About EMS Language Centre
EMS — English Made Simple — is one of Kuala Lumpur's most academically respected English language centres, and one of the few in Malaysia to hold both a 5-star Ministry of Education rating and a KDN licence to enrol international students from all nationalities.
English Made Simple is in a very central location of Kuala Lumpur. It is within a few minutes' walk of KLCC, the Petronas Twin Towers and the Malaysia Tourism Centre (MATIC). There are numerous cafés and restaurants serving a range of local and international food within the vicinity. You can easily get to class by bus or the LRT as the area is well served by a network of public transportation. EMS is located within walking distance of the KLCC LRT Station.
EMS is a government-registered language centre approved by the Malaysian Ministry of Education (MOE), registered under the Education Act 1996. It is located in the heart of the capital city, within walking distance of the iconic Petronas Twin Towers. A popular choice with students from many countries particularly those from the South-East Asian, Central Asian, Middle-Eastern and North African regions.
EMS Language Center is recognised as one of the strongest language teaching centres accredited by the Malaysian Ministry of Education. The centre offers a variety of courses in Intensive General English (IGE) to meet the diverse learning objectives of students from various ages and nationalities worldwide. Many international students from the Middle East, Asia, and Africa choose to study at the centre to master English with proficiency.
What Makes EMS Different
EMS stands apart from other KLCC-area language schools in several measurable ways:
1. Maximum 10 Students Per Class
EMS prides itself in offering students small, personalised classes, no matter what levels they are studying at. Their classes never exceed more than 10 students per class. This enables instructors to give each student individual attention and encourage full participation in class from everyone.
2. 60-Minute Lessons
Lessons are for 60 minutes, much longer than in most schools. The standard lesson duration at most KL language schools is 45 minutes. EMS's 60-minute lessons give teachers more time to cover material thoroughly and give students more practice time per session.
3. No Dominant Nationality
Excellent nationality mix — no student nationality makes up more than 10% of students. This policy ensures that no single language or cultural group dominates the classroom — meaning English is genuinely the shared language of communication among students throughout the school day.
4. 5-Star Ministry of Education Rating
The 5-star MOE rating is the highest quality certification available to private language centres in Malaysia — and EMS holds it.
5. IELTS Score Guarantee
EMS Language Centre guarantees students will achieve IELTS 6.0 — a specific academic commitment rarely made by language schools.
