-
I don't have much free time. Does it require a lot of work?
The longest video lessons only require 20 minutes to watch, and they are designed so that you get all the information you need without having to study for hours! The other lessons in each module help you to memorise what you have learned and only take 10 minutes each to complete. However, there are no time restrictions - you can fit the course around your schedule and take as long as you want to progress through each section.
-
I already have a C1 level of English. Is this course for me?
Even if you already have a high level of English, the way phrasal verbs are used by native speakers can be very complicated to learn without plenty of examples and a competent teacher to explain each one clearly. If you found the free lesson at the top of this page useful, you'll get a lot from this course.
-
Why is this better than face-to-face lessons?
Lessons one-on-one with a teacher are incredibly useful; however, they cannot replace seeing hundreds of examples of real language being used in real situations by native speakers. This, combined with the ability to rewatch each video again and again, makes our course an incredibly powerful learning tool.
-
I find English listening difficult. Will I understand everything?
This course is a great way to improve your listening skills because it contains so many real examples of native speakers with different accents talking naturally. Each clip is repeated, slowed down and explained so that you really understand everything you hear. And if you need to hear the information even slower, you can reduce the speed of each video to make it even easier for you.

Is there a money-back guarantee?
If you finish the course and are not completely satisfied, send me an email and I will be happy to refund your money back to you.
