“In Jan 2014, I graduated from Grade 8. During the winter holidays, my family and I travelled to Singapore. At the time, I had no intention to study in Singapore, but in that short time we realised that Singapore has a beautiful environment, good law enforcement and a peaceful society. Thus, we made the decision to enrol in a Singapore school. With my friends' support, my mother found me a guardian. I came to know the teachers here, as well as many students from other countries. Alvina is a graduate of the University of Hull; she has been active in providing educational services. As my English proficiency was not very good initially, I studied at SSTC's language school for half a year. I would go to Educare4u for tuition after classes. Under their tutelage, I was offered a place in CIS. I was well taken care of during my stay, as my laundry, meals and cleaning were all taken care of.
Today, I am well-acclimatised to the learning and living environment in Singapore. Alvina has been a constant source of support. I feel at home here. If I was given another chance, I would make the same decision to study here."
