General English
A structured language programme for B2 and C1 learners who want stronger accuracy, wider range and more confident communication.
Develop from your current B2 or C1 starting point through a level-specific programme with integrated skills, systematic revision and teacher feedback.
Precision and range
Vocabulary, grammar and register developed beyond everyday topics.
Confident communication
Speaking practice with clear aims, correction and follow-up.
Integrated skills
Reading and listening feed discussion, vocabulary and writing.
Systematic feedback
Progress checks and revision keep development visible.
Is this course right for you?
The course is built for learners who need systematic development rather than a casual conversation course.
This course is for you if you want to
- strengthen grammar and vocabulary;
- communicate confidently beyond everyday topics;
- develop greater accuracy and flexibility;
- prepare for more demanding C1-level study.
By the end of the programme, you will work towards being able to
- speak more naturally and confidently;
- express and support complex ideas;
- understand longer and more demanding input;
- use vocabulary and grammar with greater precision.
What you will develop
Each area is developed through course input, practice, recycling and teacher feedback.
Vocabulary and phraseology
Collocations, phrasal verbs, idiomatic language, register and precise word choice.
Grammar and accuracy
Complex structures developed through meaningful spoken and written use.
Speaking and interaction
Purposeful speaking tasks, discussion, repair strategies and teacher correction.
Integrated skills
Reading and listening provide input for discussion, vocabulary work and writing.
What every unit includes
Each unit combines vocabulary, grammar, integrated skills, speaking, writing and systematic revision. These are programme components, not separate one-off modules.

Karina’s General English course is the best group course I have taken, largely thanks to her ability to explain clearly, make students feel comfortable with mistakes, and engage everyone in discussion. The lessons were friendly but intensive, with substantial homework and excellent speaking materials for additional practice.
