About lǐng duò
For me, the answer comes from a question that is becoming impossible to ignore: in an age where AI is everywhere, what is the real advantage of traditional education?
Looking back on my own schooling, we were trained to memorize more and do more practice problems. But that kind of “advantage” is no longer scarce. If learning is simply stuffing answers into the mind to survive an exam, machines can now do it faster—and more accurately.
What concerns me even more is this: AI has begun to outperform most people in language output and logical reasoning. We are gradually getting used to handing questions to AI and outsourcing tasks to AI—humans become more dependent, while AI grows more “independent.” The system ends up training the machine, not the person, pushing us closer to replacement and marginalization.
Parents are feeling this too. Many have invested heavily in drill-based tutoring, only to see their children retain more information without learning how to think independently, distinguish truth from noise, or stay in control in the AI era.
That is why Lǐng Duò exists. We see the problem clearly: 21st-century education cannot remain an arms race of memorization and test prep. It must answer a more fundamental question—in a world saturated with AI, how should we learn, and how should we think?
Why
We Exist？
Studying for exams and chasing standard answers no longer fits the needs of today’s market. The real advantage belongs to those who can frame complex problems in the future.
We believe teachers play an indispensable role as guides. First, they help students actively find problems that have no easy answers. Second, they coach students to use new tools wisely to pursue solutions. Teach students to think, not just to recall; teach them how to fish, not merely to be given a fish.
For this reason, we have partnered with a Canadian institution, The Institute of Higher Learning.

The Institute of Higher Learning
The Institute of Higher Learning is an education organization focused on strengthening students’ academic skills through transition programs for high school students and early-stage university learners. Its core mission is to develop critical thinking, close reading, and advanced writing and speaking—helping students move from exam-driven learning to a university environment that values independent study and deeper inquiry.
