Progression Pathway

I joined HELP University's Master in Education in Teaching and Learning in 2018 after an 18 year hiatus from studying. I expected it to be a rough ride to get back into formal education. However, the lecturers made the transition a very smooth one. Many of the learning sessions included fresh and up-to-date theoretical input as well as practical opportunities. We were able to polish our critical thinking skills in addition to learning new methodologies. I found the content in all modules to be very useful, hands-on and meaningful for a teacher facing new challenges in this era of globalisation. Each lecturer was very approachable, helpful and had our welfare at heart and they drove us to surpass our potential. I am glad to have passed with distinction and I owe my success to HELP University for providing excellent educational standards

It was a challenge to do the Master of Education (Teaching and Learning) (MEd TL) while working as a full-time teacher at HELP International School. I was however blessed to have very supportive MEd TL lecturers and supervisors throughtout my graduate studies. My research supervisor guided me to be an effective teacher-researcher and helped me manage my time well. My research was selected to be presented at one of the HELP University’s Research Fest events and at one of the largest Chinese Language conferences in Singapore. The experience was awesome! I have since been successfully accepted into the Apple Distinguished Educators family where I am able to contribute powerful ideas for improving teaching and learning worldwide. I am truly thankful that HELP University's MEd TL gave me a solid foundation in the principles of teaching and learning. This has allowed me to advance in my profession as an educator
