Singapore & Southeast Asia A retired venture

Ivy League
Asia.

A chapter in education.
A world of possible futures.

Ivy League Asia was a university admissions and education advisory business serving schools, families, and education companies. Its work helped young people find their next chapter.

The business has retired. This page keeps its story as part of the work that brought me here.

The work

Three areas of practice.
One thread: education.

01 / Schools

University pathways advisory

Training in-house counselling teams, assessing outcomes, and providing senior advisory experience to support schools' university guidance.

02 / Schools & families

Curriculum and academic advisory

Curriculum design and project-based learning, helping schools and families build coherent, rigorous academic programmes worth a student's time.

03 / Education companies

Edtech and growth advisory

Strategy, positioning, and growth advice for education companies and school operators, drawing on two decades of experience in education.

The experience behind it

Helping people
take the next step.

Guiding students towards universities worldwide, and supporting educators pursuing graduate programmes at Harvard, Stanford, and Cornell.

The practice brought together experience in education across countries, with a focus on Singapore and Southeast Asia.

Part of a wider body of work in schools, learning, and the opportunities people create for themselves.
