Academy Director

My name is Brian Yang, and I am the Director at Gateway Academy with 16 years of experience working with students applying to colleges all over the world. As an academic counselor, my mission is to provide personalized guidance and support to each unique student.

I am passionate about helping students discover their dreams, college goals and reach their full potentials. Whether exploring academic and career paths, improving study habits, or dealing with personal challenges, I am committed to helping students develop the skills they need to succeed.

Over the years, I have sent numerous students to colleges of all types, from Ivy’s, UC’s, and universities in all sorts of countries. I know exactly what students at this stage in life are going through and know exactly how to get through each and every journey. I will personally build relationships with my students and always have the students' best interests in mind. 

I look forward to meeting you at Gateway Academy!
