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 oneducational fi eldtrips 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 refugee children living in Kuala Lumpur an opportunity to learn photography skills and tell their stories to the world. The project has completed its second installment involving students from 2011 intakes.

Taylor’s CPU students and teachers put together spectacular musical productions in 2010 and regular talent show productions 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 Taylor’s.

The E-Learning Revolution Has BegunThe world has changed so why not the classroom? CPU teachers are currently involved in spearheading two separate technological pilots in their classes. Come fi nd out more about what Harvard Business School fi rst called “Hybrid Online/In-Class Learning” and the Canadian migration towards using the Apple iPad in classroom learning of the 21st Century.

Taylor’s 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 Taylor’s.

Bachelor of Education, University of Ottawa

Hometown: Moncton, New Brunswick

“I became a teacher after a rigorous academic road. I attended three diff erent

universities in Canada to pursue my passion in mathematics and education.

Teaching has always interested me but I never knew if it was my true calling in life.

After some experience with mathematics research, I quickly gained a preference for

working as a teaching assistant or a tutor. Now that I am a teacher, I make sure to put

the same eff ort into teaching that I put into schoolwork.”

“I encourage my students to educate their whole

self, not just the

academic side.”

“I teach to

awaken joy

knowledge”

Andreas Rotta-LoriaBachelor of Arts, Political Science and History, McGill University, CanadaDiploma in Education, Deakin University, AustraliaHometown: Toronto, Ontario

“It did not take me long to fi gure out that I loved teaching. Since I was 13 when I fi rst 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.”

“Is English

the gateway to business

and technology in a global

economy? You bet it is!”

Stephen WiseBachelor of Arts, English, Guelph University

Bachelor of Education, University of Toronto

36 years teaching experience

Hometown: London, United Kingdom

“The English program at CPU is your best choice to get the skills and profi ciency

you need to succeed wherever your university education takes you. Far from

dull, boring lectures, you will be interacting in small group studies, preparing

and presenting dramas and video trailers, and learning how to defend your own

ideas in an intellectual stimulating environment. Courses are off ered in a wide

range of English competence, so whatever your English skills are at present,

there will be a course for you. At CPU we want you to succeed, and in English at

CPU you will do just that!”

Masters of Education, Ottawa University

30 years teaching experience

Hometown: Ottawa, Ontario

“I utilise the latest brain research, novelty, humour and refl ective teaching to

engage students in the fi elds of psychology, anthropology, and sociology. For

example, when conducting a social science experiment, I stood on a chair prior to

students entering my class. Upon entering the class, each and every student stood

on their chair. They did not know why they were doing it and it stimulated much

discussion around peer pressure and group mentality.”discussion around peer pressure and group me y

Tan Swee ChuanBachelor of Science with Education, Physics, University of Malaya

Hometown: Perak, Malaysia

“I have always been fascinated by how people learn and what stimulates

learning. Over the years, I have discovered interesting things about how people

learn and yet there are always new challenges that surfaced and caused me to

re-think things. That’s most fascinating! Besides Malaysia, I have also lived and

worked in Australia. Along the journey, I have discovered that it’s incredibly

fulfi lling to see students not only acquiring the academic knowledge but

developing a passion for learning and growing in life!”

“Since I was a child, I’ve always had a keen interest in living things. 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 enthusiastic about it. I realized that my career should be focused on what I am most passionate 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.”

“I am passionate about world issues and

hope my students will

become global citizens.”

Colin Boyd Shafer Bachelor of Arts (Hons) (Med), Environmental Science and Psychology,

Queen’s University

Masters of Education, York University

Hometown: Kitchener, Ontario

“I have a natural passion for issues aff ecting our world. No generation is more

important than the one we teach. This passion is shared daily with my students,

and I hope when they leave my class they will be global citizens. Every semester my

class runs a World Issues Conference as part of their Independent Study Unit (ISU)

that allows students to engage with local organisations, meet key fi gures in their

community and discuss pressing global issues and the local solutions needed to solve

them. The Canadian Pre-University is all about building well-rounded individuals, and

that is a mission I support.”

CPU Student Success Teachers

CPU Student Success teachers are teachers who are charismatic, student-centred and focused. They are subject specialists and also expert in counselling students who need help in achieving the goals they have set for themselves.

Students can ask for an appointment with a student success teacher on their own. The teachers then work with the student outside of their regular classroom time, either one-on-one, or in a small group setting.
