A Transformative Education at SINDA

At SINDA, Indian students’ education and academic performance have always been our raison d’etre. In an evolving educational landscape, we have worked to keep ahead of students’ academic needs.

These days, the community is familiar with SINDA’s popular tutorial programmes—STEP, Teach and Project Guide— which close learning gaps. Did you know the tutors, too, get learning support from us? Enhanced training equips them to enrich the students’ lessons.

Our support is holistic. Even parents and families are encouraged to be involved in the child’s studies, through initiatives such as Education Plus and the Equal Opportunity Fund. We strive to ensure the learning journey is unhindered. Challenging circumstances like this COVID-19 pandemic only prove SINDA’s ability to adapt; our move online has seen close to 4,500 students benefit from our e-learning platforms. Equipment and internet access were provided for families without.

Indeed, SINDA, in collaboration with schools, continues to build a path for our students towards a bright future. Whether it is boosting scholastic ability, taking care of mental well-being or looking out for family life, our focus remains firmly on the child. Our children deserve the best, and that is what we aim to offer.

A Story of Success

Aakash Dubey, 20

Throughout his academic journey, Aakash has been a familiar face at STEP, having been in the programme from Primary One through Junior College. Now 20 years old, he was named top student in the A-Level Category of the SINDA Excellence Awards 2020 and readily credits his STEP tutors for his success.

“All these years, I chose to continue with STEP because of the teachers. They encouraged me when I felt hopeless. Their support, both academic and emotional, never failed to motivate me. I would have never moved on from the headwinds that I had encountered or achieved the results I had without their enduring help and guidance. From well-planned lessons that ensured there were several main takeaways to having my tutors check up on my mental well-being, STEP has been instrumental in moulding me into the person I am today.”
