A Message From Our Founder
Follow Lucky Bay, Find Your Way
“When I was a student, I struggled with direction. I didn’t know how to express myself or what path I was really on. Lucky Bay started as a place where students like me could be understood — and where they wouldn’t have to face those questions alone. Suzhou will always be where that mission began.
What satisfies me most now is seeing parents and students light up — not just when they receive an offer, but when they feel that someone finally sees them, believes in them, and walks with them. That’s the Lucky Bay way.”

What Makes Lucky Bay Suzhou Different?
Our Suzhou team has worked with students from a wide range of backgrounds, including local public schools, international schools, and bilingual academies. Providing services for students from Grade 1 (with Our Young Genius Program) all the way up to PhD applications, we are a lifelong companion for students looking to forge their own way.
Our programs here were the first to integrate Lucky Bay’s Educational Iceberg model-focusing not only on visible outcomes, but long-term student growth. This has been vital in launching our star ‘Personalized Planning’ service in Suzhou for students in Grade 7-9, taking a long-term approach to university applications.
Suzhou remains our core base for writing, editing, and mentorship-with many of our signature university acceptances (Imperial College London, UC Davis, Cornell, HKU) anchored in the work led by Tina and her team in Lucky Bay Suzhou.
