Does any of this sound like you?

  • You often struggle to find the right words to describe your thoughts and ideas. Your lack of vocabulary keeps you from expressing your true personality and creativity.
  • You hesitate to speak up in group settings because you are afraid you will use incorrect grammar and struggle to get your words out.
  • You lack confidence in your English pronunciation, so you stay quiet, keeping your anecdotes and personal stories to yourself. 
  • You miss out on friendships because you never allow yourself to really open up. 
If you identify with any of these, you are certainly not alone! 
How do I know that? 

Well, these were my exact feelings while I was learning Spanish. 

I know what it’s like to be in situations where you want to talk freely and share things about yourself, but the words never seem to make their way out. 
This is precisely why I’ve created

This Grammar challenge is superb! I do enjoy it. Despite difficult themes, it was a pleasure to learn not only new grammar but also a great number of new words. What I really love about this challenge is that it provides us with revising all of the information we've learnt.
Michael | Germany
I took two of Lucy‘s challenges so far and it was as much fun as it was helpful for having conversations with native speakers. Lots of content presented by Lucy in a very charming way is absolutely worth the price. I also loved that I‘ve learned many new vocabulary and common phrases used by natives. The exercises are not to easy, so that you find out where it’s necessary to repeat.

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. The 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.
Francesca | Italy
I am addicted to Lucy’s method and her entertaining way of teaching. Being a teacher myself I find her approach always inspiring and stimulating and often I borrow some of her ideas to use with my little students. The challenge has been really interesting because it gives you a new and very different approach to learning English compared to everything else I’ve come across so far and therefore it has been really refreshing. I can’t wait to see what new challenges will be available in the future.
Marcos | Brazil
Lucy's course was so entertaining and absolutely one of my favorites so far. I was blown away about the lessons, how it can really teach you so much and all you learn sticks in your head forever, the exercises, quiz and, extra focus language were the best part for me especially because it brought me a huge amount of new vocabulary. With no shadow of doubt I highly and extremely recommend this to everyone!
