Speak from minute one
Every lesson opens with speaking, not slides. You will use new language out loud before you ever see it written down — because that is the order real conversation demands.
Who We Are
A small academy with stubborn standards
We opened our doors in Mont Kiara in 2013 with two classrooms and one belief: nobody learns to speak a language by sitting quietly in a big class.
Our story
CoachCare Academy began when two teachers — one from Manchester, one from Kuala Lumpur — kept meeting the same student: bright, hardworking, years of English schooling behind them, and still terrified to speak. The problem was never ability. It was classes built for thirty people where speaking five sentences a week counted as participation.
So we built the opposite. Groups capped at eight. Coaches, not lecturers, who track each learner by name. A progress review every four weeks so nobody drifts. Twelve years later the academy has grown to nine classrooms, a conversation lounge and a dedicated exam-preparation wing, but the cap of eight has never moved.
Today more than 4,800 learners have passed through our doors — students heading abroad, professionals climbing into regional roles, and children discovering that English can be the fun part of the week.
How We Teach
Four habits we refuse to break
Correct kindly, correct always
Errors are data, not embarrassments. Coaches note recurring mistakes and build them into your next lessons instead of letting them fossilise.
Measure every four weeks
A short assessment every month keeps your level honest. You and your coach see the same numbers and adjust the plan together.
Teach the person, not the book
Coursebooks are scaffolding. If your goal is a job interview in March, your lessons bend toward that interview — vocabulary, rehearsal and all.
The team behind the whiteboard
Our teaching staff of fourteen combines native English speakers from the UK, Ireland, Australia and Canada with bilingual Malaysian coaches who know exactly which English sounds trip up local learners — because they once tripped over them too.
- Every coach holds a CELTA, DELTA or TESOL qualification and teaches full time.
- Our exam-preparation team includes two former IELTS examiners.
- Kids' classes are led by teachers with early-childhood education training.
- Academic direction is reviewed each term by an external moderator.
