Looking for a college counselor to mentor and guide Chinese high school students through their applications to university in the United States (primarily), the UK, Canada, and Australia.
Company Background: Goldenway Consulting, founded in 2014 by two Americans, is a small but growing college counseling company based in Shanghai. We work with roughly 20-30 Chinese students each year, most of whom are applying to college in the United States. We pride ourselves on providing individualized, intimate service to our clients to help them navigate the complicated journey of college apps. Mentorship–teaching the student to grow through the application process rather than simply being their essay editors–is one of our core philosophies.
Overview

Most likely you will be working together with another counselor and supervising various parts of different student’s cases. However, depending on your ability and experience, you may be given your own students cases to handle as well.
