Mr. Musthofa's educational history is when he was 6 years old, he went to elementary school at MI Nurul Huda Jenisari. He did not go to kindergarten because there was no kindergarten in his village at that time. So he went straight to elementary school. But he only went to school for 5 years at MI then took a national exam and he passed. When he wanted to enroll in middle school it turned out that his age was not enough, so he went back to school at Elementary School 5 Genteng. And so he got 2 certificates from elementary school. And when he was 11 years old, his father passed away. Therefore he does everything himself, including when he enrolls in SMPN 1 Genteng. Apparently he was not accepted there, so he met the principal and begged to be able to go to school there. Then with some consideration, finally the school principal allowed him to go to school at SMPN 1 Genteng. Even though his life has many problems, but he never complained about that because he believed that everything happened to him, God have best plan for him. He believes there must be wisdom to it all. Without protracted in sadness he chose to live like water that continues to flow. Even during his junior high school, he experienced the most embarrassing and unforgettable event in his life. He had been sentenced to run around the school 7 times and had to take off his clothes during the ceremony because he did not wear the complete attributes according to school regulations. It is truly not forgotten, until now he still remembers it. After graduating from junior high school, he continued his study at SMAN 1 Genteng.

But he could not realize these goals because of financial problem. Finally he chose to study at Jember University and majored in English Literature.

After completing his Bachelor's degree he continued to pursue a Masters in the same department but at a different University in Malang namely Islamic University of Malang. After graduating he went to Australia to join in the Cesol Program which learn about learning methods for 3 years. After completing his studies, he worked at Roxy Shoes Company as marketing for 6 years.
