About US
Renee Duan (B.A, M.Ed)
​Founder & Principal Consultant
LinkedIn:https://ca.linkedin.com/in/reneeduan
With over 24 years of living and working in Canada, I bring a deep understanding of the local education system, having completed my own education here from high school through graduate school. I have over 20 years of professional experience in Canadian higher education, specializing in undergraduate, master’s, and doctoral admissions. Throughout my career, I’ve supported more than 10,000 students—from middle school to university level—with long-term academic and career planning. My work is grounded in a thorough knowledge of both K–12 and postsecondary systems across various Canadian provinces. I am also skilled in cross-cultural communication and have a deep understanding of the unique challenges faced by newcomer families. As a mom of four (two kids and two dogs), I’m known for my empathy, trustworthiness, and ability to truly listen.
