从求学路上的相识，到人生路上的信任，再到今天事业上的同行。From an education journey to lasting trust and a shared mission.
01｜父亲的三个问题，改变人生航向01 | Three Questions That Changed a Life
2004年，张小小在日本求学后回上海创业，经营公司、购置房产，原本期待父亲肯定。父亲却问：“如果让你管理二十家星巴克，你会吗？如果让你管理两百家肯德基，你懂吗？如果让你创立一个连锁品牌，你知道该怎么做吗？” 上半夜她委屈不甘，下半夜却理解了父亲的期望：不只积累财富，更要系统学习金融、经济、品牌和现代经营管理。她决定出售上海的公司，赴美国继续深造。Our founding story reflects decades of trust, real education experiences and a shared commitment to students.
02｜一次网络搜索，开启二十二年的信任02 | An Online Search and 22 Years of Trust
她通过 VisaDoctor.com 联系到北京从事国际教育服务的于萍萍老师与 Kelly。他们协助学校寻找、申请准备与签证面谈培训。2004年，她在使领馆看到有人因未获签而当场泪奔，也有人多次申请仍未如愿，而她第一次申请便顺利获签。她始终珍视两人认真细致的辅导与自己此前充分的准备。Our founding story reflects decades of trust, real education experiences and a shared commitment to students.
03｜纽约第五大道，决定回国03 | Fifth Avenue: A Decision to Return
赴美后，她持续观察美国连锁经营、品牌与管理体系。在纽约 Macy’s 百货商店，她听到针对中国消费者的侮辱性言语，对方讽刺中国人赴美争购中国制造、却贴着外国品牌标签的高价商品。这段经历让她思考中国制造与自主品牌价值之间的距离。她在心里许下愿望：“我要回中国，帮助中国本土企业建立自己的品牌。” 回国后，她投身企业品牌建设、经营咨询与创业投资。2015年3月3日，段马乐咨询在中国成立。Our founding story reflects decades of trust, real education experiences and a shared commitment to students.
04｜二十二年，不止于一次服务04 | More Than a One-Time Service
于萍萍老师与 Kelly 曾在北京共同经营国际教育服务机构多年，后来为了孩子的教育，将生活重心转向美国。他们继续积累当地教育资源，也持续关心中国学生与家庭。张小小与他们从服务者和学生，逐渐成为彼此信赖的朋友。Our founding story reflects decades of trust, real education experiences and a shared commitment to students.
05｜2018年起，信任延续到下一代05 | Trust Across Generations
从2018年至2020年，再到疫情后2023年至2026年，张小小的孩子多次在于萍萍老师与 Kelly 安排支持下赴美体验游学、夏令营、寄宿家庭与当地教育活动。2021—2022年因疫情未赴美。长期相处让教育服务的意义延续到两代人的成长。Our founding story reflects decades of trust, real education experiences and a shared commitment to students.
成长路上的真实记忆Moments along the journey
06｜教育理念，也在自己家庭中实践06 | Living Their Education Philosophy
于萍萍老师与 Kelly 也认真规划三个孩子的教育。他们的女儿毕业于麻省理工学院（MIT），并曾得到 William D. White 的指导与启发。正式公开的毕业项目、职业信息与照片将以本人确认和授权为准。Our founding story reflects decades of trust, real education experiences and a shared commitment to students.

07｜一次纽约相聚，一场教育交流07 | A Conversation in New York
William D. White 长期参与耶鲁大学校友学校委员会（ASC），约四十年间担任北京地区负责人，支持校友面试与学生指导；2003年至2016年担任北京耶鲁俱乐部理事会成员，2024年获得 Yale Medal。张小小与孩子曾在纽约与他交流语言、文学、学习方法与未来教育选择，留下真实合影。Our founding story reflects decades of trust, real education experiences and a shared commitment to students.
教育交流与长期同行Educational exchange and lasting connections
08｜2026年，共同启航08 | 2026: A Shared Journey
于萍萍老师与 Kelly 看到上海家庭日益关注美国教育机会，主动联系已经回到上海、从事企业咨询、品牌建设与天使投资的张小小。基于22年的交往与信任，双方很快达成共识。张小小参与投资并担任中国公司法定代表人，希望让中国家长在连接美国教育资源时，也能找到清晰的中国责任对接渠道。Our founding story reflects decades of trust, real education experiences and a shared commitment to students.
09｜彼岸不只有一个09 | More Than One Destination
教育不是替孩子预先决定人生，而是尽可能为他们创造条件，让他们亲自认识世界、理解不同文化，发现更多选择。二十二年前，他们为她打开了一扇通往世界的门；二十二年后，他们决定一起，为更多孩子打开这样的门。Our founding story reflects decades of trust, real education experiences and a shared commitment to students.

不是每个孩子都需要同一种教育Not Every Child Needs the Same Education
每个孩子都有不同的天赋、性格、兴趣和成长节奏。有些孩子适应大班教学与统一课程，有些孩子更适合小班互动、灵活课程或实践探索。Our mission is to help families explore suitable education pathways with informed choices.
当孩子已经付出努力，却长期难以在现有环境中发挥自己的能力时，我们应当先认真了解原因：是学习方法、支持条件的问题，还是教育方式尚未找到适合他的路径？Our mission is to help families explore suitable education pathways with informed choices.
还有一些孩子在现有学习环境中表现突出，拥有强烈的求知欲与鲜明兴趣。他们也许需要更深入的学术挑战和更广阔的探索空间。Our mission is to help families explore suitable education pathways with informed choices.

父母无法替孩子走完一生的路，却可以尽可能为他们创造更好的出发条件。一次夏令营、一段海外学习、一次与优秀教育工作者的交流，都可能成为发现新方向的起点。Our mission is to help families explore suitable education pathways with informed choices.

一段始于2004年的信任A Trust Built Since 2004
2004年，父亲关于现代连锁经营的三个问题，让张小小决定赴美系统学习；于萍萍老师与 Kelly 帮助她完成申请与签证准备。后来，她在纽约的一次经历中坚定回国建设中国本土品牌的决心。2018年起，信任又延续到下一代的美国成长体验。2026年，二十二年的交往成为共同事业的起点。Our mission is to help families explore suitable education pathways with informed choices.
从一位学生，到一个彼此支持的成长网络。A Community That Grows With Every Student.
有些曾经接受服务的学生，在美国继续学习、工作和生活；有些家庭又把自己的亲友介绍给我们；也有熟悉当地教育与生活环境的伙伴，愿意分享经验、支持后来者。我们希望在明确职责与共同标准下，把这些真实关系逐步组织成可持续的成长支持网络。Former students, families and trusted local partners may choose to share experiences and help newcomers. With clear responsibilities and shared standards, we aim to develop a lasting network of student and family support.

I WILL LAND's China-based company is newly established, but the people behind it are not new to international education. By 2004, Yu Pingping and Kelly were already supporting students and families in Beijing with U.S. education planning, school applications and visa preparation.

The China-based entity provides a clearer framework for contracts, payments, accounting, tax filings and service accountability. Its incorporation date is distinct from the team's professional history, and we believe families deserve clarity about both.

OUR PEOPLE · 01
于萍萍老师Yu Pingping
国际教育规划与跨境成长支持｜二十余年实践International Education Planning & Student Support | 20+ Years of Experience
从专业方向评估、学校甄选到赴美后的长期成长支持，她与团队坚持：先了解孩子，再讨论专业和学校；录取不是服务的终点。From understanding a student’s strengths and choosing a field of study to selecting schools and supporting life after arrival, Yu and her team begin with the student—not a ranking. Admission is only one milestone.
从跨文化工作，走向教育事业From Cross-Cultural Work to Education
大学毕业后，于萍萍曾在驻华外国媒体相关机构从事助理、联络工作，与不同文化背景的人共事，也不断提高英语沟通能力。她逐渐意识到，认识世界需要真实的交流，而不仅是书本上的想象。After university, Yu worked in an international media-related office in China, gaining firsthand cross-cultural experience and strengthening her English. The experience broadened her understanding of what international learning could mean.
与 Kelly 同行：专业能力遇见共同理想A Partnership Built Around Education
在跨文化工作往来中，于萍萍结识了 Kelly。那时 Kelly 已在北京从事英语教育、赴美留学申请与签证面谈英语辅导，尤其擅长英文申请材料的表达与修改。多次专业交流让两人发现，他们不仅在生活中相互理解，也能在事业上相互支持。后来，他们共同在北京开展国际教育规划与留学服务；VisaDoctor 网站成为不少家庭认识他们的窗口。Yu met Kelly through professional exchanges. He was already working in Beijing in English-language education, U.S. study applications and visa-interview preparation, with particular strengths in reviewing and refining English application materials. Their shared professional outlook developed into a personal and business partnership. They later built an education-advising practice in Beijing, with VisaDoctor serving as one point of contact for families.
一次主动退款，换来长期信任Trust Tested in the Early Years
创业初期，夫妻二人的专业能力吸引了越来越多的家庭。据于萍萍回忆，他们也曾遭遇来自同行的恶意投诉与刁难。当时部分经营手续尚在完善，消息传出后，一些已经付款的家庭十分担忧。夫妻二人主动提出退还相关款项，却没有因此中止正在进行的申请准备与辅导工作。In the early years, their work attracted more families. Yu recalls what she describes as malicious complaints and obstruction from competitors. As certain business formalities were still being completed, some paying clients became concerned. The couple offered refunds while continuing to assist with the students’ applications and preparation.
于萍萍回忆，十余位客户被这种处理方式打动，不仅愿意继续委托，还主动提供资源，帮助他们完善经营所需手续。这段经历让他们更加确信：客户的信任不是靠承诺赢得，而是在困难时如何行动中建立。Yu recalls that more than ten families appreciated their response, continued to trust them and helped connect them with resources to complete the necessary formalities. For the couple, trust was earned through action during uncertainty—not through promises alone.
先选方向，再选学校The Right Field Before the Famous Name
她不会从一张名校排行榜开始规划，而是先了解孩子的兴趣、学习能力、英语基础、独立生活能力与未来方向，再与 Kelly 及合适的教育人士一起评估专业选择。确定大致方向后，才比较学校的课程设置、教学方式、校园环境、实践机会和毕业后的发展路径。对于需要进一步学术交流的学生，团队可以视实际情况协调相关专业人士参与；不会把名师推荐、推荐信或录取结果作为必然承诺。Yu begins with the student rather than a ranking: interests, academic strengths, English readiness, independence and longer-term goals. She works with Kelly and appropriate educators to explore fields of study before comparing curricula, teaching styles, campus settings and future pathways. Specialist academic input may be coordinated when appropriate, but faculty access, recommendation letters and admission outcomes are never guaranteed.
她相信，真正好的选校，是让孩子在适合自己的地方得到成长，而不是为一个耀眼的校名牺牲学习体验。必要时，团队会协调学术交流与语言指导；相关专业人士的参与以实际安排为准，不构成录取承诺。For Yu, a strong school choice is one where a student can grow—not merely one with a famous name. Academic conversations or language guidance may be coordinated when appropriate, subject to availability and without admission guarantees.
录取之后，陪伴没有结束Support Does Not End at Admission
拿到录取通知书，不是陪伴的终点，而是新阶段的起点。Admission is a milestone. Ongoing growth is the journey.
邀请资深教育人士交流、获得申请建议，乃至顺利进入学校，都只是一个开始。真正的考验往往在入学之后：课程听不懂怎么办？只在熟悉的语言圈里交往、难以融入怎么办？孩子沉迷游戏、失去学习动力，远在中国的父母又如何及时察觉？于萍萍认为，帮助学生面对这些真实问题，正是学习与成长陪伴计划的重要价值。Advice from experienced educators and admission to a school are only the beginning. The harder questions often come afterward: What if a student cannot follow classes, stays isolated within a familiar-language circle, loses motivation or struggles socially? Yu sees ongoing student growth support as a central part of responsible international education advising.
早在北京经营机构时，于萍萍就组织过美国各地的可信赖联系人、优秀留学生前辈及合作伙伴，按学生所在城市就近提供探访、沟通、学习与生活适应支持。张小小当年在美国期间，也曾接待并陪伴过几位学生。后来于萍萍迁居美国，她本人和当地团队继续协调这些支持；张小小则在中国参与家庭沟通与需求对接。这不是临时加上的服务，而是一项跨越多年的实践。While still based in Beijing, Yu coordinated trusted contacts, experienced former international students and partners across U.S. cities for local visits, check-ins and adjustment support. Zhang Xiaoxiao also helped welcome and support several students while living in the United States. After Yu moved to the U.S., she and the local network continued coordinating support, while Zhang helped families communicate from China. This approach grew from years of practice, rather than being added as a recent marketing feature.
陪伴并不是代替孩子生活，更不是保证孩子永远不会遇到困难。它的价值在于尽早发现风险、保持沟通，并在需要时及时协调学校、家长与合适的支持者。有的家庭适合定期线上沟通与阶段复盘，有的需要就近探访、学业适应指导或更密集的支持。团队会依据孩子的年龄、城市、实际需求与家庭预算，提前约定人员、频次、费用、反馈方式和责任边界；未成年人相关安排须取得监护人同意。Support does not mean living a student’s life for them or promising that difficulties will never arise. It means recognizing concerns early, maintaining communication and coordinating with families, schools and appropriate local resources when needed. Options may include scheduled online check-ins, periodic reviews, local visits or more intensive support, with personnel, frequency, fees, reporting and boundaries agreed in advance. Arrangements involving minors require guardian consent.
把家长的担忧，也纳入教育规划Supporting the Whole Family
有些家庭希望了解孩子所在城市的生活条件，有些父母需要定期探望与沟通，还有些家庭同时考虑赴美工作、创业或长期生活。于萍萍会帮助他们梳理教育安排与家庭需求，并在需要时对接适当的当地服务资源。涉及签证、移民身份、法律或商业事项，应由具备相应资质的专业人士提供意见和服务。Some families need help understanding a student’s city and daily life; others are considering visits, employment, entrepreneurship or a longer-term move. Yu helps coordinate education-related planning and appropriate local referrals. Visa, immigration, legal and business matters require advice from appropriately qualified professionals.
为了孩子健康，提前开启美国生活A Family Decision, Years Into Her Career
在北京从事教育服务多年后，持续严重的雾霾让家中一个孩子出现了哮喘症状。为了孩子的健康，夫妻二人决定将原本计划更晚进行的赴美生活安排提前。于萍萍回忆，搬到美国生活一段时间后，孩子的症状逐渐缓解。此时他们已经在教育行业工作多年；迁居美国是一次重要的家庭决定，并非教育事业的起点。Years into their education-services career in Beijing, one of their children developed asthma symptoms amid severe air pollution. Concern for the child’s health led the couple to move forward plans to live in the United States. Yu recalls that the child’s symptoms eased over time after the move. This was a major family decision made well after their professional work had begun; it was not the origin of their education practice.
于萍萍老师与 Kelly 的三个孩子都出生在中国，却在三个不同的学段进入美国教育体系：大儿子达克（Duck Brant）赴美读高中，女儿罗珊（Penny）赴美读初中，小儿子 Deems 则从小学阶段开始在美国学习，如今也已进入大学。三个孩子走过不同的适应过程，让于老师从母亲和教育服务者的双重视角，切身体会到不同年龄段在语言、课程衔接、独立生活、同伴关系和家庭沟通上的差异。Yu Pingping and Kelly’s three children were all born in China but entered the U.S. education system at different stages: Duck during high school, Penny during middle school, and Deems during elementary school. Deems has now entered university. Their different transitions have given Yu a personal and professional perspective on language, academic adjustment, independence, friendships, and family communication.
因此，她不会简单地告诉家长“越早出去越好”或“等到高中再走”。她更愿意先了解孩子当前的学习基础、性格、英语能力、家庭准备与未来方向，再讨论何时转学、如何衔接以及抵达美国后由谁提供持续支持。她的家庭经历并不能替代每个孩子的个别评估，却让她更懂得家长真正担心什么，也成为长期陪伴服务的重要经验来源。That experience does not lead her to recommend a single “best” age to move abroad. Instead, she considers each child’s readiness, personality, language skills, family circumstances, and long-term goals, along with the support available after arrival. Her family’s experience is not a substitute for an individual assessment, but it helps her understand parents’ concerns and shape meaningful ongoing support.

先认识孩子，再判断专业；先理解课程和培养方式，再讨论学校的名气。录取只是阶段性成果，入学后的学习适应、语言成长、独立生活与长期发展，同样值得认真投入。于萍萍希望每个家庭都能清楚了解：不同阶段由谁负责、提供什么服务、如何沟通、出现问题怎样协调。专业指导与成长陪伴相互衔接，才构成她心目中完整的国际教育支持。Understand the student before choosing a field; understand the learning environment before focusing on a school’s reputation. Admission is one milestone, not the finish line. Academic adjustment, language growth, independent living and long-term development deserve continued attention. Yu believes families should know who is responsible at each stage, what support is included and how concerns will be addressed. Planning and ongoing support belong together.

OUR PEOPLE · 04
张小小Zhang Xiaoxiao
投资人｜中国公司法定代表人｜企业关键决策顾问Investor · Legal Representative in China · Business Strategy Advisor
“走出去，是为了看见更多可能；学回来，是为了创造真正的价值。”“Learning from the wider world matters most when it helps us create value.”
从2004年的赴美求学，到回国从事企业咨询与投资，再到今天与长期信赖的教育伙伴共同服务中美家庭，她相信：教育不是把孩子送到某个地方，而是帮助孩子获得认识世界、独立判断与持续成长的能力。From studying in the United States to advising businesses in China and partnering with trusted education professionals, Zhang believes education should equip students to explore, think independently, and keep growing.
01｜父亲的三个问题：为什么再次出发01 | Three Questions That Inspired a New Journey
2004年，张小小已经在上海创业并积累了一定的事业成果。父亲却问她：如果要管理二十家星巴克、两百家肯德基，或者亲自创立一个连锁品牌，你懂得如何管理吗？这番话让她重新认识到，财富的积累与系统的经营能力并不是一回事。她决定走出熟悉的环境，赴美国继续学习金融、经济、管理和品牌经营。In 2004, after building a business in Shanghai, Zhang was challenged by her father to think beyond individual business success: could she manage a large chain or build one herself? The questions motivated her to pursue more systematic study of finance, management, and brand strategy in the United States.
02｜从上海财经大学出发，走过日本与美国02 | From Shanghai University of Finance and Economics to Japan and the U.S.
张小小的求学与经营经历，从上海财经大学出发，延伸到日本和美国。她曾赴日本学习，随后在上海创业。2004年前后，父亲关于连锁经营与系统管理的提问，促使她再次走进课堂，赴美深造金融与管理。她不仅在美国求学，也曾在俄亥俄州开展企业经营，后来转往纽约，接触更广阔的商业与品牌环境。纽约 Macy’s 的一次经历，使她更加深刻地思考中国制造与国际品牌之间的价值差异。最终，她选择回到中国，把国际学习与经营经验投入本土企业的品牌建设、经营咨询与创业投资。她相信，走向世界不是为了远离中国，而是为了学到更多、看得更远，再把能力用于真实的价值创造。Her journey began at Shanghai University of Finance and Economics, continued through study in Japan and entrepreneurship in Shanghai, and led to further education in finance and management in the United States. She also operated a business in Ohio before moving to New York, where she deepened her understanding of global commerce and branding. An experience at Macy’s sharpened her questions about the gap between manufacturing strength and brand value. She ultimately returned to China to apply her international learning and business experience to brand development, strategic consulting, and early-stage investment.

03｜教育不该把每个孩子塑造成同一个样子03 | Education Should Recognize Individual Strengths
企业各有不同的经营方式，孩子也各有不同的优势、兴趣和成长节奏。有些孩子适应结构清晰的学习环境，有些孩子更需要探索、讨论与自主实践；还有些孩子已经具备较强能力，渴望更大的发展空间。张小小主张先理解孩子，再比较教育路径，而不是简单用国家、排名或学校名气判断教育的价值。选择海外教育，并不意味着否定国内教育；重要的是找到真正适合孩子的环境。Every student has different strengths, interests, and ways of learning. Some thrive in structured settings, while others benefit from inquiry, discussion, or greater academic challenge. Zhang advocates understanding the student first, then considering educational pathways—not choosing solely by country, ranking, or prestige.
04｜2004年结缘，二十余年的信任04 | A Partnership Rooted in Trust Since 2004
2004年，她通过 VisaDoctor 网站结识于萍萍老师与 Kelly，获得学校申请及签证准备方面的支持。多年后，她自己的孩子也多次参与美国学习、夏令营与在地教育活动，持续获得他们的帮助。长期的合作让她看到，真正有价值的教育服务不能止步于录取通知书，更应重视孩子抵达后的语言、学业、文化适应与成长。In 2004, Zhang connected with Yu Pingping and Kelly through VisaDoctor for university applications and visa preparation. Over the years, her own child also joined educational activities and summer programs in the United States with their support. These experiences strengthened her belief that meaningful guidance continues well beyond admission.
05｜中国有责任对接，美国有持续陪伴05 | A Clear Point of Contact in China, Ongoing Support in the U.S.
当于萍萍老师与 Kelly 邀请她共同发展国际教育事业时，她愿意投资并担任中国公司的法定代表人，希望中国家长在国内有明确的沟通窗口和责任对接人。她侧重中国家庭的需求沟通、教育目标梳理、合作协调与服务边界确认；于萍萍老师及美国团队则依据实际服务约定，提供美国教育资源对接、当地协调与成长支持。学术人士的指导、学校申请和学生陪伴各有专业分工，不以任何个人关系承诺录取结果。As an investor and legal representative of the China entity, Zhang aims to give families a clear, accountable point of contact in China. She focuses on understanding family goals, coordinating planning, and clarifying service scope. Yu Pingping and the U.S. team coordinate education resources and local support according to agreed services. Academic advice, applications, and student support have distinct roles; no admissions outcome is guaranteed.
06｜欢迎在上海，从一次对话开始06 | Start with a Conversation in Shanghai
无论是为孩子探索海外学习机会，还是考虑家庭未来的跨国学习与生活安排，张小小都欢迎家长先交流真实目标、优势、担忧和现实条件。她也欢迎有美国学习或生活经验、愿意遵守专业服务标准的留学生、家长及相关人士，了解未来区域服务伙伴与学生成长支持的合作机会。合作资格、职责和具体服务均需经过独立评估与确认。Families exploring U.S. education or a broader international transition are welcome to begin with an open conversation about goals, strengths, concerns, and practical needs. Alumni, parents, and qualified community members with relevant experience may also inquire about future regional partnerships and student-support opportunities, subject to appropriate review and clearly defined responsibilities.
从孩子的未来，到家庭更长远的发展。欢迎从一次认真交流开始。From a student’s next step to a family’s longer-term plans, meaningful guidance begins with a thoughtful conversation.
