Imagine dropping off your child at his/her dream college, happy and motivated to be studying with the best faculty and students in the world. That was me last week. This time last year was a different story. Everything they say about the difficulty college admissions is true. I will spare you the details (It's actually worse). It is competitive because the top college programs today have admission rates of less than 3%. That means only one student is accepted for every 30 that apply, and that student is selected by the college for something special. And the competition is global. Bryan and the team at Key were instrumental in the whole process. I will spare you the details (There are lots). Think of them as experienced coaches with years of experience. Even the very best athletes have coaches, trainers and mentors. Or perhaps they became the best because they had the right coach. We met several college counsellors, and Key Education Consulting was the best for us. I wish everyone the best in their journey. Looking back, all that hard work and effort -- It's worth it. The gratification comes from achieving every day, that which is hard, not what is easy.

I highly recommend Key to students applying for post secondary education. The team at key are passionate and knowledgeable. They support students’ passion and encourages their students to develop beyond expectations. Working with key for post secondary helped me a lot with time management and building a profile. Will definitely come back to work with Key for my siblings!

My experience with KEY has been nothing short of amazing. They spent alot of time to understand our child and our family before making recommendations. The consultants were highly knowledgeable about child development and different private schools, and able to answer many of our questions. The whole process with school selection/application was thoughtful, intelligent, and strategic. Suggestions and recommendations were always clearly explained, and delivered in a professional and timely manner. KEY also provided classes for my child, which were well structured and suitable for his age and developmental stage. My child loved KEY's classes. They also have parenting classes that offered wonderful information for families with young children. All in all we are happy with our experience with KEY. Thank you!

I first started working with Bryan to prep for school interviews before entering Grade 1. What I didn't realize was that Bryan and his company would become central to helping me with my College Apps. I have a great connection with Bryan and he and his team worked with me until the last second of college prep. Bryan helped me layout my college application plan and follow through with it. Thank you Bryan for everything!

我们在取得二所顶私中学的offer后,果断地放弃了其他几所顶私的面试邀约。这个结果也算是在我们的意料之中。六个月key的陪伴,不仅使我们熟悉了解了温哥华、多伦多不同学校的特点和要求的侧重点,更加使我们对孩子的学习方向、目标和未来愿景有了清晰的认识和思考。专业的事交给专业的人和机构区做,key就是这样的机构,顾问就是这样专业的人。谢谢key。

As a new family moving to Canada one year ago, we believe that we will not make such big progress without Key’s help and guidance. They provided very helpful advices helping us adapt ourselves to the new environment and prepare for the challenges. In addition the teachers at Key are amazing and devoted and our kid made huge progress in language and social emotional development throughout their various classes. We got to our ideal and favorite top school and would like to attribute this success to their support.
