ABOUT
What is the 24-Lesson Course?
This is a fixed-term spoken English program built around one TV series or a selected film collection.
If you already watch movies and TV series, this course shows you how to turn them into a powerful language-learning system.
As a screenwriter and linguist, I teach you to analyze dialogue the same way scripts are analyzed: not what is said, but why it’s said this way.
How does it work?
● You choose a TV series or a curated film collection● You prepare for each lesson using my custom glossaries and workbooks● You speak actively in every lesson with guided feedback● You complete 24 lessons within a clear timeframe and achieve measurable improvement in speaking confidence and fluency

TEACHING METHOD EXPLAINED
How We Learn English with Movies and TV Series
Linguistics + screenwriting thinking
Lessons are built at the intersection of screenwriting and linguistics, where language is learned through story, intention, and structure, not memorization.
We analyze films using Sid Field’s paradigm: setup, turning points, and resolution. So you don’t just understand what characters say, but why they say it.
This approach trains you to think in meaning, subtext, and intention, turning English into a living, structured system rather than a set of rules.
Watch → Analyze → Practice
At home: you watch the episode/movie with subtitles, write down new words/phrases, and complete short preparation tasks from my workbook.
In the lesson: we discuss what you watched (speaking practice), analyze dialogues (meaning + subtext + structure), check your notes, practice vocabulary in conversation, and work on grammar using my algorithms. The lesson is designed to move knowledge from passive understanding → active speaking.
Results
The same words and expressions repeat across episodes of TV show or a group of movie with similar topic.
So, after one module, you’ll remember and confidently use about 600 new active words in real conversations.
Teaching Materials
I use a combination of authentic content and signature materials: original subtitles/scripts with vocabulary notes, glossaries for each movie/TV series, my visual grammar guide Secret of Algorithm, speaking tasks based on dialogues, and writing tasks inspired by characters and story.
For each student I create: Personal Study Plan, progress tracking sheets + feedback, and recommendations for what to watch between lessons.
Why This Method Works
Movies give a complete language environment: real pronunciation, rhythm, intonation, informal speech, slang, idioms, phrasal verbs, and natural grammar.
You don’t learn isolated words — you learn how people actually speak in real life. Plus, movies provide emotions and story, and that makes your brain remember language faster than standard exercises.
What Makes this approach different
● Teacher = screenwriter + linguist● Clear course plan & deadlines but without pressure● Signature learning materials only + long-term access● Predictable result● Clear algorithm: you always know what to do, why you do it, and what comes next

FAQ
Any Questions Left?
What types of courses you offer?
I offer two main formats: (1) Long-term courses based on a TV series (one season) or a group of movies. This format is built as a structured module of 24 lessons and is designed for deep speaking progress and long-term results. (2) Express Course (1–10 individual lessons) — a short, goal-focused format for urgent needs such as job interviews, presentations, conferences, exams, business trips, or important conversations. Both formats are 1:1 online and built around my Watch → Analyze → Practice methodology and my original materials.
What is the course duration?
The long-term course is divided into modules. One module = 24 lessons, and it usually takes 3–6 months, depending on your pace: 1 lesson/week (steady plan) or 2 lessons/week (intensive plan). Express Course lasts 1–10 lessons, depending on how complex and urgent your goal is. You can start with Express and later switch into a full module if you want.
Why exactly 24 lessons?
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.What are advantages of your lessons?
● Movie-based learning: real language, real emotions, real context — not textbook English● Clear algorithm: you always know what to do, why you do it, and what comes next● 24-lesson season format: a complete story arc, not endless studying● Small, manageable steps: no overload, steady progress● From passive to active: you don’t just understand English — you start using it● Confidence first: mistakes are part of the process, not a failure● Prepared for real life: after the course, you’re ready use it at work
What Makes These Lessons Different
● Teacher = screenwriter + linguist
● Clear course plan & deadlines
● Long-term access to free learning materials
● Predictable resultHow can I check my level?
You can check your level during the trial lesson, where I assess your speaking, listening, and vocabulary in a relaxed conversation.
Do you correct mistakes in pronunciation and grammar when I speak at the lesson?
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.
Who is this course for?
For anyone who loves movies, needs English for exams or work, or wants to restart learning and speak with confidence.
Can I choose a favorite show or movie not on the list of your courses?
Yes! You can suggest your own movie or series, and I will prepare all study materials for it.
Do I have to do homework?
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.
How do we learn grammar?
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.
What should I do to memorize the words from the movies?
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.
Can you help me with TOEFL, CAE, or IELTS?
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.
I need to prepare for a job interview and only have time for a few lessons. Can you help me?
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.
