About The Founder
Yasmin Kamil is the founder of Brican English (formerly known as Yasmin Lingo). Born in West Virginia, USA, and raised in an English-speaking environment, she comes from a family deeply rooted in multinational corporate industries where English was widely spoken across generations. She speaks both English and Malay fluently.
Whilst her command of English was acquired naturally through upbringing and environment rather than through traditional academic English pathways, she later pursued the CELTA qualification from Cambridge University, United Kingdom, one of the most recognised English teaching qualifications in the world, to further strengthen and formalise her professional English training methodology.
Prior to obtaining her CELTA qualification, Yasmin earned two law degrees — Bachelor of Laws (Hons) [LLB (Hons)] and Bachelor of Legal Studies (Hons) [BLS (Hons)] — and was subsequently called to the Bar as an Advocate and Solicitor of the High Court of Malaya. She previously worked as a corporate executive and legal advisor in the Oil and Gas industry at the Petronas Twin Towers, where her responsibilities included drafting and executing agreements, corporate deal negotiations, and legal advisory work.
Having worked in the corporate world herself and having been raised in a family deeply rooted in multinational corporate industries, Yasmin developed firsthand familiarity with the communication culture, expectations, and professional realities of the corporate sector from an early age.
Combined with her deep understanding of both English and Malay, she has successfully helped working adults overcome their English communication barriers and thrive in real workplace and corporate environments since 2016. At a time when the Malaysian English-learning scene was still heavily centred around traditional grammar-based learning, Yasmin pioneered a more practical and workplace-oriented approach that focused strictly on working adults, real-life communication, and exposure to different English accents for professional purposes.
Her methods and training approach are therefore shaped by her upbringing in an English-speaking environment, real corporate working experience, and practical workplace exposure rather than solely by traditional academic English teaching frameworks.
Encouraged by the strong positive feedback she received for making English easier to understand and apply in professional environments, Yasmin eventually decided to step away from legal and corporate practice to fully dedicate herself to helping working adults improve their English for workplace communication, confidence, and professional growth.
