"During the days accompanying my children in Singapore, I witnessed their growth and change. They have not only achieved excellent academic results, but also made overall improvements in their personalities, social skills, and other aspects. Whenever I see my children giving a speech confidently on stage, or playing with their friends happily, I`m filled with joy and pride. These beautiful moments made me deeply realize the significance and value of accompanying them.
Throughout the process of accompanying my children in Singapore, I also experienced my moments of self-reflection and growth. I began to pay more attention to my own inner self, thinking about how to better balance the needs of family, personal life and society. I started to learn new skills, expand my interests and become a more independent, confident and attractive woman. These experiences have made me more aware that accompanying children not only benefits themselves, but is also good for my own growth and improvement.
Looking back on this journey abroad, I deeply feel the difficulties and preciousness within. It taught me to be perseverant and brave, and also brought me love and transformation. I believe that as long as we hold onto our beliefs and move forward bravely, we can live a wonderful life while accompanying our children`s studies. At the same time, I also hope that all mothers accompanying their children abroad can support each other, walk side by side and shine with our own light on the parallel journey of love and transformation."

"I have known an excellent mother who has been accompanying her daughter in Singapore for 7 years and her daughter turned out to be excellent. In order to avoid the detours she went, she introduced me to her most trustworthy overseas study company. So I got in contact with Jessica. After a brief talk, I felt that our educational philosophies were aligned, plus my friend strongly recommended Jessica to us, so I signed the contract with her. After evaluation, Jessica suggested that we apply for CIS at that time. In December, we were thrilled to receive CIS`s offer. Before moving to Singapore, Jessica has already helped us to make a clear academic plan. In February, with her assistance, my child signed up for the entrance exam of UWCSEA, and it went smoothly. In March, he received the email from UWC informing him that he had been placed in the waiting pool and three days later, we received the offer for UWC`s 10th grade in August! CIS is a good school, but also getting into UWC was something we had been hoping for.
Since half a year ago, we have been repeating the process of changing, adapting and striving. At CIS, it was like this and it will be at UWC too! We didn't miss out on his life and learning, but learned to let go a little more and let the child face the world and make choices by himself. His father and I both believe that in such a safe and orderly country, with such loving and respectful people, and with the help of experienced and responsible guardians, our child will grow better and better and become the person he aspires to be!"

“In 2022, after an in-depth discussion with our child, we decided to give up the traditional Chinese education methods of the high school and college entrance examination system. Instead, we chose to embrace an overseas education approach and completely change our learning style to accept new challenges.
First, we went to Kuala Lumpur and visited some international schools, where our child had his first interview. Since the second interview took place in August, we decided to travel to Singapore first. During our travels, one of our friends introduced Jessica, who is the Director of ILC, to us. We changed our original plan during the talk with Jessica because I realized that she is an experienced expert in overseas education who also approved our child, Zhou Shoujun, and came up with a very detailed overseas education plan for us. The plan started with a transition in Canadian International School, followed by three months of tutoring to prepare for a better school. We are very happy that our child has been successfully admitted to SJII. Our child is currently in the midst of adolescence rebellion and has not yet formed his own life philosophy and values. This is a time when we, as parents, need to devote more time and love, and provide him with more care, tolerance and trust. Only in this way can we ensure that the path of studying abroad is navigated successfully.”

“... I was even more surprised when my daughter told me that she felt that she was a bit dyslexic, and that it was quite common and many famous people had it. She also gave me some examples from her own experience, such as skipping or missing words when reading, misreading numbers while doing math problems, and even making mistakes when copying answers from a calculator. But at the same time, she also knew that people with dyslexia often have a good sense of space and in fact, she really does. That was the first time I encountered the word “dyslexia” and it also reminded me of an experience she had in elementary school back in China. There was a stage when my daughter was in the second or third grade that the math teacher specifically asked us to strengthen her practice of addition and subtraction within 20. At that time, the teacher thought she had some carelessness problems because she was not supposed to make such a low-level calculation error which resulted in her losing points in every exam based on her mathematical ability...

Just a while ago, I happened to read a shared article of "dyslexia" in the Chengdu Parent Group of ILC: English Name DYSLEXIA, also known as "dyslexia" or "dyslexia". It is one of the most common special learning disabilities, a kind of reading and spelling disorder caused by brain inability to coordinate the integration of visual and auditory information, usually emerging during elementary school years...Why did my daughter have mild dyslexia but it left no impact on her current reading ability? In this regard, my daughter and I started a discussion. Finally we found that this may be due to the fact that when we read, we do not understand the idea of the article by reading out every word. Just like every person with a reading foundation feels that a large number of words, characters, and phrases are repeatedly used but the sentence pattern is fixed. In this way, after the initial accumulation, mild dyslexia with non-intellectual problems will not leave an impact on reading. From my experience, even if there is a misunderstanding in reading, it will be corrected as the reading goes on.”

"...Considering that 2017 was their first year in Singapore, the children had just begun to adapt and their English level was still relatively low, I chose the exam in September 2018, hoping to make them more prepared. During this period, I also applied for CIS and Huazhong International School for my son, and UWC for my daughter. Unfortunately, the results were all unsuccessful and the children`s confidence began to be affected. I could only reassure them that these tests were just practice. Deep down, we still had our last hope, which was the SJII exam in September. However, when the results came out, they still gave us quite a shock - both children failed in that exam. If there is one thing we have gained from that exam, it is that we were lucky enough to meet Jessica after the test, and let my two children enter the ILC tuition centrel, where they started a brand new learning journey. At the end of 2018, I officially entrusted my two children to Jessica. From a professional perspective, Jessica analyzed their strengths and weaknesses, and made learning plans as well as learning goals for them. Since then, I really felt reassured, confident and at ease. For a mother like me who crosses the river by feeling the stones, professional guidance is really important, especially a loving and empathetic teacher...


2019 was the happiest and most reassuring year during my time in Singapore. My son successfully received admission from SJII and my daughter received admission from both Dulwich College and SJII. Under Jessica`s advice, my daughter chose to go to Dulwich at last, which was more suitable and more challenging for her. Both of these choices proved to be very wise, and both children were very happy in the new schools. My daughter became more outgoing, more confident and more willing to share and communicate with us thanks to the open learning environment and encouraging education method from Dulwich. SJII's rigorous and serious style of study also made my son focus more on study. This successful admission also made him no longer feel afraid and frustrated about studying, and taught him that all the efforts will finally pay off if he sticks to it. This is a very important lesson in his life and is also the satisfaction and sense of accomplishment I`ve always hoped that he can get from learning.”

“When I decided to bring my daughter to study abroad, there was no particular reason. My initial intention was to avoid the junior examination in China. In the case of economic ability, I chose to let my child study overseas. I didn't want her to lose her happy smile in the process of learning and cramming information on a daily basis.

In 2013, I quit my banking job after more than 20 years and moved to Singapore with my daughter. Like most mothers who accompanied their children to Singapore for the first time, I fell into endless anxieties after the initial two months of novelty wore off. First of all, the school my daughter could attend was uncertain, then the isolation and loneliness brought by the new living environment, the year-round hot weather, etc., even the simple meals of a day were full of problems! ... To be honest, it was only when I came to Singapore that I began to learn to cook, and the first few days made me particularly embarrassed, with knife wounds and burns on my hands.I remembered when my daughter came home from school and saw me busy cooking in the kitchen, she said with concern, "Mom, you are too tired right now. Is it possible that you would be reinstated in China? If yes, you should go back and my sister can take care of me.” Though my daughter`s words were heart-warming, what she didn't understand at that time was that everyone's life is filled with crossroads, and no matter which path they choose, there will be some sacrifices. The key is that no matter what choice we make, we must stick with it. Outcome doesn`t matter the most, the process does. As long as you persist, you will eventually be rewarded! As a mother, I must set a good example for my daughter. If I give up so easily when facing difficulties, it would be very detrimental to her growth and education.

Singapore is a country where Chinese make up the majority. Living here with basic communication in Chinese is fine, but to truly settle down, English is still necessary. I remember when I first came here, I went to the supermarket but couldn't read the street signs and addresses. Everything was written in English, which made me feel like I was illiterate. Not only was I unable to help with my daughter`s studies, daily living was full of difficulties. So on the recommendation of a friend, I started going for English classes two or three times a week. After several years of persistence, I was able to communicate with friends, send messages and read simple emails. During this period, I also made many international friends. My life was enriched, while I also broadened my horizons. My daughter witnessed all my changes. She sees a mother who is positive and aspiring and she is proud of my growth and progress! Meanwhile, we gradually got along like friends, both of us considerate of each other all the time. My way of talking to her has shifted from an educational and commanding tone to a consultative and guiding approach, and she also opened up to me, willing to share anything with me.

... Most children are able to stay with their parents until they are twenty years old, after which they will leave us to embark on a new journey of life. I'm grateful to have been able to accompany my daughter during her important phase of adolescence. The years spent in Singapore have been a beautiful and precious experience in my life. I believe it will bring me new perspectives and rich experiences for the future, and I also want to express my greatest gratitude to all the family and friends who have helped and accompanied us.”

"...Originally, the plan was to move to Singapore after a few years when the child was a bit more outstanding. However, the epidemic situation worsened in Thailand, I had no choice but to move to Singapore ahead of time. Fortunately, a friend of mine recommended Jessica`s team to me. They were very nice and very detailed and responsible. Jessica`s team took care of everything, from preparing various documents and visa applications for studying in Singapore to furnishing the house, even including the purchase of kitchen utensils.


In August of that year, my children and I arrived in Singapore smoothly. The pandemic was still ongoing, and my family was very concerned about the severity of the situation abroad. However, Jessica often comforted us and reminded us to disinfect and protect ourselves. She also thoughtfully provided us with COVID-19 test kits as well, which is truly heartwarming. Because of Jessica`s meticulous attention to detail, we didn't have to worry about anything upon arriving in Singapore. It felt like we were coming home. Jessica not only cared about our lives but has also consistently focused on children`s studies. She always told us that if there is any problem, just approach her and she will take care of it. The service was all-in-one and we didn't have to worry about anything. Her care and comfort made us stronger and more confident to overcome the epidemic. At the same time, our children's studies were also going smoothly. We were worried that children may not adapt to a strange environment and may not dare to speak out when they encounter difficulties in learning. Jessica would pay great attention to the children's psychological conditions and would communicate and interact with them constantly. It has been over four months since I came to Singapore. Although unexpected things happened in life and the learning process, with Jessica`s help, we have solved all of the problems and our anxieties have been well relieved. Our children were able to get along well with their new classmates and learningjourney went very smoothly.”
