ThinkWithU

ThinkWithU (申友教育) is a Chinese education brand focused on study-abroad consulting and overseas test preparation. According to its official website, the operating company is Shanghai Xiaoshen Education Technology Group Co., Ltd. (上海小申教育科技集团有限公司), founded in 2012 in Beijing, with its headquarters now listed in Shanghai. The brand describes itself as a national high-tech certified enterprise and operates through a network of branch centers in major Chinese cities including Shanghai (headquarters), Beijing, Guangzhou, Wuhan, Chengdu, Hangzhou, Chongqing, Shenzhen and Qingdao. The company's services span the full study-abroad journey. Its study-abroad consulting arm, marketed as 申友留学, covers secondary school, undergraduate, master's and doctoral applications, as well as Sino-foreign cooperative programs, preparatory courses and international high school selection. It promotes a "non-agency" (非中介) consulting model built around seven application steps: time planning, background enhancement, school selection guidance, document writing, application procedures, interview coaching and visa preparation. Alongside consulting, ThinkWithU runs test-prep training for IELTS, TOEFL, GMAT, GRE, SAT, AEAS, FCE, PTE and Duolingo, plus German and Japanese language courses and international curriculum tutoring for A-Level, IB, AP, IGCSE, OSSD, VCE and DSE. The brand has developed its own digital tools, including the 申友留学 app and mini-program, and a smart school-selection platform that aggregates information on thousands of institutions across the UK, US, Hong Kong, Macau, Canada and other destinations. It also offers background-enhancement programs such as internships, research and competitions. Its positioning emphasizes high scores and admission to prestigious schools, with the slogan "高分成就梦想 • 名校改变人生" (High scores achieve dreams; prestigious schools change lives). ThinkWithU operates as a private, non-listed company. Its content marketing includes a study-abroad encyclopedia and articles on employment and internship trends, reflecting its effort to engage students navigating a competitive job market. The brand's multi-city presence and broad product portfolio make it a notable player in China's study-abroad services sector.
