Write to Score: C1 Advanced

Your writing course to develop advanced skills

This practical course is designed to help you write confidently and effectively at an advanced level of English. Whether you’re preparing for the C1 Advanced exam or aiming to elevate your academic and professional writing, this course will guide you through exploring conventions of essays, reports, proposals, reviews, and letters. Learn how to organise your texts, improve your language and achieve the desired effect on the target reader.

Why take a dedicated writing course for the Cambridge C1 Advanced?

A dedicated writing course for the Cambridge C1 Advanced offers more than just exam preparation. It gives you the time to develop your skills with personalised guidance while providing plenty of opportunities to practise and improve.

The journey won’t always be easy, but it will be transformative. Learning alongside a group of motivated peers will give you valuable feedback, fresh perspectives, and a supportive community to keep you inspired.

Beyond the exam, you’ll sharpen your critical thinking and build confidence that will enhance all your communication skills.

What students who took this course last year have to say about their experience:

"O curso é incrível, não apenas para os que desejam fazer os testes de escrita, mas também para os que desejam melhorar no inglês de forma geral (escrita, entendimento, conversação e leitura). O Leandro é um professor que aparenta realmente amar dar aulas, e é sempre interessado e solícito no aprendizado dos alunos. As aulas são extremamente descontraídas e cheias de conteúdo. Comparado à quando iniciei o curso, eu genuinamente me sinto mais confiante e extremamente mais avançado no inglês." (aluno preferiu não divulgar o nome)

"It is a very good course to learn to write and practise English in general, but it is a course that you need to have free time to do the exercises because it's there that the magic happens. If you don't have much free time you will not take full advantage of the course. I would say that the classes are also really important to attend, so avoid missing them and watch them after they are recorded, as they are interactive, dynamic and you will learn a lot from them. I would also say to try to apply what you learn in the classroom daily, maybe at work, because by doing that you will continuously improve in writing and it's something enjoyable to do at least for me. So I would definitely recommend this course for someone that wants to improve not only in writing but also English in general if there is time to dedicate to the activity and exercises." — Yle Carvalho

The tutor

I have been working as an English teacher for 15 years. My main interests are exam preparation (Cambridge English B2, C1 and C2 exams), writing skills, and language development for teachers. I hold a degree in Languages (UNESP), the Cambridge C2 Proficiency, the CELTA, and the TKT (Modules 1, 2, and 3), and the Trinity Cert PT qualification.

My aim is simple: to help people feel more confident and more capable every time they sit down to write.

When I’m not teaching, you’ll probably find me enjoying a coffee and a pastry at the nearest café, drafting my next text, or rewatching one of my favourite films.
