Why English Specifically

English does not fail loudly. It leaks into every other subject.

A child who reads slowly loses marks in Science and Maths problem sums before they lose them in English. A child who cannot organise a paragraph will struggle with Sejarah and Geografi essays in Form 1. Weak English rarely shows up as a bad English mark first. It shows up as a child who is “careless” everywhere.

We hear them read first

Before we teach anything new, we listen to your child read and look at how they write. That tells us whether the gap is phonics, vocabulary, grammar or structure.

Then we build it properly

Not model answers to memorise. Reading comprehension technique, grammar in context, and writing that is planned, drafted and corrected until it holds together.

And we keep them using it

English improves through use, not worksheets alone. Small classes mean every child reads aloud, speaks up and has every piece of writing marked and discussed.

Every English Syllabus

National and Cambridge English, under one roof

Your child is taught the English their own school examines, then taken one step further, so reading, writing and speaking feel natural rather than tested.

Phonics and Early Reading, Age 3 to 6

Sound-by-sound reading, phonics-based reading practice, pre-writing and handwriting. For children heading to national and international schools.

Primary English, Standard 1 to 6

KSSR-aligned English with UASA and PBS preparation. Reading comprehension, grammar, vocabulary and guided writing.

Cambridge Primary and Checkpoint English

For international school children, including Checkpoint preparation. Structured English that has helped children move from Chinese-medium and national schools into international schools.

Form 1 to 3 and Cambridge Lower Secondary

Structured writing, comprehension technique and the vocabulary that quietly lifts marks in every other subject. Year 7 to 9 Checkpoint preparation for international school students.

SPM English

Form 4 and 5. Comprehension, summary, directed and continuous writing, past year papers and the exam technique that turns understanding into marks.

IGCSE English, First and Second Language

Cambridge IGCSE English taught by a specialist with a genuinely different approach: reading, writing and coursework craft.

How We Teach It

Six to eight children. Every piece of writing read.

Small groups

Classes of six to eight. Every child reads aloud and speaks up, and the teacher hears where the gaps are. One-to-one is available for focused catch-up.

Teachers with 30+ years

The same teachers, year after year. Many of our students stay with us from phonics all the way through to IGCSE or SPM English.

Past papers, properly used

For UASA, Checkpoint, SPM and IGCSE we work through real past papers under real conditions, then go back over every lost mark.

Writing that is marked

Every essay, summary and comprehension answer is marked and discussed, not just ticked. Writing improves through correction, and correction only helps if it is explained.

Confidence, not just marks

Most children who “hate English” are simply afraid of getting it wrong in front of others. In a small, patient class that fear goes faster than parents expect.

Free trial first

Your child sits a real English lesson before you commit. Join afterwards and we waive the registration fee.

A Parent’s Words

“In 11 months, her English improved dramatically”

★★★★★

“My daughter joined the English class in Grade 3 at a Chinese school, before moving to an international school. In just 11 months, my daughter’s English improved dramatically, making her transition incredibly smooth and confident. Beyond teaching English, she was supported emotionally, building her confidence and helping her feel secure in her learning. Strongly recommended!”

★★★★★

“My daughter started tuition just a few months ago at Epic Smart. Within a couple of months I have seen good discipline in her, and she just received her final exam results with tremendous progress. I am definitely very happy. Epic is very committed. Finally, I’ve found a good centre.”

English Questions

What parents ask us about English

Which English syllabi do you teach?
Phonics and early reading from age 3, KSSR and UASA English for national school, Cambridge Primary and Lower Secondary English with Checkpoint preparation for international school, Form 1 to 3, SPM English, and Cambridge IGCSE English First Language and Second Language.
My child reads fine but hates writing. Can you help?
Yes, and it is the most common reason parents come to us for English. Writing is taught as a method: plan, draft, correct. Every piece of writing is marked and discussed, so your child learns what to change, not just that it was wrong.
My child is moving from a Chinese-medium or national school to an international school. Is that something you do?
Yes. Structured English for that transition is one of the things we are known for. A parent’s own words are on this page: in 11 months her daughter went from a Chinese school English class to a smooth start at an international school.
Do you teach IGCSE English First Language?
Yes, both Cambridge IGCSE English First Language and Second Language, taught by a specialist who works on reading, writing and coursework craft rather than memorised model answers.
How big are the English classes?
Six to eight students. Small enough that every child reads aloud and speaks, and the teacher hears exactly where the gaps are. One-to-one is available.
How much does English tuition cost?
It depends on the year group and whether you add other subjects. Message us on WhatsApp with your child's year and school and you will have the fees and the timetable the same day.
Can my child join mid-term?
Yes. We will place them by what they can actually read and write rather than by the date. The trial class tells us where to start.
Where are you and when are you open?
94, Jalan Terasek 2, Bangsar, 59100 Kuala Lumpur. Monday to Friday 10am to 10pm, Saturday 10am to 6pm. Closed Sunday.
