It was here that Lilly excelled academically, earning both a national scholarship and the prestigious Best Teaching Award in a school-wide competition. These achievements ignited a profound passion within her for both education and entrepreneurship, blending together in a harmonious synergy.

 

In 2011, this unique combination of her aspirations led Lilly to establish her first tutoring and consulting office, marking the beginning of her remarkable journey in the field of education. Dedicating her career to education, Lilly started offering services in international admissions, test preparation, and private school applications during her second year of college. Inspired by her students who successfully went overseas for school, she decided to pursue further education at the Graduate School of Education at the University of Pennsylvania.
