在澳洲兩年的工作旅遊期間,我體會到澳洲的多元文化及享受大自然的生活。而我也
選擇了在澳洲繼續求學去裝備自己,讓將來有更好的發展空間。

I experienced the multicultural and enjoying nature’s lifestyle during my first two years working holiday in Australia. I also chose to further my study in Australia so that I can pursue a better future and career development.

在計劃求學期間,我曾經為選擇合適的學校及科目而感到迷惘。其後在學習上遇到困難也不知如何解決。這些時候幸得到顧問提供專業意見,問題才得以解決。那時我才明白:「路是靠自己走出來的,但亦需要有明燈引路。」因此我決意成為一位專業顧問,用自己的親身經歷加上專業知識去為有意在澳洲留學的人提供適切的意見。

I was once feeling lost and puzzled when I had to figure out my study plan. I also had some difficult times during my studies that I had no clues to handle them. Luckily, I met a consultant who could provide professional advices and solutions to me. I realised that guidance is crucial when we are exploring the world. Hence, I decided to become a professional consultant, together with my personal experiences and professional knowledge, to help the new arrivals by providing suitable and immediate advices.

每位到訪的你們我也待之為朋友,能夠建立長遠友好的關係。希望你們在新環境或日後遇到任何困難時都得到即時的協助,能達成在澳留學的心願,好好享受澳洲生活。我承諾用心去了解你們每一位的需要,提供最貼心的服務及專業意見。

I take every client as a friend and build up a long term relationship. By hoping that each of you can be well settled in the new environment and can be helped in difficult times, you can enjoy the study and life in Australia. I promise that I would listen to your needs patiently so that I can offer the best services and professional advices to you.

作為你們的顧問,能見証你們英語有所進步、考獲專業資格、甚至獲得居留權,實在是很有滿足感。而且能參與你們人生中重要的一個階段並分享你們的喜悅,亦是我的榮幸。

As your consultant, seeing you having improvement in English, obtaining professional qualification or even granting the PR visas, would be the greatest joy and satisfaction in my career. It is also my honour to share one of your life events and happy moments.
