主讲者：著名华裔教育顾问－－魏昕先生

著名华裔教育顾问魏昕先生经常教诲学生：“想进入心中理想的名校，首先要对自己有信心！敢于想象自己已经置身于它的校园，才会为此而全力打拼！”这是他勉励学生的话语， 也是他自己人生奋斗的写照。1980年，魏昕先生作为中、美建交后第一批小留学生来到美国， 曾经获得加州奥林匹克数学竞赛第一名，以全额奖学金被著名常春藤大学——宾夕法尼亚大学录取！随后， 魏昕先生先在华尔街及硅谷成功创业。与此同时，他还担任过宾大的录取面试官。 2004年，魏先生和斯坦福大学前副校长、教务长米勒博士等一批志同道合的常春藤校友发起和创办了飞达学院，希望帮助更多心怀名校梦的孩子达成心愿！ 

由於多年来一直担任常春藤面试官，魏昕先生与各大名校交情甚笃，颇受尊重，经常接触到极有价值的讯息。近年来飞达学院国际化团队在魏昕先生的带领下，目前拥有世界一流名校的专家，丰富的美国名校资源，以专业资质，规划理念和科技力量，帮助了大批莘莘学子梦想成真，其学员被全美各大顶尖名校入取的比例之高让家长感激，同行羡慕。飞达的专业辅导成绩在美国华人社会中也声名远播。

魏昕先生近年来一直担任1300电台定期教育嘉宾主持及东森电视和国际卫视教育节目“解开常春藤密码”、洛杉矶18电视台和凤凰卫视“天天话题”等教育节目特邀嘉宾。魏昕先生为海外华人誉为“常春藤教父”。 

 多年来栉风沐雨，魏昕先生和他领导的团队在教育领域独领风骚！飞达学院是目前加州规模最大的华人教育培训机构之一，每年为常春藤等一流名校名校输送成千上万名品学兼优、全面发展并具有国际化视野的未来华裔精英。近年来，在魏先生的指导下，美国飛達學院为美国大学理事会SAT应考经典书籍成功出版了一套SAT题解，深度剖析SAT权威的思想精髓，受到海内外学子们的极大推崇。作为美国升学顾问，名校录取战略专家，魏昕老师希望帮助更多怀揣名校梦的芊芊華裔学子顺利进入美国常春藤等一流大学﹐为推动華裔教育事业努力奋斗。﹗
