AEIS Successful Candidates
AEIS Candidates comments
After weeks of non-stop grind, my results slowly improved. I transferred into the upper secondary class where teachers made use of full English to converse in class. I really am most grateful to Ms. Priscilla, my parents and fellow classmates. The hard work paid off through our unwavering efforts, Henry and I were able to get enrolled in a government school together!
When I failed my first exam, I was extremely demotivated. Even so, my teachers, family and peers still supported me which helped me to gather myself together again.
During my days of preparation, it was tough yet enjoyable. With companion, to stay on the path to success was not lonely! I would like to give my thanks to Spring College International — both peers and teachers. Without you, I would not be where I am today!
