Great team to work with
I am STEM tutor at AscendNow since June 2021. Over the years working with students and coordinators, I think the team has come a long way. Everyone on the team tries to give his/her best.

What people say
I work for Ascend Now as an Entrepreneurship and Research Educator
I work for Ascend Now as an Entrepreneurship and Research educator. This has been the best professional journey i’ve ever had. People here are caring, real and approachable. I am able to share any concerns or any issues confidently without a veil. Ascend Now is all about nurturing young minds and empowering them to be leaders of tomorrow. I interact with students around the globe teaching them business by guiding to build on-the-ground actual entrepreneurial enterprises and helping them with research skills. The Entrepreneurship program at Ascend Now is meticulously planned and structured which enables young minds to plan, design and start business/project on their own. The curriculum teaches them aspects of business and trains them to pitch their business ideas to investors. Students are given first hand experience in a business competition called BullPen which enables them to pitch to experts and investors while enjoying a healthy competition with their peers around the world. Each child making an impact in this ever-changing world, one step at a time. It is my pleasure to be a part and I cannot be more proud to be a part of this amazing organisation.
A dedicated team that helped my kids achieve their goals
We moved from China to Singapore recently, our two kids are at grade 7 and 9. The change from Chinese public school curriculum to a full English IB environment was very challenging for them, although their English level and their academic scores in their old school were very good, The whole switch of environment was too much for them. We came across AscendNow through our school network and it came as a very pleasant surprise! Each kid has their subject teachers and was given a teacher that oversees all of their subjects, called the performance coach, both the performance coaches my kids have been extraordinary! Helping my kids from the class arrangement, to progress monitoring and all the way to providing them small tricks and tips in adapting to the new country, goes beyond to point out and help which areas they can work harder on etc End of academic year, both kids caught up a lot compare to the beginning of last term. My kids go to a lot of classes, some better than others. Some I need to push them more than others, but with ascend now, my kids actually look forward to the classes. I am truly grateful.
A delightful work environment
I've worked at Ascend Now as an educator for the past 3 years, and it was one of the best decisions I've ever made. It's been a delight to be a part of this welcoming and supportive team of teachers, united by the common objective of helping our students become the best they can be. They provide us with useful resources, lesson plans, and a list of objectives to help us give our students the best experience. I've also had the pleasure of seeing my students grow into confident communicators, entrepreneurs, non-profit founders, designers and blog writers. Thank you Ascend Now for the opportunity you have given me to become a better person and educator.
My parents enrolled me in Ascend Now…
My parents enrolled me in Ascend Now when I was still in Middle School and back then I saw it as simply a your everyday tutoring service, but looking back I now see it as so much more. I took several different lessons, whether it was for my different subjects, essay writing, public speaking and many more. I still continued with them as I approached the end of my high school years being assisted in writing my supplemental essays and resumes. Through all those lessons, the best aspect of AscendNow than just helping ace my tests and applications is their holistic approach to education. Having recently applied and been accepted for the Deloitte Internship I see that it's more than just grades that matter, but your soft skills as well: leadership, critical thinking, and an entreprenurial mindset are just a few examples of the soft skills AscendNow has instilled in me that has played a major part in propelling me in my career in the present and future. I needed help to build up my resume, english lessons and also general university guidance. I was assigned my mentor, Ms Faaeza, who supported me from start to finish two years later until I got into my dream university: Stanford. What impressed me about Ascend Now was not only their dedication to my success, but more so their interest in building my skills - whether those were public speaking (I ended up shockingly publishing a podcast) or writing or e-sports. I am so thankful of their method - I will always be grateful to the whole team!
Ascend Now review
As a busy parent with a full-time job, I really wanted a one-stop shop that taught my kids how to manage their time and find their own passions. To me, college or university success did not matter as much, I truly wanted my kids (my son who was 14 at the time and daughter who was 10) to find out what their skill-sets were. After 1-year of enrolling in the entrepreneurship course, I was surprised to see my 10-year-old appear more confident, certain of herself and business-savvy. I was so pleased to see her business idea was interlinked with social impact: an app to help elderly with technology. My son, who was super hesitant to take the course, came out of it with a passion in financial literacy - he even later on developed his own course to teach others about money. I'd recommend Ascend Now in a second, to any parent, whether you are busy or helicopter, the educators really CARE for your child - and as a parent, I fall short in time and patience - Ascend Now really came through for me.
Ran out of words!
As an educator who has been in the field for many years, Ascend is the best working environment I've witnessed by far. Fabulous team, amazing Performance Coaches, second-to-none support! Everyone, literally everyone, is working their sweat off toward making students' personal and academic lives way better, and easier!

When I didn’t think I would pass my a levels, thank god my parents found Ascend! You guys are not just any other tutoring service, you guys are the whole package. I tutored with Devi who is a good friend! She not only was there for me as a tutor but there for me as a friend. Ascend helped with my confidence (I’m dyslexic so was very glad my tutor was able to tailor to my needs than simply throw information), but also post high school life! I still ask my former tutors for advice, as I know they got my back! And value their advice!

I came across Ascend Now as a sophomore at an elite boarding school in the US (Choate). I needed help to build up my resume, english lessons and also general university guidance. I was assigned my mentor, Ms Faaeza, who supported me from start to finish two years later until I got into my dream university: Stanford. What impressed me about Ascend Now was not only their dedication to my success, but more so their interest in building my skills - whether those were public speaking (I ended up shockingly publishing a podcast) or writing or e-sports. I am so thankful of their method - I will always be grateful to the whole team!

Hey, Jingxi. Thanks for the positive review. You're going to absolutely thrive in Stanford.
Ascend Now is…
Ascend Now is probably an experience that I would DEFINITELY recommend to others, especially those who want to make a change to our society or for those who want to share their passion to the world. Over the course of my Passion Project there were a lot of challenges, especially when I decided to do the worst thing for an introvert: start a Podcast. I also found this experience as a way to expand my skill set, via the podcast, especially my interviewing skills. Overall, Ascend now has given me the experience to expand on my skills (especially time management), as well as different perspectives I was not aware of until now.

Thanks, Juju! Your podcast is awesome. Also, learning soft-skills is so key to lifelong success!
I can’t thanks enough!!
Thanks to their flexible schedules, Ascend now helped me to balance my studies, sports, and interests. Although I was the only student to go to foreign universities, they kindly explained to me from scratch!! Additionally, those meetings greatly improved my English at the same time!

Hi Mei! We love the business you started with us and we hope that you continue to pursue entrepreneurship.
Ascendnow gives the best support …
Ascendnow has helped my daughter’s performance at school a lot. The teacher assigned to us has the best IB program capabilities, understands the curriculum, gives the right amount of guidance and homework to practice. Always available when need support. Super happy with the service.
Excellent career choice!
Ascend now is a great start for young minds. Especially when they are in a stage of being curious about everything around them. The 1 on 1 attention towards students is incredible! They are flexible in scheduling classes, works as per our convenience! The students are always excited to learn something new as their method of teaching is quite unique.
Tremendous counseling experience
Ascend and all the people who helped me through my college application and audition journey were my angels in disguise! Because of their dedicated team, passionate teachers/coaches and caring mentors, I now have the privilege of attending NYU’s drama school, having been accepted during its toughest acceptance year. I will always cherish my memories with ascend and all that they have done for me, thank you from the bottom of my heart!
Working closely with Devi
Working closely with Devi, Ethan, Kan, and the entire team has been an incredible experience. Their dedication and expertise drive our success. Learning and growth opportunities abound, enriching my professional skills and allowing me to contribute effectively. Building strong relationships with team members, clients, and parents has been truly rewarding, echoing AscendNow's ethos. Despite the remote setup, teamwork and collaboration remain at our core, propelling us forward and achieving milestones. AscendNow's exceptional team and culture make each day fulfilling. Looking forward to more growth and achievements.

Hey Akira! It was a pleasure working with your family. We're glad we could support your child in getting the results they wanted. Thank you for the review.
Personal Experience
I was fortunate to be connected with Ascend Now through a friend who had been with them before. I desperately needed help in quite a few subjects and my personal mentor, Arianna, was able to connect me with the teachers I needed to boost my grades. I found it interesting that I could connect with teachers around the globe to find the one who understood my needs best, and it worked! I definitely surprised my school teachers with my final IB score
Reply from Ascend Now2023-09-15
Yes, Arianna is the best! Thanks for the awesome review, Christopher. We're glad you aced your IB DP exams!
Teachers who CARE!
Teachers who CARE! I was happy to work with 4 teachers who genuinely cared by regular checking in, sharing extra resources, solving my multiple doubts at odd times through the year and most importantly teaching me techniques that gave me the confidence to crack my DP exams with a remarkable 41! Ascend Now has teachers who walk the extra mile!
