We Grok our client institutions and the diverse cultures in which we operate.

The word Grok was coined by Robert Heinlein in his iconic science fiction book Stranger in a Strange Land. To Grok something means to understand it so thoroughly that you become part of it.

As the only service provider of our kind, offering a unique array of services, we can work alongside your institution’s agents, pathway providers, and other partners, with no conflicts of interest.

Why Choose Us?

“The Canadian International School (Vietnam) was pleased to host a parent seminar presented by the Grok Community on “Financing Your Child’s University Education”. Reflecting our students’ most common country destinations, our parents learned more about understanding how to plan for their child’s university investment in Canada, the USA and Australia. The presentation was the most well attended of all parent seminars this year at the school. We look forward to a continued partnership with the Grok Schools Community in order to further support our students and families in making these important decisions.”

Why Choose Us?

“Both China and New Zealand have been going through significant reforms in the vocational education sector. To fully understand the opportunities for New Zealand TVET providers, in 2020, Education New Zealand commissioned Grok to undertake market research in the Greater China region. The project was extensive, and we were glad to see such an informative and professionally prepared report with valuable insights, and presentations to ENZ and our key stakeholders. This project has helped create positive and engaging conversations across different departments in New Zealand in order to form a more strategic approach with governments, institutions, and enterprises in China. We enjoyed working with Grok, as their team are professional, knowledgable, and are really nice to work with.”

Why Choose Us?

“The Grok team undertook a key in-country competitor analysis helping to better ensure the University was well informed in developing its business plan and importantly also in its negotiations. Grok helped to develop the assignment and then delivered on-time and with all of the information requested. Grok’s a great organisation to work with, intelligent, well-informed and on the ground. I’d highly recommend Grok.”

Founder & Board Chair

I created Grok to build a best-in-class company that helps universities around the world to do a better job of recruiting students and building partnerships. As an entrepreneur, I am driven to build a company that not only deeply serves clients but that provides meaningful professional experiences for young people.

My proudest achievement is Grok’s many satisfied clients, and I’m equally proud that Grok is a great employer in markets where such are often in short supply. Everyone at Grok is dedicated to making the company better year after year, and while we’re devoted to our current clients, we are also excited to grow and to welcome new partners to the Grok family.
