Founder of Stellar Education, Daniel has a dream of founding an independent private International School which would cater for what he believes; that all students should have an opportunity to obtain a quality education. During his years of studying at Monash University, he began providing private tutoring to high school and university students. After years of coaching the students, he gained tremendous satisfaction in observing the transformation of his students, so he decided to pass up working at an Accounting firm and to instead serve the students of Sunway College as an Accounting lecturer after receiving his CPA and Master degree in Melbourne, Australia. Using his insight and experience as a coach of higher level education in both Malaysia and Australia, he resolved to establish a private institution in Johor Bahru offering Primary and Secondary education starting with a vision to provide quality education for the community in the year 2013.
