THE CANADIAN WAY OF TEACHING: CELEBRATING POTENTIAL UNLIMITED!

Canadian Pre-University (CPU) teachers go the distance. Their goal is to unleash the unlimited potential inside of all these young people and we have witnessed their work on many special occasions. CPU teachers have brought lessons and adventure to life when they led CPU students on educational fieldtrips to the Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia and East Java. Everyone Has Hope: See the World through Our Eyes photography project involved a number of CPU teachers and students and was featured in The Star newspaper, NTV7 documentary, and local radio. This important project gave Burmese e refugee children living in Kuala Lumpur an opportunity to learn photography skills and d tell their stories to the world. The project has completed its second installment involving students from 2011 intakes. Taylors CPU students and teachers put together spectacular musical productions in 2010 and regular talent show productions ns since 2011. Both were tremendous successes. The spirit of music and theatre lives on in L.I.V.E. Club which performs at various events within and outside of Taylors. y The E-Learning Revolution Has Begun The world has changed so why not the classroom? CPU teachers are currently involved in spearheading two o separate technological pilots in their classes. Come find out more about what Harvard Business School first called d Hybrid Online/In-Class Learning and the Canadian migration towards using the Apple iPad in classroom learning of the 21st Century.

Taylors Canadian Pre-University programme invites students and parents to visit any of our classes during CPU Open House so that they may witness the awesome learning experience that is the Canadian programme at Taylors.

Since I was 13 when I first became a swimming instructor, I knew that I wanted to work with kids and help them develop and grow into productive members of society. Teaching never feels like a job because I love coming to work every day. I have taught in Slovakia and China before coming to Malaysia. I look forward to many more years of teaching here and a lifelong career in education.

I would catch and keep bugs in little containers and annoy my parents with questions about animals and life. After college, I worked as a lab technician but I was not enthusia stic about it. I realized that my career should be focused on what I am most passiona te about, so I went to university and became a teacher. It seemed natural as I come from a family of educators! I have previously taught in South Korea and China before moving to Malaysia.
