About The Founder
Yasmin Kamil was born in West Virginia, USA and grew up in an English-speaking environment. She speaks both English and Malay fluently. She is the founder of Brican English and Yasmin Lingo.
Yasmin is a certified English teacher and trainer. She is a holder of CELTA; a gold standard of English teaching qualification in the world, issued by Cambridge University, United Kingdom.
She is also a qualified lawyer; an advocate and solicitor. Before embarking on a full – time English teaching journey, she has the experience of serving as a Legal Advisor and an Agreement Drafter in the Oil & Gas corporate world.
Since she has real-life experience of being in the corporate world itself, this makes her understand the actual English needs and issues faced by the average working adult even more so than traditional English teachers who have never worked outside the school or university environment.
Thus, her approach and solutions to the English issues faced by working adults in the working or corporate world comes from her real-life experience and not from theoretical textbooks that may or may not reflect the actual needs of English in the working adult world.
Moreover, since she knows both native English and native Malay well; she understands the needs and issues faced by the average Malay person even more so than native English teachers who do not speak Malay nor are aware of problems faced specifically by Malays when it comes to English matters.
Due to positive feedbacks on her ability to make people acquire English easily and effortlessly, Yasmin decided to rest from her legal practice and focus instead on helping working adults in their everyday English language needs.
