No. Foundations and Mastery aren't two steps of the same course – they're for two different people.
Most students in Mastery never lost their English. They just never activated it, despite years of study. Sound familiar?  
So the work here is different. It's not just more grammar, not another word list. It's real-life use – speaking, listening, reacting in the moment. You build every skill together. And the conversations go further than English itself – personal growth, business, real topics adults actually care about – so you're not just practising a language, you're using it. And growing.

This course doesn't teach grammar rules and tables. It helps you use English for topics that really interest you, and topics you actually talk about in real life – emotional intelligence, negotiation, health, happiness, food and diet, and more. And when you discuss and speak about these, you build confidence too.
That's how this course is different – it deals with fear, insecurity and looking for words because of lack of practice.

You need at least A2 level – meaning you can understand basic conversations and read simple texts. If you can understand most of this page, you're ready.

Both! That's what makes Mastery special – English is the tool, but personal growth is the goal. The two work together, not separately. You speak with confidence when you have your own opinion, and you share it well, with good arguments and examples. You need both: the language and the skills to use English naturally and fluently.

Yes and no. If you only need business English, check the Corporate coaching page (you can join some of those courses, at a higher price – they are priced for teams, so contact me for details).
In our speaking practice in the Live rooms and in some lessons, we cover business topics – meetings, presentations, negotiations, client calls, emails. And when your general confidence grows, your confidence at work grows with it.

Different every time. But actually, it doesn't really matter – we all meet in the room, I give you some direction, explanation and a task and send you to breakout rooms with 1 or 2 partners, so you practise in pairs (rarely in threes) for 15-20 minutes. Then you come back to the main room, we comment and I assign a different partner, so you work in new pairs. Don't worry that there will be many – it's you and your partner practising and I join from time to time to see how well you're doing.

Absolutely. In fact, adults over 40 often progress faster than younger learners – they focus better, they're more motivated, and they're more disciplined. Your brain can keep learning languages at any age. My oldest successful student started at 72.

Never. Our live sessions are supportive, not pressured. You can just sit back and smile in your first session if you want. Most students are surprised how comfortable they feel – everyone's learning, everyone makes mistakes, and no one's judging. That's the whole point. And they start speaking even on day 1.

Not while you're speaking in the Fluency Lab room – that will kill your confidence.
I help you get more accurate through the lessons – videos, audio, grammar practice, and gentle feedback along the way.
I correct mistakes in the Accuracy Workshop room and help you improve faster.
But making mistakes is literally how you learn, and we deal with them as you go. They are not our focus.

The more, the better. But 15–30 minutes daily on your own, plus one or two 60-minute live sessions a week (depending on your plan) are enough for real progress and results. That's roughly 3–6 hours a week in total. Regular practice matters more than long sessions from time to time.

No problem. Things happen. The LIVE sessions are valuable, but you can miss from time to time. Your daily practice continues and you can join the next session.
The LIVE sessions topics aren't connected to the daily lessons anyway.

If you love it (and I think you will), you're automatically enrolled in the plan you have subscribed to and you're charged on day 8 for the plan you chose.
If not, cancel anytime during the first week – no charge, no questions asked. Your first week gives you full access to everything, including the LIVE rooms.

Get in touch with me, and we'll discuss the details. It's absolutely possible.

No refunds on any plan – but you get a free week to test-drive first, on all plans, and you're never charged until Day 8. So you can cancel anytime before that, no charge at all.
If you cancel later, you keep your access until the end of your paid period, then it stops.
