English With Lucy Has Been Featured In:
English should be accelerating your career. But instead, it’s slowing you down.
On paper, you’re perfect for that promotion or international role.
But progress is about more than just being good at your job, isn’t it?
Nowadays, you also need great English.
Maybe you’re comfortable with day-to-day conversations and tasks. But it’s different when you have to give presentations, keep up in meetings and share your professional opinion.
It may feel like English is limiting what you can achieve, and that’s frustrating—especially when you know how much you’ve got to offer the world.
You know English can be a gateway to…
Working for an international
company
Being selected by recruiters
Earning the salary you deserve
Applying for your dream position
Securing that big promotion
Relocating to a new country
Managing big projects
Securing deals with international clients
Growing your network and making a name for yourself
Expanding your business into new markets
… but right now, your English may be causing you more stress than your job.
Does any of this sound familiar?
- You can express yourself fairly comfortably outside of the office. But at work? It’s like the words disappear as soon as you open your mouth—especially when you’re in a large group.
- You struggle to keep up with what your colleagues are talking about. Often, by the time you’ve formed your response, the discussion has moved on.
- You’re not familiar with professional English vocabulary, so you worry you sound unprofessional when you speak.
- You spend so much time worrying about your English that it’s distracting you from your job—you know, what you were employed to do!
And on top of all that, you’re not sure how to improve.
Can I tell you something?
I know exactly how you feel.
You see, before I became an English teacher, I worked at a marketing agency in Spain.
Back then, my day-to-day Spanish was good. But my professional Spanish?
Let’s just say it wasn’t quite good enough.
While I felt at home in Spain, I felt like an outsider at work. It was as if I couldn’t truly earn the respect or friendship of my colleagues.
That was when I realised something crucial: I had to start learning business Spanish. And fast.
I knew that traditional classroom-based learning would take too long. So, instead, I immersed myself in the language I was seeing, hearing and searching for every day.
But let me tell you, things quickly began to change.
Soon enough, I could keep up with my colleagues’ conversations, I started telling jokes and I finally felt like I deserved to be there.
And now? I’m helping YOU achieve the same feeling in my brand new programme.
But I’ll tell you more about that in a minute.
First, I should probably introduce myself…
Hello!
My name is Lucy Bella Simkins, and I am your professional English teacher.
11 million YouTube subscribers
1 million Instagram followers
2 million TikTok followers
10 years of teaching experience
35,000+ course students
You may know me as someone who typically teaches general English. And it’s true—I do!
But did you know that my team and I have also trained hundreds of professionals in business English?
From accountants to engineers to astrologers, we’ve worked with people from all kinds of industries. And surprisingly, they all faced the same challenge:
Though their conversational English was good, they struggled to communicate in the workplace.
As our in-depth online programmes have helped over 30,000 people improve their English, we decided it was time to create a course specifically for professionals like you.
And that’s what this programme is—a road map that fits around your schedule and teaches you the essentials of business English…
… so you can worry less about the language and concentrate on building your career.
NOW, HERE’S THE GOOD NEWS:
It doesn’t take years to feel confident using business English.
Phew!
As an intermediate learner, you have already built strong foundations in English. Now you can make a huge amount of progress in a short period of time (3 months, to be precise!).
You just need to focus on 3 main things:
Relevant topics
Most business English courses are taught by people with no corporate experience. This means you can only learn what the coursebook says. Trust me—you’ll improve much faster when you work with teachers who know the language and business.
Authentic accents
English is used by professionals all over the world. So, you should expose yourself to as many accents as possible. This will better prepare you to use the language in real life. No need to panic when you meet someone new!
Specific grammar
Good news! You don't have to follow really complicated grammar explanations to become proficient in business English. In fact, when you follow content suited to your level, you'll only learn the structures you really need to communicate effectively.
Some people spend years trying to learn professional English. But you don’t have to!
I’ve compiled everything you need to be able to do your job without worrying about your English. And the best part? It only takes 12 weeks…
I PRESENT TO YOU…

PABLO | ECUADOR
“I really liked every one of Lucy's English classes.”
“I moved from Ecuador, and all of a sudden I was working in an English-speaking place that I didn't fully understand. Time was important. One of my main goals was to improve my English quickly. Lucy's challenge helped me make a custom course that I could do at work during lunch or any other free time I could find in my busy days. Overall, from both a professional and a personal standpoint, I strongly recommend Lucy's English to any student who wants personalized help and one-on-one attention.”

This isn’t another course you’ll start but never finish!
Absolutely not! I’ve designed the Professional English Programme using my 3-step success framework that’s loved by over 30,000 students. Here’s how it works.
STEP 1: STORY-BASED LESSONS
Stay motivated throughout the course with story-based lessons
Each module follows my storytelling approach, which is proven to keep you engaged throughout the course.
You’ll meet 3 characters from 3 professions who have different accents and face different challenges at work.
Each lesson is another chapter in their story, teaching you reading, writing, listening and speaking skills in an enjoyable way.
But fun isn’t the only benefit of this approach. Oh, no! It also helps you remember the language more easily.
Why? Because stories show you how to use the language in context instead of forcing you to memorise verb tables and vocabulary lists.
STEP 2: AUTHENTIC CONVERSATIONS
Immerse yourself in authentic conversations and gain insights into the global workplace
Real life has no coursebook. That’s why you should learn from people who understand the corporate world and the speed at which it changes.
My team of teachers and I have used our knowledge of the modern workplace to teach you relevant language through topics you will actually need.
We’ve also invited professionals from various fields to talk about their work. Using our conversation analysis technique, we break down these pre-recorded discussions to teach you key vocabulary and expressions.
This not only helps you improve the natural flow of your English, but it also provides insights into working in an international environment. What better way to prepare!?
STEP 3: IMPROVE PRONUNCIATION
Improve your pronunciation as you work through the course
Your pronunciation can make the difference between having your question answered with words… or a blank stare.
That’s why every single module includes our popular pronunciation lessons.
As you progress through the course, you’ll learn to pronounce sounds clearly so you can communicate easily on global teams.
You’ll also get to hear different accents and pronunciations. That way, you can be sure that you’ll understand and be understood by your colleagues.
At this level, you’ll also learn more advanced pronunciation techniques (like connected speech) that make your speech sound more natural. This is a big confidence booster!

“Added value to the course is definitely the VIP student group.”
"I searched for the right course for me for a while. I was very happy when I saw that Lucy is going to have online course B1 and even more happy when she announced that we will have B2 and C1 course online too. I follow her videos on Youtube and I am satisfied with her classes. Added value to the course is definitely the VIP student group. I learnt a lot through the course."
Have any questions?
What level of English do I need to join this Programme?
You need to have a B1 level of English to benefit from this programme, as it trains you to reach a B2 level in English.
This course is also suitable for B2-level students who want to refine their business English skills further.
By the end of the programme, you will be in a position to start our Level 3 Professional English Programme, which covers C1.
When does the Programme start and finish?
The Programme has 12 modules. We release 1 module each week. The first module will be released on 7th of October. The final module will be released on 23th of December. The final exam will be released the following week. After that, you have lifetime access to the course materials.
Can I study at my own pace?
Yes. You have lifetime access to the course content. You can keep the course materials forever. You have 4-12 months’ access to the Course Community, depending on your plan, so you have a minimum of 4 extra weeks after the final module is released.
Does the Programme include live classes?
There are optional live Q&A sessions with my team of teachers if you select the Platinum Plan. This plan includes a live weekly session for each module of the course (12 in total) and gives you the opportunity to practise and ask questions.
We offer two time slots for each session every week. The content is the same, so you can choose the one that fits your schedule best. These sessions will run every week from 14th of October, until the week of the 13th of January. We will record the sessions so that you can catch up if you miss them.
When the Programme ends, can I still see the lessons?
Yes. You have lifetime access to the course content. You can keep the course materials forever.
How does the feedback in the Gold and Platinum Plans work?
With the Gold and Platinum Plans, you have formal weekly homework and access to a VIP space in the community for personal teacher contact.
You have both speaking and writing homework. You can submit:
- Writing for corrections and personal feedback; and
- Speaking recordings for language and pronunciation feedback.
Homework tasks alternate weekly between writing and speaking. So, in total, you will have 6 writing and 6 speaking homework tasks to complete.
(You can choose to only submit writing homework. But pronunciation feedback is extremely valuable).
Will a teacher answer questions and clarify doubts in the Bronze Plan?
Yes! You can ask questions about the course content in the course community. However, please note that teachers will not offer corrections or feedback on your work. If you would like to benefit from this service, consider choosing the Gold or Platinum Plan.
Is there a final exam?
Yes, there is an optional final exam. It can be repeated as many times as you need. It is released the week after the final module.
Will I receive a certificate?
Yes, you will receive a digital certificate of completion when you complete all of the course lessons. You can use the certificate to prove your attendance on a B2 Professional English course. You can also share your final exam result, which you receive via email.
How much time do I need to dedicate per day/week?
You need to dedicate at least 2 study sessions per week. To make maximum progress, we recommend dedicating a minimum of 4 hours per week. You can study a little every day if that suits you better.
I already have a B2 level. Will I still benefit from this course?
Yes! This course teaches B2-level grammar and vocabulary, but it’s very different to most B2 programmes. That’s because it’s designed to prepare you for using English in the workplace.
From negotiating a salary to navigating difficult conversations, all the topics we cover are relevant to the workplace.
Level 2 is the second of 3 levels. It covers the language that you need to complete day-to-day tasks, join meetings and share your opinion. By the end, you will be in a position to start Level 3.
When will Level 3 be available?
Level 3 (C1) is scheduled for January 2025.
What is the minimum age for this Programme?
You must be over the age of 16 to join this Programme. If we find out that a student is under 16, we are legally obliged to remove them from the Programme. This is for child protection reasons.
