Workplace English

Business English for Malaysian professionals who want to be heard.

A twelve-week sprint built for working adults. One-to-one mentoring with a senior business tutor, paired with a small-group practice circle on Tuesday and Thursday evenings.

The shape

The opposite of a corporate webinar.

This programme runs as a sprint: twelve weeks, a clear goal, a small cohort of professionals who all want to sound calmer and clearer at work. You join with your own goal — pitching to a client, leading standups in English, writing an executive summary — and the mentor team builds the syllabus around the seven or eight people in your cohort.

It blends two formats. Once a week you have a 50-minute one-to-one session with a senior business mentor. On Tuesday and Thursday evenings the whole cohort meets for a 45-minute live practice circle around a current business case — recent earnings, a Malaysian merger, a tricky team-dynamics moment.

The trial mentor will tell you honestly whether the sprint is a fit for you, or whether Prime One-to-One would serve you better.

What we cover

Twelve weeks, six modules, your real material.

We don't bring fictional Acme Corp case studies. You bring the deck you're preparing, the e-mail you've been avoiding, the role you applied for — and we use those as the teaching material.

01

Meeting English

Opening a meeting, holding the floor, redirecting, interrupting politely and closing without an awkward silence.

02

Written communication

Subject lines, executive summaries, structured paragraphs and the difference between a polite email and a forgettable one.

03

Presentations

Story shape, signpost language, pacing, and the small phrases that buy you thinking time on stage.

04

Negotiation

Soft pushback, conditional language, summarising the other side, and pausing without losing authority.

05

Interview English

Structured answers, STAR stories, behavioural questions and the kind of follow-up the interviewer wants to ask.

06

Cross-cultural notes

Reading the room with British, North American and Australian colleagues — written and spoken signals you might miss.

Investment

Sprint stories

A few cohorts who joined recently.

★★★★★
"By week six I noticed I'd stopped rehearsing every email in my head. Marcus drilled us on subject lines for an evening and somehow it just clicked."
HZ Hafiz Z. Account lead, KL
★★★★★
"I joined the sprint after avoiding all 'speaking up' moments for two years. The Tuesday circle was the first place I'd been corrected kindly. I miss it."
CS Cheryl S. Compliance officer, Johor Bahru
★★★★★
"We sponsored a private cohort for six engineers — they came back with cleaner standups and somehow nicer code review comments. Worth every ringgit."
RM Ravi M. CTO, fintech, Cyberjaya
