Kuala Lumpur, 31 January 2021 : Seven teachers from Taylor’s International School (TIS) were recently certified as Quantum Learning Site Facilitators, being the first to be awarded this prestigious recognition in Asia.

As qualified Site Facilitators, they are now equipped to train and influence the next generation of teachers utilizing the Quantum Learning system, which is proven to deliver a world-class learning experience that maximises learning for students.

“Our school is deeply committed to delivering high quality learning experiences for our students and this certification is a great example of how we intend to achieve this goal,” Peter Wells, Principal of TIS Kuala Lumpur said.


“Leveraging on the Quantum Learning approach, TIS is empowering its teachers to not only deliver quality classroom content but to also help its students make the most out of every learning opportunity.”

The Quantum Learning methodology, which was developed in the US, uses neuroscience as the basis for its teaching strategies. It seeks to nurture a joyful, meaningful and challenging learning environment for both teachers and students.

So far, it has already positively impacted more than 100,000 educators and millions of students worldwide.

“With such a powerful teaching and learning system in place, students will be more engaged and will experience impactful learning while at TIS,” Stefano Piumatti, Principal of TIS Puchong added.

“TIS upholds a high standard of academic rigour and excellence and we expect to see our students achieve even greater feats in the near future as they are guided by our passionate teachers who are certified Quantum Learning Educators.”

TIS has adopted Quantum Learning as a school-wide teaching system and was recognised as the world’s first Quantum Learning Distinguished School (QLDS) earlier last year.

“We have invested much into the quality of every teacher at TIS, to ensure that the person we have standing in front of the class is best equipped to help our students build an appetite for learning,” BK Gan, President of Taylor’s Schools said.

Quantum Learning in Teaching (Q-LIT)

In line with their objectives, a collaboration between TIS and Taylor’s University (Ranked Top 90 University in Asia) was launched today. The new Quantum Learning in Teaching (Q-LIT) programme provides the opportunity for Taylor’s University School of Education’s students pursuing undergraduate and postgraduate degrees to experience Quantum Learning at TIS. Q-LIT will allow the students to be fully immersed first-hand in the best teaching and learning practices as they engage with a QLDS recognised school. The experience of working together with such a diverse and robust school community will undoubtedly make them effective teachers.

“I am excited about this as it is an endorsement of the quality of our teachers at TIS, for us to be able to work alongside Taylor’s University in preparing the next generation of educators. We want to provide aspiring teachers with the opportunity to be mentored in an international school environment that models best teaching and learning practices,” explained Gan.

“I firmly believe that this partnership will be most beneficial for the students at TIS. What we have created at TIS amongst our teacher body is a penchant for self-improvement and learning, and that hunger will certainly rub off on our student body.”


“At Taylor’s University, we strive to provide our students with world-class education and producing high-calibre, industry-ready graduates who perform well in their careers. The opportunity to work with a globally recognised program such as Q-LIT, together with TIS, enhances our course and allow our students to gain real life experiences as they are given the tools and the know-how to prepare them for the working environment once they graduate. I believe that this partnership will focus on educating students to be the leaders of tomorrow by offering them a truly unique experience and exposure,” said Professor Dr Neethianathan Ari Ragavan, Executive Dean of the Faculty of Social Sciences and Leisure Management at Taylor’s University.
