Description
This course will help you raise your English level to become more like a native speaker. The teacher, Rupert, has created the course based upon his experience of teaching thousands of advanced English learners and the errors they make that prevent them from speaking or writing like a native.

Rupert is one of the most experienced and qualified English teachers on Udemy. He has taught English to degree, MA and PhD students at a British university for more than a decade, and his qualifications include a distinction at Masters level in Applied Linguistics and TEFL.

The course will teach you over 100 grammar points, and, in particular, contains 50 key grammar rules that all learners should be able to use confidently in order to appear native.

You will benefit from this course by

Learning how to avoid common errors with words and phrases

Developing more effective and accurate use of modal verbs

Mastering complex choices between tenses

Building expertise in how to use articles

Growing in knowledge of how to use many other key grammatical features, such as using the passive form, advanced English phrases, inversion and cleft sentences

Included in the course are

Short lectures looking at language points in detail

Practice tasks on each grammar point covered

The 50 key grammar rules in PDF form (included in "Resources" after the Introduction video)

A final test on the 50 key grammar rules

Because this is a course for advanced learners of English, Rupert goes straight to the points which he has found to cause advanced learners most difficulties, without spending undue time on less demanding points.

So, this course will be ideal for you if you are

A top advanced learner (e.g. C2 or IELTS 8.0+) who wants to check their knowledge of complex grammar points

A learner on the journey from being intermediate to advanced (B2-C1 or IELTS 6.0-7.5), who wishes to progress to a higher level of English

An English Language teacher who is starting out, and wants to grow in confidence in their teaching of the hardest grammatical structures

At an advanced level, learning needs differ from student to student. That is why I will be adding new videos regularly, based upon the mostly common requested topics. So, if there is a grammar point you would like to see added to the course, let me know in the questions and answers section.
