Endang (16 Years Old) and Joni (14 Years Old)
Endang and Joni are siblings who made their way from their hometown in Indonesia in hope to enter a government school in Singapore. In 2009, they joined Stalford’s Preparatory Course for Entry into Government Schools. When they first joined the Academy, they had a poor command of the English language and were struggling to cope with linguistic demands in Singapore, scoring no more than 30 marks in their language examinations. Understanding the situation that they were in, Stalford worked with them intensively to improve their grades and ensured they were imparted the necessary fundamentals for a firm grasp and mastery of the language. After over 2 months of intensive lessons, Endang and Joni took part in the mandatory entry examinations to enter a government school. They not only attained outstanding results but also managed to secure elusive spots in prestigious schools.
Stalford’s assistance did not just end there. Every night after school, Endang and Joni would still seek assistance from teachers at Stalford to work on all their subjects ranging from languages to mathematics and the sciences. The teachers guided them closely and within a short period of one year, Endang and Joni rose above their peers in school and attained the second spot in their respective levels.
Endang and Joni were convinced that the genuine care and guidance given by Stalford’s teachers and staff helped them tremendously in adjusting to life in Singapore. They made them feel welcome and spent countless hours identifying their strengths and weaknesses while teaching them how to do better at their subjects. If not for Stalford’s all round care for its students, the siblings would have faced many issues braving the waters of a new country on their own.
With continual hard work and invaluable guidance from Stalford, Endang and Joni are looking forward to a bright future together.
