Congratulations!
Why?
Because your English is good; otherwise, you wouldn’t be here, right?
But in your eyes, it’s not good enough.
You want more.
You want to reach your full potential in English.
You want to master English so that you can feel relaxed and confident in both your professional and personal life.
But, while it’s easy to make progress in English at the early stages, going from ‘good’ to ‘excellent’ English can be really hard.
This is something that many learners have discovered on their own or with traditional learning methods.
But you can!
If you’re ready for a challenge, at least…
Does any of this sound painfully familiar to you?
- Your grammar and vocabulary are good, but you know that your wording doesn’t always sound natural.
- You can follow conversations in English, but you miss out on jokes, nuance and hidden meanings.
- You can speak well, but you still don’t feel 100% relaxed and confident when you talk with English-speaking friends or co-workers.
- English still requires a lot of your energy and leaves you feeling drained.
- You feel that your current English level prevents you from showing your true personality and intelligence, and that doesn’t feel good!
If you said yes to any one of these, then you’re in the right place!
This programme taught me so much new about British culture and added new words to my vocabulary. It is a very well planned course where you can improve your grammar, pronunciation, listening and reading. One of the best parts is teachers feedback! Definitely recommend this course.

Why learn C1 with me?
Hello!
My name is Lucy Bella Simkins and I am your British English teacher!
I am passionate about teaching real, correct English with beautiful British pronunciation.
Over 15 million students enjoy my YouTube, Instagram and email lessons every month, and tens of thousands have benefitted from my in-depth online programmes.
I train my students to sound natural, confident, and fluent. Pronunciation and nuance are priorities in my courses - we start with a profound focus on these two often-neglected topics from day 1!
Because I know what it takes to smash through that intermediate plateau and reach native-level fluency
in another language.
It’s a real challenge.
But if you focus on the points that I’ll show you next, you’ll see that reaching a C1 level is possible.
And it can be bloody good fun!
Impossible to speak like a native?
It’s true that when you learn English as an adult, it’s nearly impossible to really come across as a native speaker.
For some students, sounding like a native speaker is totally irrelevant — they just want to speak clearly and be understood!
Other students simply adore British English and want to get as close to native-sounding as possible.
We cater to both goals in this programme.
There’s one big secret that most learners don’t know and most teachers don’t focus on…
Besides mastering pronunciation (that one is obvious — pronunciation is a huge focus in this programme), there’s another trick, and it’s a big feature in this programme. It goes beyond standard grammar and vocabulary lessons.
Let me introduce to you...

We will tweak your already-good English skills so that you can move towards perfection and native-like fluency.
By joining these 5 skills; grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, writing and spoken English, you will be prepared for fluency!
This programme is unlike any other.
How?
Let me show you!
NAIL THE NUANCES
Let me explain.
Have you ever been in a group situation where someone says something that is seemingly meaningless…
And everyone laughs apart from you?
Often it’s due to a very subtle but impactful concept:
NUANCE.
Nuances are the subtle differences in meaning between words, phrases, grammatical structures and ideas. These shades of meaning might seem small, but they can greatly affect how we understand what is being said.
Once you master these, you can express yourself in exactly the way you want and sound completely natural whilst doing it.
So… how do you nail the nuances?
So… how do you nail the nuances?
This is exactly what we teach you in this programme!
We focus on the small-but-impactful grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation tweaks that will make you sound undeniably natural in English.
British humour relies heavily on nuance. Understanding humour is an incredibly useful social opportunity. It’s how people connect and build bridges. You might be missing social cues for connection! In this programme, we have an entire module on British humour and a focus on how nuance affects language interpretation throughout!
Pronunciation as a Priority!
Pronunciation is integrated throughout the programme so that you eliminate bad habits and form good habits from day 1.
Many students receive bad pronunciation education in their formative years of learning English. This leaves them with bad habits that are difficult to unlearn.
In my classes, we break bad habits and focus on correct pronunciation.
- We focus on individual sounds.
- We look at how the sounds join together.
It’s a simple concept, but it’s often neglected in the classroom.
In my classroom, it is always a focus.
This way, you can speak clearly and be understood by native speakers.
I can even guide you to speak like a native (if that is truly your goal!)
Either way, you will be able to fit in and live life speaking
and sounding the way you want!.
This programme focuses a lot on pronunciation and natural spoken English, two things that can help you to improve your fluency and confidence.

I just wanted to congratulate you on creating the course and wanted to let you know I absolutely love it already, especially your conversation with your husband, Will. It feels so honest, humble and pure, and it's so encouraging! Thanks for sharing this personal experience with us! And the rest is fantastic, too! I can honestly say, I haven't expected this load of valuable content, so I feel privileged to take part in this programme! Well done everyone!

Here’s what people say about my courses…

I find very few teachers explain the concepts of English in an engaging way as Lucy does. I also believe Lucy's courses are the only ones that include lots of audio clips and visuals, they've really helped improve my memory.
My favourite part of the programme is the conversation lessons. No amount of TV dramas can demonstrate well enough how native speakers speak in real life because they're all scripted. On the other hand, Lucy and her guests explore various practical topics in an entertaining and informative way.
I took both your courses, B1 and B2, and I'm jumping for joy because I got back into action with English language. Better late than never. My final exam is just around the corner. At first it was all Greek to me but after a few weeks all felt into place. Step by step I rose the bar and I took the bull by the horns and I hope that I will pass the exam with flying colors. I enjoy listening to all conversations in this program and new vocabulary. Your teachers are great and very helpful. It will brighten my day when I start C1 course. Finding your YouTube channel was a blessing in disguise. Thank you!

It's incredibly fun and unbelievably comprehensive. I was unsatisfied with my school course so I chose this one instead and I couldn't have made a better decision. The course allows you to expand your vocabulary, perfect your grammar and overall just make a huge progress. All of that with guidance of Lucy and her lovely team.
+ Thanks to its interactivity I find it really ADHD-friendly. Highly recommended! 😊
