Advanced English Courses
at C1 & C2 Level in Brighton
Challenge yourself and achieve true fluency. Discover why our General and Intensive English courses are the perfect fit for advanced learners who refuse to plateau.
More C1/C2 Classes Than Most UK Schools
Many language schools struggle to fill advanced classes. At Loxdale, our size and international reputation mean we consistently attract enough C1 and C2 students to run dedicated advanced-level groups within our General English and Intensive English courses. You won't be mixed with intermediate learners — you'll study alongside students at your level.
This matters because advanced learners need challenge. Textbook exercises won't push you further. At Loxdale, your teacher uses authentic materials — news analysis, academic papers, podcasts, and debate — to refine the nuances that separate a competent speaker from a truly proficient one.
