M2 ACADEMY // ORCHARD GATEWAY @ EMERALD

Ever since I graduate from Ngee Ann Polytechnic, I did not further my studies as I feel the fees are really expensive and I may not be doing a job with what I’ve studied. And I have very blessed parents who are totally fine with me just heading out to source for work and gain experience. My dad once told me is not about qualification is how much work experience you have that an employer wants to hire you immediately. Despite all this reasoning, I still do believe there are some who really feel more secure having a degree. That is not wrong. If you have the determination to strive further, you should go ahead. 

 Last week, I’ve attended M2 Academy open house and it was really mind blowing! Usually, school to me is more like spending 3 to 4 years taking exams, doing project work or going for internship. However, when it comes to M2 Academy, it is more than just these factors. M2 Academy is centrally located in the heart of the city at orchardgateway@emerald, making it highly accessible to many.

M2 Academy believes that education is possibly one of the most important investments one will ever have to make. Thus, it is their responsibility to ensure that students receive a great return on their investments, and the core of this proposition lies with her partner universities.
At M2 Academy, they have implemented the flipped classroom approach, which is different from the usual lecture and tutorial style of learning. This is a form of combine learning in which students learn new content online by watching video lectures, and what used to be homework (assigned problems) is now done in class with teachers offering more personalized guidance and interaction with students, instead of lecturing. This motivates students to learn by doing and asking questions more directly and quickly. Students can also help one other, a process that benefits both the advanced and less advanced learners.
