Service Process
The advisory team identified the client’s core concerns as a mature married student — being away from family, cultural adjustment, and family separation. Through in-depth discussions and sharing of similar cases, the team effectively alleviated her anxieties.
Ms Zhu noted that she had consulted other agencies but had not received satisfactory advice. She ultimately chose Letu Education to handle her application. The team finalised an application to the Postgraduate Diploma programme at Waikato Institute of Technology.
Final Result
- Received a conditional offer of admission within just two weeks
- Successfully graduated and secured employment with a local New Zealand company
- Subsequently engaged Letu Education to handle secondary school applications for her children
