Hello, ambitious English speaker!
You don’t need me to tell you that your English is already good. You’re here on this page for a reason. So let’s talk about what you’re aiming for:
A level of English where nothing feels out of reach.
Jokes that land. Stories that hit. Opinions delivered with the precision and flair they deserve.
The ability to express your personality and intelligence without losing anything in translation.
A sense of complete freedom in the language: you’re no longer following the rules, you’re playing with them.
This is what happens at the C1 and C2 levels.
And it’s something very few learners ever achieve.
For the first time ever, I'm releasing my two most advanced programmes together at the best price I've ever offered.
Here’s what’s on offer:
- The C1+C2 Bundle: enrol on both programmes together and save 40%. That's 24 weeks of advanced-level learning, taking you from where you are now at upper-intermediate (B2+) to complete proficiency (C2) in just 6 months.
- Or enrol on C1 or C2 individually: if you'd rather focus on one level right now, that's perfect. Whatever feels right for you.
Very few learners ever reach C2. Most plateau at B2 or somewhere in the lower reaches of C1, and they stay there for years – sometimes decades – because they don’t know how to break through.
You can be one of the few to reach the exclusive level of complete English proficiency.
So if you’ve been waiting for the right time to finish what you started… this is it.
The 3 Stages of Your Transformation
1. CHOOSE THE RIGHT OPTION FOR YOU
Enrol on the C1+C2 Bundle for the complete advanced journey, or choose C1 or C2 individually.
Get access to up to 24 modules in total, plus lesson PDFs, interactive exercises, vocabulary banks and a supportive community of high-achieving learners!
2. START RIGHT NOW
No waiting required! The moment you enrol, you can begin. Work through the lessons at your own pace with lifetime access. This journey is designed to fit around your life, not disrupt it.
You can also delay your start if you’re not quite ready to begin. All of that will be explained in your welcome email.
3. COMPLETE YOUR TRANSFORMATION
In just 6 months, you can take your upper-intermediate English (B2+) all the way to proficiency (C2), the level where English becomes as natural as your first language.
Most learners stop at upper-intermediate, but you’re not here for ‘good enough’. You’re here for mastery.
Why take the final step to mastery with me?
My name is Lucy Bella Simkins, and I am your British English teacher!
I am passionate about teaching correct English with beautiful British pronunciation (Modern RP).
Over 15,000,000 students enjoy my YouTube, Instagram and email lessons every month, and over 50,000 of you have benefitted from my comprehensive online programmes.
Over the past few years, I’ve built four Beautiful British English Programmes to take students all the way from being able to communicate in English (B1), to using the language with complete freedom and precision (C2).
C1 and C2 are the final two steps of that journey, and for the first time ever, I’m offering them together.
This is where fluency becomes freedom.
Where ‘good English’ becomes effortless English. Where the language stops being something you think about and starts being something you simply use.
Reaching the higher levels of English is a real challenge. Most learners never get there. But if you follow the path I show you next, you’ll see it’s entirely possible.
And it can be bloody good fun.

The Beautiful British English C1 and C2 Programmes!
My Beautiful British English Programmes are 12-week courses designed to take your English to the highest levels defined by the CEFR.
Together, they form a complete advanced journey. In C1, you’ll master the nuances that separate ‘good’ English from ‘excellent’ English. In C2, you’ll learn to use the language with the creativity, precision and instinct of a lifelong English speaker.
When you successfully complete the C1 Programme:
- You will feel confident having deep conversations about complex topics.
- You will be able to understand jokes, nuances and hidden meanings.
- You will be able to fully express your true personality and intelligence.
- You will feel totally capable of working in an English-speaking environment.

In C2, we go further. You’ll learn to bend and break grammar rules intentionally, to evoke emotion and convey your message with the creativity of a lifelong English speaker. This is where fluency becomes freedom.
By joining these skills — grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, writing and spoken English — you will be prepared for complete mastery.
These programmes are unlike any other.

Why over 50,000 students love to learn with me
In the C1 and C2 Programmes, three core principles help you break through to the highest levels of English:
Pronunciation as a priority
Pronunciation is woven throughout both programmes, with clear pointers in every lesson to help you sound effortless and natural.
- In C1, we focus on the nuances, like the small shifts in stress, intonation and sound connection that separate correct English from effortless English. This is where most learners plateau.
- In C2, we go further: advanced techniques like using sound to affect the listener, giving your English that smooth, native-like feel.
If you’re worried you’ve picked up bad pronunciation habits over the years, we’ll fix that here. Identifying and correcting these patterns is one of the fastest ways to transform how you sound.
Story-based lessons
Most learners struggle with high-level words and grammar, not because they can’t memorise them, but because they don’t know how to use them.
That’s why both C1 and C2 teach everything in context. You don’t have to guess how complex language works in everyday interactions; you see it in action, lesson after lesson.
Every lesson is like a new chapter of a book, following one character’s journey through struggles, realisations and discoveries and you’ll be learning advanced language structures along the way.
Not only is this a more effective way to learn, but it’s also a lot of fun. My students tell me they come back to study even after long, exhausting days because the lessons keep them hooked.Â
Real conversations
This is one of my favourite parts of all of my programmes.
You’ll listen to real, natural-speed conversations with interesting people in my life — not scripted dialogues, but authentic British English as it’s genuinely spoken. Using our conversation analysis technique, we break down the dialogue so you understand 100% of the words and their implied meaning.
- At C1, this is where you finally catch the jokes and read between the lines.
- At C2, it's where you learn how high-level language actually works in practice: the idiomatic expressions, register shifts and cultural references that textbooks never teach.
These lessons will build your confidence, sharpen your listening and elevate your conversations to a level you didn’t think was possible.

Also want feedback on your writing and speaking?
We’ve created a premium package for those who want personal feedback on their writing, speaking and pronunciation.Â
With this package, you’ll get –
- Exclusive pronunciation and writing homework tasks that you will submit to my highly qualified teachers.
- Personalised feedback on your writing with specific areas of improvement.
- Audio feedback with detailed speaking and pronunciation advice to take your English pronunciation to new heights.
This is a great way to make sure you are on the right track.

At the advanced levels, personalised feedback becomes even more valuable. The difference between ‘fluent’ and ‘effortless’ lies in the details that only a trained teacher can spot.

If you feel shy, you can always swap your speaking task for a writing assignment.

See how you feel!
We’re here to support you.

Frequently asked questions
- 30-day money-back guarantee · Lifetime access
What level of English do I need for each programme bundle?
For the C1 Programme, you need to have a B2 level of English: upper-intermediate. In 3 months, the course will train you to master the C1 level. As a rule, if you can understand most of what I say in my videos without subtitles, you are ready for the C1 Programme.
For the C2 Programme, you need to have a C1 level of English: advanced. In 3 months, the course will train you towards complete mastery. If you feel fairly fluent but sometimes lack precision, and you struggle to express or interpret shades of meaning spontaneously, you are ready for the C2 Programme.
For the full C1+C2 Bundle, we recommend starting at a B2 level so that you can take on the C1 Programme first, and then progress naturally into C2.
When do the programmes start and finish?
When you enrol, you will receive an email asking you how you would like to proceed. You can choose to start your first programme immediately, or you can choose to postpone your start date. You must start your first course by the 15th of November 2026. You must start the rest of your bundle within 365 days. After this deadline, you will still have lifetime access to course materials, but community and feedback access will expire.
Can I study at my own pace?
Yes! You have lifetime access to the course content. You get to keep the course materials forever. Each course community runs for 16 weeks (4 months), so you have an extra 4 weeks after the final module is released. If you need extra time, just let us know via email and we will try to accommodate you.
Do the programmes include live classes?
There are no live classes. You don’t have to wait for the teacher to get to the point, and you certainly don’t have to wait for an annoying classmate to stop demanding the teacher’s attention. You can take the lessons at your own pace (you will never lose access to them). You have 16 weeks of access to each course community, where you can contact teachers to ask questions and clarify doubts.
When my programme ends, can I still see the lessons?
Yes. You have lifetime access to the course content. You keep all course materials forever.
How does the VIP feedback work?
You have the option to join the VIP Feedback Pack version of each programme. With this premium pack, you have formal weekly homework tasks and access to a VIP space in the community for personal teacher feedback. You have both speaking and writing homework. You will get written corrections on all your homework assignments. If you submit recordings for the speaking homework, you will receive audio feedback on your pronunciation, too. (You can choose to switch to only writing, but pronunciation feedback is extremely valuable.)
If you don’t want to post publicly, you can submit your homework via email. You have 16 weeks of access to each course community. We can look at extending your access upon request.
Will a teacher answer my questions and doubts without the VIP pack?
Yes! In the course community, you can ask questions and clarify doubts, but the teachers will not offer corrections or feedback.
Is there a final exam for each programme?
Yes, there is a final exam for each programme. These exams are optional and can be repeated as many times as you need.
Will I get a certificate?
Yes, you will receive a certificate of completion for each programme upon completing all course lessons. You can use the certificate to prove your attendance at each level of the course. You can also share your final exam result email after the completion of your final exams. This shows your result and your grade. My students love to share their results and certificates on LinkedIn and on their CVs/résumés.
How much time do I need to dedicate per day/week?
In order to truly benefit from these programmes, you should dedicate an absolute minimum of 2 study sessions per week. You can study a little every day if that suits you best. Our most successful students dedicate at least 4 hours per week.
What is the minimum age for these programmes?
You must be over the age of 16 to join any of our courses. If we find out that a student is under 16, we are legally obliged to remove them. This is for child protection reasons.
Can I really reach the C1 or C2 level in only 3 months?
These programmes are not exam preparation courses, so we cannot say that you will ‘reach’ C1 or C2 level by the end. Instead, they’re designed to put you on the path to achieving this level of fluency in your everyday life.
If you follow all the lessons and complete all the exercises, you will notice significant improvements in your spoken and written fluency. But we still recommend you keep practising your new knowledge even after the course to truly consolidate it.
Will these programmes help me prepare for the C1 or C2 proficiency exam?
The Beautiful British English C1 and C2 Programmes are not exam preparation courses. They are general English courses designed to help you express yourself at an advanced level in everyday life. Although the skills we cover will help push you to the level you need to pass an official exam, we do not teach exam techniques or offer exam practice.
What's the difference between C1 and C2?
The C1 level focuses on mastering the nuances of English. These are the small-but-impactful grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation tweaks that make you sound undeniably natural. You’ll be able to hold deep conversations, understand jokes and hidden meanings, and feel completely capable in an English-speaking environment.
The C2 level is less about learning new grammar rules and more about consolidating what you know and learning how to break the rules in a natural way. By the time you finish C2, English will feel as natural as your first language. You’ll be able to switch between topics effortlessly, shift registers intuitively and express yourself with complete creativity and precision.
Can I upgrade to the bundle later if I start with a single programme?
Please email us at help@englishwithlucy.com and we’ll help you upgrade within the current promotion period.
What's the difference between buying C1 and C2 separately vs. the bundle?
The C1+C2 Bundle gives you both programmes at a combined discount, saving you up to $400 compared to buying each programme separately during this promotion. You also get 32 weeks of Private Course Community access, which covers the full 6-month journey across both levels.
How much does each programme cost?
Please click here to select your bundle, feedback plan and payment plan. We will then calculate your price. We understand that this can be confusing, so please email us at help@englishwithlucy.com if you require any assistance in making a decision. We are happy to answer all of your questions!
