ABOUT

What is the 24-Lesson Course?

24-Lesson Course is a fixed-term speaking program built around one TV series (one season) or a curated film collection.
If you already watch movies and series, this program turns it into a repeatable learning algorithm, so English stops being “study” and becomes a skill you use.
As a screenwriter, I teach dialogue the way scripts are built:intention → subtext → structure → delivery.So you don’t only understand what people say. You learn how to speak naturally.

How does it work?

• Choose a TV series or curated film collection (or I recommend one for your level)• Prepare with my glossaries + workbook tasks (short and structured)• Speak actively in every lesson with guided corrections in a shared file• Finish 24 lessons within a fixed timeframe (3 or 6 month) and measure your progress

What you can expect after 24 lessons 

● ~17 of active speaking gives you stronger speaking rhythm and sentence building● ~10 hours of original content provides better listening comprehension (different accents, real speed)● 24 grammar algorithms trains understanding of real constructions, informal speech

Vocabulary result (typical):

Because words repeat across episodes, students often build up to ~600 active words & expressions in a single module without forced memorization ( 30 episodes of TV Show/movie fragment × 25 min and target ~20 active words/ep, that’s ~600.

SERIES/MOVIES EXAMPLES

METHOD MATERIALS

How my system works

Teaching Method Explained

My method combines linguistics and screenwriting thinking, turning films and TV series into a structured system for learning real spoken English.Through the Watch → Analyze → Practice algorithm, you move from passive understanding to confident, active speaking with clear deadlines and measurable results.During speaking practice, I correct mistakes in a shared file, so you see the right grammar and pronunciation immediately.
Each month, you receive a short progress review and next-step focus.

FAQ

Any Questions Left?

  • Real progress comes from structured repetition and deadlines.
    Without a fixed timeline, there is no discipline and no result.
    24 lessons equal one full season of a TV series — a complete story with a clear arc and payoff. It’s also easy to pace: 3 months for an intensive run or 6 months for a steady rhythm, without overload.

  • Yes. If it matches your level and goals, we can use it. If your favorite show is too difficult for your level, I may suggest a better bridge option first (a simpler series), and then we return to your chosen show when you’re ready — so you don’t feel overwhelmed and still keep motivation.

  • Yes! During the lesson, I write down every correction in a shared file that works like a whiteboard. You immediately see the correct spelling, grammar, or pronunciation. At the end of each month, I analyze this file, identify the mistakes you make most often, and prepare extra tasks to help you improve exactly where you need it.

  • I explain grammar using real dialogues from movies and TV shows, so every rule is connected to natural speech. In addition, I’ve created unique grammar guides: The Secrets of Algorithm and English Grammar with Toby the Cat.

  • Yes! You can suggest your own movie or series, and I will prepare all study materials for it.

  • Homework is highly recommended. I usually give small, practical tasks like watching a part of movie and write down new words to help you practice between lessons.

  • During the free consultation and trial lesson I check your level through real speaking: how you build sentences, how comfortable you are, how you understand questions, and how you react to real film dialogue. This is more accurate than only a grammar test because my courses are focused on practical speech and comprehension.In my courses I work with A2–C1. A2 (Pre-Intermediate), B1 (Intermediate), B2 (Upper-Intermediate), C1 (Advanced).

  • Don’t worry it happens naturally! The same words and expressions repeat across episodes, so by the end of the first season you’ll remember about 80% of them without extra effort.And to make it even easier, I provide quizzes and custom glossaries that help you practice and lock in the vocabulary.

  • Yes, I can! I have a list of carefully selected movies and TV shows that match common exam topics such as education, environment, technology, health, travel, and culture. We’ll use them to practice vocabulary, listening, and speaking. For best results, I recommend combining our lessons with a certified exam-preparation course at an official testing center.

  • Yes, absolutely! I have special materials and carefully selected movies that help you practice interview vocabulary, common questions, and confident communication. Even a few lessons can make a big difference in how prepared you feel.
