Our students love it 

Charlie is very good at showing people when the new words and phrases can be used. It helps me to really apply the phrases in the future. The rise and fall of his voice also makes the content more interesting as I can feel the different emotions from him.
Judy, Lawyer in Taiwan
It's evident that Charlie has put so much effort into The Academy and I will definitely recommend The British English Podcast to anyone wanting to improve their English and to my subscribers on Instagram! The Academy is really easy to use and it has a lot of useful tasks.
Anya, Teacher in Russia
Charlie's podcast and academy is easy to follow and helps me remember every word he teaches by following the quizzes and exercises. He is such a good teacher with specific plans for his own lessons who knows the difficulties of a non-native english learner like me.
Hsu Lai, Pharmacist in Myanmar

Frequently asked questions

How long will it take me to complete a Season?

This will depend on how much time you have. The activities are designed to give you something new everyday. So each lesson in a Season will take 2 weeks to complete for the average learner.

What currency is the payment in?

£ – British Pound Sterling / Quid 😉

What if I just want access to the full length episodes, transcripts and glossary, but not the academy lessons?

I’d say you’re missing out on a lot of amazing content but we all learn differently so I have created The Premium Podcast Membership for this reason.

Will this course help improve my english?

Yes! I’ve been teaching English for years and know that this course is going to improve your English significantly.

What's the difference between "The Academy Monthly Membership" and "The Academy Lifetime Membership"?

Great question. The Academy Monthly Membership is billed once a month at £24. Whereas the lifetime membership is billed once a year at a discounted price. So if you know you will love The Academy then you can save yourself 25% by purchasing the Lifetime Membership.

What is the difference between The Academy Membership and The Premium Podcast Membership?

The Academy Membership includes the "lessons" from each Seasonal episode. The lessons have exclusive explainer videos, pronunciation practice audio files, quizzes and much more interactive content + Weekly Speaking Classes with Charlie.
Whereas The Premium Podcast Membership is for students who only want the full episodes, transcripts and glossaries.

What are the Bitesize Episodes?

The Bitesize Episodes were made for you to complete quickly if you don't have as much time. They come with full transcripts, extended glossaries and flashcards.

What are the Bonus Episodes?

The Bonus Episodes are the same length as a Seasonal Episode and as all Academy Members get to hear the exclusive extra parts to the episode. Bonus Episodes also come with full transcripts, extended glossaries and flashcards. They do not have videos, pronunciation practice files or quizzes.

About Your Teacher

Charlie Baxter

Teacher, Podcast Host, YouTuber
Charlie is the host and creator of The British English Podcast & Academy. He has also been an active YouTube English Teacher since 2016 but after seeing how many of his students wanted a more structured, carefully designed way to study he decided to create The British English Podcast Academy.

It focuses on British culture, informal expressions, accent and history that is all unique to the UK.

Charlie has spent 6000+ hours teaching intermediate-advanced students since 2014 privately on Skype and has seen a lot of different styles of learning and while he believes there will never be a single CORRECT way to improve your English there are a large number of methods that people use that do waste people's time and prevent them from improving quickly.

So Charlie decided to create The Academy because he believes he knows a VERY effective way to improve your English quickly and enjoyably.
