About Us
YOURS TRULY was born of the idea that each child deserves their best opportunity to reach their fullest potential.
While parents always have their most loving intentions in mind, they are also inundated with the pressures of everyday life, and are receptive to always looking for solutions for the betterment of their child's development.
Founded by Ashley Park, mother of young Kaius, and Darryl Agon, father of toddler Luca, YOURS TRULY strives to leverage passion for education to meet practical needs, and to offer a warm, supportive, and stimulating environment for children to grow into happy, strong, enlightened leaders of tomorrow.
Ashley Park
Director
Ashley grew up in a supportive family with all four of her grandparents being educators, shaping her interest and passion for teaching. Witnessing first hand the profound effects caring teachers can have on impressionable young minds, she was inspired by seeing students return as grown-ups to show appreciation for academic and life lessons learned under her grandparents’ tutelage. Indeed, with the empathy and support given to their students as if their own children, Ashley always feels she has scores of close relatives worldwide who share the enduring feeling of empowerment as taught by her grandparents.
Taking this to heart, Ashley feels a huge sense of responsibility and optimism when she’s tasked with educating children. Not only is it important for her to teach them how to count, but also to teach them what counts the most in life. Following in her grandparents’ example, by inspiring and opening minds, she finds education as a means to repay society as a whole, shaping future generations.
She loves children, loves teaching, and is eager how to maximize her language skills, educational background, and understandings about culture, languages, music, and people for the greater good. Join her with YOURS TRULY to make a meaningful difference for a more positive world.

Darryl Agon
Director
Darryl was born and raised in Vancouver, Canada and remembers fondly every school teacher he had since Kindergarten until University. Somewhat mirroring Ashley, his grandfather was a teacher in Rosaryhill School Hong Kong in the 1940s, while his father was a hospitality educator in Canada in the 1980s. He too feels their life and academic lessons taught him have played an indelible role in his general outlook in life and overall perspectives.
Now as a father himself to a toddler, he holds no greater concern than raising his son as a happy, thoughtful, insightful, and well-rounded little gentleman, and sincerely empathises with the full spectrum of parental concerns.
Darryl graduated with a Bachelor of Commerce degree from the University of British Columbia, and as a hospitality consultant, developed numerous hospitality and entertainment facilities in Asia Pacific.
As one example, he ushered the NBA Playzone brand to be launched in China in 2015; as a then newly introduced concept, Darryl was instrumental in developing child entertainment programming, childcare operating procedures, basketball training programs, and even orchestrating mascot performances and guidelines. These days, as a personal interest, he is pursuing an ice hockey coaching certification.
Meanwhile when he is working with YOURS TRULY, he brings over twenty years’ experience of running a successful executive recruitment firm, and his long-standing record of operating with superior integrity. Sourcing, attracting, mixing cultures, and cultivating talent networks is a professional specialty, and he enjoys the matchmaking process of discovering and introducing specific talent for the most discerning clients.
