About EnglishMY

Transforming English Education in Malaysia Since 2009

Our Journey

Founded in 2009 by Dr. Elena Richardson, a Cambridge-educated linguist, EnglishMY began as a small language center in Kuala Lumpur with a revolutionary vision: to make world-class English education accessible to every Malaysian. What started with just 12 students in a modest classroom has grown into Malaysia's premier English language institution, serving over 5,000 graduates from 40 countries.

Dr. Richardson's passion for language education was sparked during her years teaching at international universities across Asia. She recognized that traditional English teaching methods weren't effectively addressing the unique challenges faced by Malaysian learners. This insight led to the development of our proprietary "Cultural Bridge Methodology" - an innovative approach that respects local linguistic backgrounds while accelerating English proficiency.

Our breakthrough came in 2012 when we achieved a 97% IELTS success rate, the highest in Southeast Asia. This milestone attracted partnerships with leading Malaysian universities and multinational corporations, establishing EnglishMY as the go-to institution for serious English learners seeking career advancement and academic excellence.

Today, EnglishMY operates from our state-of-the-art facility in Kuala Lumpur Sentral, equipped with advanced language laboratories, virtual reality learning environments, and AI-powered assessment tools. Our commitment to innovation and excellence continues to drive us forward as we shape the future of English education in Malaysia.
