What New Oriental Vision Overseas Consulting does

New Oriental Vision Overseas Consulting (新东方前途出国) is a Beijing-headquartered, wholly-owned subsidiary of New Oriental Education & Technology Group (NYSE: EDU) that operates as a full-stack study abroad consulting platform for Chinese students and families. The company was founded in 1996 and has grown to 48 branch offices across 42+ Chinese cities plus five overseas support offices in London, Sydney, Melbourne, Tokyo, and Canada, with a headcount exceeding 10,000 including 2,000+ consultants. Its service catalog spans comprehensive university application consulting, standardized test preparation (IELTS, TOEFL, SAT, GRE, GMAT) via integration with the parent group's Koolearn subsidiary, foundation pathway programs (notably the Bellerbys College partnership operating on Beijing/Nanjing/Harbin Institute of Technology campuses), elite-track programs such as the Oxbridge Camp and UK Rising Plan, multi-country simultaneous graduate applications, minority-language training (Japanese, Korean, German, French, Spanish, Italian), and post-arrival cross-border services including overseas accommodation, tuition payment, insurance, and career planning.

The technology stack centers on a web and WeChat mini-program platform (liuxue.xdf.cn) combining an AI-powered school recommendation engine (AI智能选校), a multi-country application management system, and consumer-facing calculation/assessment tools (GPA Calculator, Cost Calculator, Study Abroad Assessment, ROI Calculator). Proprietary features include the 多国联申 (Multi-Country Application System) for unified cross-country document management and the AI School Selection System, which leverages approximately a decade of historical admission outcomes. The customer-facing stack also includes a 400-980-5599 hotline, Douyin/Xiaohongshu/Weibo social channels, and offline educational seminars, supporting a hybrid sales-led and self-service funnel.

Revenue is generated through fee-based professional services across four streams: study abroad consulting packages, academic preparation programs, language training, and cross-border ancillary services. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; consulting packages typically carry multi-year contract structures while test prep and language courses follow subscription/monthly cadences. Customer monetization is anchored in B2C relationships with Chinese student households across all academic tiers (primary through doctoral), with 36,000+ students served over the past decade and 70,000+ TOP50 university offers accumulated. The company has no external disclosed funding and operates as a captive subsidiary of the listed parent.
