Success Stories from Our Franchisees

Catharine Sandanasmy

I encourage anyone to consider a CEFL centre—it is truly the ‘Queen’ of English centres, naturally attracting customers. Success comes with planning, learning from others, and embracing new ideas. There will be ups and downs, but with perseverance and CEFL’s support, growth is possible if we stay grounded and never give up

Sharon Chua

Since 2012, CEFL Anggun City, Rawang, has grown from 27 students to nearly 470, becoming the community’s trusted name for English. Recognised with awards like Centre of the Year (Emerald) and Best Performing Centre, our success reflects not just business growth but also our commitment to quality education and making a lasting impact in Rawang

Candy Chan

The most rewarding part of my job is seeing students gain confidence and excel, even in challenging exams like C1 Advanced and C2 Proficiency. Beyond grades, the heartfelt reviews from parents and students inspire me. Knowing we’ve made a lasting impact reminds me that CEFL is about more than teaching—it’s about building brighter futures

Centre Director, CEFL Kota Kemuning

Lawrence Tham

When I started, I had no experience in running a language centre, but HQ’s step-by-step guidance made all the difference. From training to continuous support, they equipped us to succeed. During COVID-19, CEFL quickly transitioned online with e-materials and even provided opportunities to join Cambridge conferences—an invaluable experience that strengthened our growth.
