Jeya
Master Trainer and Director (Programmes)
Jeya is a memory and study skills trainer and a director of ConnectLearn, responsible for programmes. Since 1996 he has spoken and trained in nine countries, and he has taught more than 68,000 people, from school students to professionals, how to learn and retain information faster.
How he started
Jeya struggled with his own college exams, Law in particular, and his lecturer was little help. Then he found The Memory Book by Harry Lorayne, and the memory techniques in it got him through. When he became a tutor, the same methods improved his students' grades. He had never planned to teach them on a larger scale. In 1996 schools and colleges began inviting him to share the techniques with their students, and the work grew from there.
Where he has taught
He has taught in Malaysia, China, Brunei, India, Sri Lanka, Cambodia, the Maldives, Thailand and Singapore. His students are of all ages and backgrounds. He has run workshops and seminars for learners from primary school to university, and he is often asked to speak on study skills, communication skills, sales and creative thinking.
Training for organisations
Jeya also trains staff in companies in Malaysia and overseas. Organisations he has trained include Prudential, Honda, Malaysia Airlines, the Central Bank of Malaysia, Tenaga Nasional and the National Science Centre.
As a speaker
He is a past Vice President of the Malaysian Association of Professional Speakers (MAPS) and remains an active member. Toastmasters International awarded him the Competent Toastmaster (CTM) title, and he is a past President of USJ Toastmasters Club.
