You are doing your best to reach Advanced or Proficiency English level - which are the only levels opening all the exciting career and academic doors. But it seems a long, expensive, time-consuming and virtually impossible journey? I get it.


You're doing all the right things - listening to podcasts, reading books, learning phrasal verbs from native speakers, finding yourself speaking opportunities... But your vocabulary when you speak? You keep struggling with finding the right words. They tend to be predictable and simplistic. They tend to frustrate you.

Here's why: It's not you. It's your STUDY METHOD.

When you know how to study to reach C1 and C2 then you don't have to stagnate at B2 for one more year. You know the clear steps to enrich vocabulary and think: "Oh yes! Now I am really speaking in Advanced English!"


That's what the C1 Roadmap Method designed by a Cambridge English Teacher is all about: using the right tools, habits and strategies to leave the boring B2 harbour and sail into the colourful, fluent, successful Advanced English. With the right wind in your sails, consistent practice and self-discipline, you can absolutely reach it. Faster than in a language course.


With this course you will get the exact strategy to turn any new word, idiom or phrasal verb into your active Advanced vocabulary.

You know your current study habits will not get you there.

Roadmap to C1 Method will get you out of your comfy B1/B2 couch and gently push you towards the level making all the difference.

What I believe in...


I have always been a truly great believer in self-study. 

I do think it is the most important skill we can have as language learners.

Just because it is so insanely empowering.

Self-study is how I reached C2 in English, C1 in French and B2 in Italian.

Self-study is what is helping my students achieve C1 faster.

Self-study is what makes you dive into pristine waters of the language, where you are exploring it for real, in all its wild beauty.

To me, it is priceless.

But you can't dive into the language if you are unprepared.

You need to know how to breathe, how to swim, how to navigate deep waters.

You need to know how to dive.

And just like diving, self-study is a skill.

There are steps you should take in exactly the same order.


And this also requires quite a lot of effort and self-discipline.

But once you have built the habit, the chains of frustration fall down.

And you are able to take that plunge, all on your own, and swim.

I learnt this skill from the best English teaching professionals while I was doing an internationally recognised teacher training course. 

And now I am teaching you the key ideas I have learnt.

Trust me, this skill is what you need the most on your journey to C1 or C2.

All you need is to know what will help you navigate the deep waters of Advanced level.

Join the course today to find that out.

By the end of the course, you will learn a skill that will help you go towards C1 and C2 levels on your own.r own.

What students say...

“For me, everything was useful in the course. It is short, well-explained, and with very clear examples. Chapter 3 interested me the most, because I learnt how phrasal verbs, idioms and collocations are formed. I'll try to put it in practice, and I'm pretty sure it'll help me more than I think.”

Natalia Rosales, C1 English learner
