*Mindvalley was voted as one of the worlds Top 10 coolest offices in 2012.

We want to connect smart young people together

Head of Groupon Asia Pacific,


Groupon APAC
Joel Neoh

Taylors College helped me realise the importance of embracing


curiosity at an early age. Students were encouraged to explore,
to discover, to questions and to lead projects. The simple, childlike
curiosity to always want to know more, learn more, do more, see
more, and ultimately achieve more - was the foundation to the
educational experience for students in Taylors College. My one
year in Taylors College opened up my eyes to the importance of
being curious, which is the foundation of all entrepreneurship.

When I think back to my time at Taylors College, I am reminded


of the fun and effective lecturers, the interesting courses and
skills I gained - the ability to articulate oneself, see things from
different perspectives and to have an opinion. Today I find,
regardless of what I do and whom I met its these skills that
have enabled me to find success in all areas of my life.

Founder & CEO of EPIC Collaborative


John-Son Oei

Taylors College helped me understand that learning was beyond


books and academic success. I learned that a huge part of effective
communication is to understand your audience and at Taylors
College I have developed a sense of empathy and adaptability
towards other cultures which enhanced my communication and
presentation skills. Taylors College had also given me the chance
to realise my leadership potential.

Teach For Malaysia 2013 Fellow,
Ministry of Education
Wan Farihah Ahmad Fahmy

In a nutshell, my Taylors College experience can be


summed up in three words: education, excellence, and
experience. Serving as a teacher in a high-need rural
school, I strive every day to not only make my History
classes engaging and interesting for my students but most
importantly, I try to instill in them all the values that Taylors
College taught me: hard work, self-belief, determination,
dedication, and the importance of education as a tool for
ones life enrichment.

Founder & Group Managing Director of Integricity Group


Alex Lam

The one year I spent in Taylors College is still recounted with


fondness. Looking back in time, the analytical thought process
and experience I gained was extremely valuable to my ability to
efficiently run and own an array of companies today that provides
creative, technology, event and visual services to many of the top
brands in Malaysia.

Huen Su Yin

The short duration in Taylors College got me into University


much quicker. It gave me a head start and through the
flexibility of my classes, it had definitely encouraged
the development of my social skills and increased my
aspirations to discover more in the world. When I enrolled,
I didnt exactly know what I wanted to study at my tertiary
level of education but when I was done with Taylors Pre-U,
I knew I wanted to do more, go further and discover
new adventures.

It was under the encouraging environment


at Taylors College that I developed a nonyielding commitment for excellence, which I
believe served as a foundation for all my life
achievements thereafter. Life has turned out to
be a remarkable journey for me, and I have no
doubt it all started at Taylors College.

in many of those activities and have wonderful experiences. Towards
