Learn English grammar, speaking and listening skills and become more fluent learning from a native English teacher

Our take
Based on the ratings of 6,943 students, a sample of their written reviews and the syllabus, as the course stood in October 2025. No course pays to be reviewed.
Anthony Kelleher's course is a set of short grammar units for people who already speak English and want to sound more natural. It runs 6.8 hours across 83 lectures, with 16 grammar topics and a pronunciation bonus at the end. Topics include 'unless', 'whether', passives, past perfect and three-word phrasal verbs. Each gets about five lectures, mixing explanation with speaking and listening practice. PDF transcripts and MP3 downloads come with it, and more than 43,000 students have enrolled.
Reviewers like how clearly and slowly the teaching is delivered. One praises the everyday examples and two single out the listening practice. One says the instructor answers questions quickly, however basic they are. Another likes the teacher's accent. A few say it built their speaking confidence. The main complaint is pace. A three-star reviewer found the slow delivery boring for something labeled advanced, though still called the content specific and useful. There are no quizzes or graded tests, so practice depends on you speaking aloud.
The course was last updated in October 2025, and the description says it will keep growing. The ratings are solid: 4.4 from nearly 7,000 reviews, with most of them four or five stars. Despite the Expert label, the requirements ask for intermediate to upper-intermediate English, and that matches the tone. It is a good pick if you want guided speaking drills on specific structures. It is a poor fit as a full grammar reference, since it covers a chosen handful of topics.
Pros
- Each grammar topic includes speaking and listening practice, not just rules
- Slow, clear delivery with everyday examples that reviewers find easy to follow
- PDF transcripts and MP3 downloads let you practice away from the screen
- Reviewers say the instructor answers student questions quickly
Cons
- Slow pace can feel dull to stronger students, per a three-star reviewer
- No quizzes or graded exercises to check your progress
- Covers only 16 chosen topics, so it is not a full grammar reference
It's a great course for me as intermediate level of English. This course made me confident in all topics, structures, things to note and speaking and listening practice.
Labeled Expert, but the requirements ask for intermediate to upper-intermediate English, so true beginners will struggle.
What you will learn
- Understand more advanced spoken English.
- Have a deeper knowledge of the structure of advanced English grammar.
- Speak English with more confidence.
- Produce the target structures confidently and accurately.
- Sound more fluent by using advanced English.

poor lecture material

The course provides you with the mental frameworks and a solid foundation that allow you to navigate confidently through the language. As a result, you'll be able to express your thoughts directly in English, bypassing your native language instead of translating everything in your head.

As i Expected!! The course is amazing and all doubts are cleared. No matter how dumb your questions are, the instructor will respond you in no time. There are so many courses out there, but I'm glad i made the right choice.
