Description

Welcome to my English course for upper-intermediate students. This course is the 'sequel' to Master English Conversation Intermediate Level. On this course, you will learn both the grammar and vocabulary that is necessary to progress to an advanced level. As a British teacher with more than 20 years' experience, I enjoy using a variety of methods to teach English. A whiteboard is used to teach the grammar and vocabulary, and after every lecture, the student's knowledge is tested with a quiz. Lots of pictures have been included to teach new vocabulary, and lots of typical mistakes are analysed so that the student knows which pitfalls to avoid.The course includes the following:Downloadable lectures on the most important grammar topics. (tenses, quantifiers, reporting verbs, phrasal verbs, auxiliary verbs, linking words, modal verbs, conditionals, gerunds, infinitives, comparatives, superlatives, articles, and passive)A large number of frequently-used collocations that will enhance your vocabularyI don't speak incredibly slowly, as though you were a beginner. I understand that you need faster speech so that you can make your way to an advanced level. Please preview one of my classes, and you will understand whether this course is too basic or too advanced. I have easier courses (intermediate, pre-intermediate and beginner) AND more difficult courses (advanced grammar, advanced vocab, phrasal verbs) should you need themRepetition of the vocabulary in different lessons and quizzes so that the new words and phrases are easier to memorize. I also repeat vocabulary that appeared in my pre-intermediate and intermediate courses. Quizzes after each and every lecture, and many of them include images, as I believe that pictures help you memorize both the grammar and the vocabularyAsk questions on the Q and A section if you need clarification, and I respond within 24 hoursLearn how to avoid the most common mistakes that crop up regularly in my live classesLifetime membership
