Student Story · The Founder

The first student on this path was Leo himself.

German passport · IB, predicted 45 · Tsinghua Xinya College · PPE

German-Chinese, raised between two worlds, Leo took the IB at Schule Schloss Salem — Germany's top boarding school — with a predicted 45, and applied to Tsinghua with one clear thesis: his future was in China. Today he reads PPE at Tsinghua's Xinya College, entirely in Chinese. Agora exists so the next student doesn't have to figure this path out alone.

  • Up to 5 top Chinese universities
  • Weekly 1-on-1 with lead mentor
  • Full pre-submission audit

Pricing is transparent and set by depth and region — never negotiated privately. We publish a regional purchasing-power policy and tell you the exact number on the first call.

Fit Check · 60 Seconds

Is the China track right for your child?

Five questions. No email required. You get an honest read on which direction fits — and what to do next.

Question 1 / 5

Where is your child right now?

Honest Answers

What parents ask first. What we answer first.

Anything not here, message us on WeChat. We don't leave vague answers — vague is agency talk, not advisor talk.

No. Any firm promising guaranteed admission is either lying or working in a gray zone. What we can promise: a fully transparent process, effort that can be audited, and an honest read on the final outcome. If we think the direction is wrong, we tell you on the first call.

Begin

Talk to us first. Then decide if it's worth continuing.

A 60–90 minute diagnostic conversation, led by Leo or a senior mentor. By the end you'll know clearly: where your child stands now, what's reachable, and which path to take. If we're not the right fit, we tell you directly. That's the most basic honesty we owe.
