About SpeakUP

Built for Sri Lanka.
Built for everyone.

SpeakUP is Sri Lanka's first AI-powered English learning platform — combining advanced AI technology with live certified coaching to deliver real, measurable English improvement to learners of every age and background.

We saw a clear gap. Sri Lankan learners had two choices — expensive face-to-face classes or passive online courses with no accountability. Neither worked well enough. SpeakUP is the third option — structured, coached, certified, and 100% online.

Powered by DynEd NEO and backed by Headway Group's 15+ years in Sri Lanka education, SpeakUP offers four programmes covering every stage of life — from children aged 5 to working professionals. Every learner starts with a placement test, learns at their own pace, and earns an internationally verified CEFR certificate at the end of every level.

Our Team

The people behind
every session.

At SpeakUP, our team is built around one goal — giving every student the personal attention they need to actually improve. We don't believe in large classrooms or passive learning. Every session, every week, is designed to make you speak better.

👨‍🏫
SpeakUP Coaches
Certified English coaches who run the live weekly sessions. Before every session, coaches review each student's AI data — so they already know exactly what to focus on. Maximum 15 students per group — every student speaks, every session.
