Advanced English Lessons
Alright, let’s get this straight: we’re not offering you one of those ‘miracle’ online courses that claim to transform your English overnight. We’re also not going to put you in a virtual room with a crowd bigger than a music festival. And you can forget about pre-packaged, one-size-fits-all lessons that promise the moon and deliver… well, not very much at all.
What Lexical Lab does offer is something far more valuable: a genuine path to improving your English, focusing on the richness and practicality of the lexical approach. Our online English courses aren’t about rapid leaps up the levels; they’re about deep, meaningful progress in how you understand, speak, and live English, especially at Upper-Intermediate (B2) level and beyond.
So, What’s On The Menu?
Intimate Interactive Zoom Sessions
Picture this: learning English in small groups where every question counts, every conversation is a step forward, and your tutor knows your name and your story.
Intelligent Conversations
We dive into discussions that matter, where you’ll get the chance to articulate your thoughts on a wide range of topics and sharpen your ability to argue, persuade, and understand in English.
Homework That Doesn’t Feel Like Work
Each week, you’ll engage with tasks designed to challenge and intrigue you, pushing you to explore the nuances of English that coursebooks often leave out.
Natural English in Action
Learn the language as it truly is – vibrant, evolving, and full of expressions that textbooks can’t teach. This is not just about knowing the grammar. It’s about sounding super fluent!

and improve your English?
Note that all times given here are LONDON TIMES and classes are only for students aged 18 or over.
Our next courses start the week beginning September 16th. 2024
Unless otherwise stated, our online classes are aimed at students who feel they are at Advanced (B2) level or above.
Students on our Advanced classes will already be experienced language learners looking to boost their fluency and get better at dealing with the business of everyday life, and at discussing thoughts, feelings, opinions, ideas and experiences.
Because we work directly from what you say – and show you better ways of saying what you mean – we believe level is less important than in classes that follow a standard coursebook syllabus. Our approach makes it ideal for those wanting to learn English online effectively.
All our lessons are delivered via Zoom.
We have a maximum of ten people per group. Once the classes are full, they’re full!
Should you miss a class, we are under no obligation to offer replacement lessons.
Please note that classes are for students aged 18 and over.
