UK Education Portal is an independent guide and advisory service for international students and families choosing a UK education. We help families compare boarding schools, universities, pathway courses and summer schools — and we support them through every step, from the first conversation to the first day of term and beyond.
Our advice is genuinely independent. We are here to help each family make the right choice for their child, not to promote any single school. That impartiality, combined with deep knowledge of the UK education system and a real understanding of the needs of international families, is what sets us apart.

Meet the team
Liam
As a co-founder, Liam leads our marketing and business development across China, drawing on almost a decade of experience supporting Chinese families with their education ambitions. He holds a Master's degree in Finance and a second Master's in International Relations, both from highly regarded UK universities — pairing sharp financial insight with a genuinely global outlook.
What sets Liam apart is his expertise in cross-cultural communication and international education consulting. He bridges the gap between Chinese families and life-changing opportunities in the UK, translating not just language but culture, expectations and ambition.
Liam lives between Oxford and Xi'an, spending around six months of the year in each. It keeps him equally at home in British education and in the communities of the families he supports — and means there is always someone close by, whichever side of the world you are on.
