Speaking of many lovers who ran away from New Oriental, Yu Minhong said that the one he was most impressed by was Hong Xiaowei. Hong Xiaowei used to be the national teaching and research director of New Oriental Study Abroad Express, and is a teaching authority on GRE writing, GMAT writing, SAT writing, and TOEFL writing in China, and has published 8 books on various overseas exams. In 2013, he co-founded Zhijiao Education with Zhai Shaocheng, the founder of New Oriental Correction Network, and Xu Guozhang English Foundation. Although Zhijiao is still young in the Chinese language training industry, it has won a lot of attention and praise. In 2013, it was selected into the Torch Plan of the Ministry of Science and Technology of the People's Republic of China, and in 2015, it obtained the national high-tech enterprise certificate and became an Internet education project supported by the state.

In 2017, Zhijiao, which received 200 million yuan in Series B financing from the National Science and Technology Jiahe Fund, is the pioneer of the online and offline flipped classroom in the language training industry. In the Zhijiao 1.0 period, the online English course platform "Zhijiao.com" and the composition and speaking correction tool "Jizhi Correction Network" were born, which included live streaming of questions, computer-modified speaking and composition, adaptive learning system, and video courses shot by documentary and film techniques. During the 2.0 period, the offline "Smart Class Abroad Elite Learning Center" was established, and the "flipped classroom" mode of teaching was adopted: students listened to the lectures online, the knowledge points they did not master were learned through offline teaching, the after-class homework was corrected by online foreign teachers, and the offline teachers commented; In the 3.0 period, the B-end intelligent education cloud was launched, which highly integrated the existing high-quality educational resources such as intelligent corpora and learning books.

Study abroad planning is a business that Zhijiao is proud of, and in 2018, it opened a new layout. The core functions of the Smart study abroad system include six modules: training center, knowledge base, service report, task center, school selection center and application management, which focus on solving the problems of time-consuming and laborious information query, difficult school selection and inefficient application for traditional study abroad. As a college library product, "Smart Course Selection Emperor" has covered more than 50 countries, including 12,960 universities and 2,425 high schools.

At present, the content of the online and offline courses of Zhijiao is the same, and the teaching services cover TOEFL, IELTS, NEW SAT, ACT, GRE, GMAT, AP and other projects. All classes are divided into 1-to-1 private customized classes, small classes of 3-6 people and full-custody classes; The customized class recommends the required class time according to the level test, and quotes it based on the target score, which is between 500 yuan and 800 yuan per hour; Small classes are divided into basic training classes and elite sprint classes, and full-course care classes are calculated on a multi-day basis. The whole process of supervision is very responsible, not only with morning reading, evening reading, word spot checks, oral reading, the supervising teacher will also give feedback to the students' parents every day learning progress and questions, and 24-hour Q&A, and give students psychological counseling, the details are more warm. In addition, there are also real mock tests in the learning process, carpet detection of knowledge blind spots; The online original Voice Grading system can diagnose speaking problems and correct pronunciation errors second-by-second; Manual correction in accordance with the official essay scoring rules, accurate itemized comments, and higher efficiency.

At present, Zhijiao focuses on high-quality teachers and course content, and has an excellent reputation. However, the content of online and offline teaching is the same, the price of online is obviously much cheaper, and the service items are more perfect.
