Tomato Education International

It has always been a wonderful experience engaging with BUCA events and enhancing our journey together. Last week, we attended the #BUCA #LanternFestival event in London. It was our privilege to kick off the first offline event of 2025 with BUCA and to connect with amazing professionals from the international education industry. We were also glad to meet our PBSA friends for the very first time.

Thank you for sharing. It was a great privilege for us to interview you, Peter, and also to exchange insights on international education.

We are thrilled to have ended 2024 on a high note and started 2025 with meaningful work! Led by Mr. Tony LI, CEO of Tomato Education International, and Mr. Allen Zhen Qi, CEO of One More Education, in collaboration with the China Social Welfare Foundation (CSWF)'s "Little Ya Charity Fund", our team embarked on a mission to Lancang County, Pu'er City, Yunnan Province, as part of the 2024 TO YOU Mountain Charity Coffee Initiative.   Our incredible team of participants included prominent leaders from the international education sector: Mr. Hang Song (Chairman, Beijing Qihui Future School - 101 Education Group) Mr. Yifei Wang (Investor, Cardiff Academy) Mr. Tony Gao (CEO, Easy Transfer) Ms. Amanda Zhou (Senior Education Manager, British Council) Ms. Jiao LIU (Director Government Relations, Pearson China) Mr. Liang Hou (China Regional Director, Teesside University)   Also special thanks to the following participants companies (in no particular order), EasyTransfer, Shanghai Meiteng Jia Guo Education Group, XINXIGU, Global Education Alliance (GEA), CHOICE, Beijing Qihui Future School, Avaline School, Arts University Bournemouth, The University of Huddersfield China Office.   Together, we donated over 20 acres of land for exclusive coffee cultivation, providing subsidies and training for local farmers to enhance quality and sustainability. Expanding coffee sales channels will further support the Little Ya Charity Fund, extending help to more girls and families in need.   During our visit to the Little Ya Coffee Plantation, we immersed ourselves in activities such as coffee bean harvesting, primary processing, and coffee tasting. We also engaged with local farmers to discuss how the project can create opportunities for young people, encouraging them to return to their hometowns and contribute to its growth and development.   The Little Ya Charity Fund, founded in 2013, is committed to empowering girls in Poverty-stricken areas by providing hygiene supplies, health education, and equal access to education. Over the past 11 years, it has championed initiatives that support girls’ health, protection, education, and development, making a lasting impact on their lives.   The #TOYOU Mountain Charity Programme, jointly launched in 2021 by Tomato Education International and Onemore Education, reflects our commitment to sustainable change. Through visits to schools in poverty-stricken regions in China and the delivery of essential materials, we embody the philosophy: "Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime."   As we step into 2025, we are reminded that collaboration and compassion have the power to transform lives. Love knows no boundaries, and we hope the "Mountain Charity Journey" will provide even greater support to girls and young women in challenging circumstances!

It’s been an extraordinary year in 2024 for Tomato Education International. As we reflect on the journey, the challenges we’ve overcome and the targets we’ve achieved stand as testaments to our resilience and determination. Moments of joy and disappointment alike have shaped our growth, turning each experience into an invaluable lesson. • We proudly established the China Strategic Office for QAHE, marking a significant step forward in our global strategy. • Our B2B accommodation booking brand, StayZnet, was successfully launched in collaboration with Global Education Alliance Limited (GEA) and Huatong International LLC, expanding our service offerings and reinforcing our leadership in the sector. • EasyTransfer became a strategic partner of Tomato Education International, strengthening our ecosystem and broadening the scope of our services. • Funliving.com achieved over 10,000 bookings worldwide, with nearly 8,000 in the UK for the 2024/25 academic year, reflecting our unwavering commitment to providing exceptional accommodation solutions. • As the strategic partner of LANGUAGECERT in China, we have provided LanguageCert exam services to more than 10,000 students. • By the end of 2024, Tomato Digital has delivered China-focused marketing services to over 200 universities, educational institutions, and PBSA providers across the UK, the USA, Australia, and Canada. • We successfully organized the inaugural Tomato Post-Study Services Forum, creating a platform for industry insights and collaboration. • We continued our participation in “Ride for Children” and “Lancang Charity Action”, reaffirming our dedication to social responsibility and community support. This year was not just about milestones but also about the people who made them possible—our passionate team (which has now grown to over 100 members) and trusted partners. Together, we’ve demonstrated the power of collaboration and innovation in driving meaningful change. We wish you all a Merry Christmas and the very best for 2025!

We are delighted to share the success of Tomato Education International's inaugural Post-Study Service Forum! Organized by Tomato Education International and co-hosted by EasyTransfer, the forum aimed to create a platform for communication, learning, and mutual support. It brought together industry leaders, education experts, corporate representatives, and key stakeholders to discuss the current state, challenges, and future trends of post-study services for international students. The event featured six insightful presentations from industry experts, all centered around the theme of "Achieving Study Abroad Success." These were delivered by Mr. Xinping Wu, Education Market Manager at the British Council, Mr. Zhongyi Wang, Head of China & East Asia Office at Heriot-Watt University, Mr. Michael Shang, Co-founder and General Manager of EasyTransfer, Ms. Echo Shen, Director of Product at Ucourse and Ms. Qiuyi Zeng, Product Lead at Zhongchuangjiatu of GEC Academy. Mr. Jeffrey Yang, Co-founder and COO of Funliving.com, unveiled the Student Accommodation White Paper, based on Funliving’s data and higher education statistics from the UK, US, and Australia. The report analyzed the industry’s key trends, including student housing market, rent levels, occupancy rates, booking cycles, and the role of online booking platforms in shaping the sector. Ms. Yanping ZHANG, Head of International Cooperation at the International Business School of Beijing Foreign Studies University; Mr. Simon Lin, Engagement Manager at the International Office of the University of Technology Sydney; Ms. Scarlett Peng, Head of International Relations, East Asia, at the University of Nottingham; Mr. Tony Gao, Founder and President of EasyTransfer; and Ms. Jessy Cheng, Senior Manager of Careers and Alumni Development at INTO University Partnerships, participated in a roundtable discussion. The discussion focused on the opportunities and challenges in post-study services. Drawing on their extensive experience in the international education sector, the panelists explored various developmental models for post-study services within their respective fields. As the needs of international students continue to grow, the scope of services in the education sector has expanded beyond study-abroad applications to include a wider range of offerings, such as accommodation booking, academic tutoring, cross-border payments, and career guidance. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to our co-host EasyTransfer, the British Council, over 30 overseas institutions, and more than 180 industry leaders for their active participation. Looking ahead, the future of post-study services will focus on innovation in service concepts, collaboration models, products, and investment partnerships.

Last week, Tomato Education International had the honor of being invited to the 20th Anniversary Development Conference and Transnational Education Forum of the International Education College (IEC) at Shanghai University of Finance and Economics (SUFE). We are thrilled to share that we were recognized with the Top Potential Partner Award!   The IECSUFE is a pioneer in international education, being the first public college in Shanghai dedicated to preparing students for overseas studies and a strategic partner of CSCSE (Chinese Service Center for Scholarly Exchange, MOE) in East China. With a wide range of programmes—from foundation and diploma courses to pre-departure training.   At Funliving.com, we are proud to have partnered with IECSUFE in recent years to provide tailored student accommodation consulting and booking services. We know how challenging it can be for young students to leave home and begin their international education journey. That’s why we focus on delivering reliable, efficient, and personalized support to ensure students feel welcomed and at ease as they transition into this exciting new chapter. This recognition is a testament to our shared commitment to student success and the vibrant growth of international education. Thank you, IECSUFE, for this acknowledgment and for being a valued partner in this meaningful journey.
