Frequently Asked Questions
When is Fluency School available? I want to join.
Fluency School is a 7-week program offered twice a year, including six learning modules, two weeks of review, live workshops, and more.
Spots are limited and often sell out quickly. We keep the experience intimate, ensuring we know your name, story, and specific needs.
To join, sign up for the Fluency School Waitlist.
While joining the waitlist doesn’t guarantee a spot, it does ensure you’ll receive updates and be notified the moment registration opens. Be ready to register as soon as enrollment begins.
How does Fluency School work?
It’s a simple 1-2-3 process:
- Watch the Course: Follow the module-by-module videos to learn specific confidence and fluency-building strategies. Use our worksheets to personalize your learning.
- Develop Your Skills: Implement what you learn with real-life practice. Join live workshops with our Fluency Coaching Team and receive coaching from Annemarie.
- Communicate with Confidence: Weekly progress checks and feedback during live practice sessions help you fine-tune your skills and make unstoppable progress.
Fluency School is a 7-week online program with 6 core learning modules. Each week, a new module is released, featuring videos and downloadable worksheets you can access anytime. This step-by-step approach helps you learn and practice without feeling overwhelmed. We also include 1 review week at the end to give you extra time to master the skills you’re building.
Throughout the program, you’ll participate in live practice sessions, including:
- Hot Seat Coaching with Annemarie: Get personalized feedback during a 10-15 minute session. Even if you don’t get a hot seat, you’ll learn a lot from watching others.
- Workshops with Fluency Coaches: Practice what you’re learning each week.
- Conversation Practice Sessions: Collaborate with your peers at the end of each week to review and refine your skills.
All live sessions are 60 minutes long and recorded, so you can rewatch them anytime.
Is this course live? What if I can't join live sessions?
As a Fluency School student, you have lifetime access to all the learning modules including training videos, worksheets, and our Fluency School bonus materials, including the Resource Library.
The live coaching sessions, workshops, and interactive learning in the Student Community happen during the 7-week program, which we offer 2 times per year.
All coaching sessions and workshops are recorded. These are made available inside the course so you can watch them at any time.

Will I get feedback in Fluency School?
In Fluency School, you can sign up for the chance to get individual practice with and feedback from Annemarie in her weekly Coaching Sessions.
However, since it’s group coaching, we cannot guarantee that everyone will get a chance to work with Annemarie individually.
This is why we offer our All Access and VIP plans.
With All Access and VIP, you get:
- Weekly Live Workshops: Join two live workshops with our Fluency Coaches each week, where you can practice in smaller groups and ask questions. Our coaches provide guidance and support.
If you’re looking for in-depth weekly personalized feedback and small group classes with Annemarie, consider our VIP Program, which includes:
- Weekly Small Groups with Annemarie: Join Annemarie for two classes a week in a small group designed for personalized support and fast-tracked progress.
- Weekly Personalized Feedback: When you complete the Speaking Challenges, you’ll get personalized video feedback from Annemarie.
While personalized feedback isn’t included in the standard program, you’ll learn to track your progress and identify areas for improvement using your Weekly Progress Journals.
Is the Student Community a Facebook group? I'm not on Facebook.
No, we do not use Facebook in Fluency School. We understand that many of our students no longer use Facebook.
We’ve created our own private Student Community so all students can fully participate and benefit.
I've tried other courses. How is Fluency School different?
Since 2016, Fluency School has helped thousands of students from 93 countries gain lasting confidence and fluency, based on over 20 years of teaching experience. Here’s why it’s different and effective:
Proven Success
Fluency School has served students from over 90 countries and consistently sells out quickly. Our students regularly improve their accuracy, fluency, and confidence, going from self-doubt and fear to freedom in speaking English.
Personalized Learning
Though it’s a group program, Fluency School offers multiple ways to personalize your learning. You’ll learn to identify your English strengths and challenges, focusing focus on what you need most, with guidance from Annemarie and the Fluency School Team.
Speaking Practice & Lifelong Strategies
Fluency School combines real-life speaking practice with lifelong strategies for success. You’ll participate in group coaching workshops, complete weekly speaking challenges, and use progress journals to self-evaluate and improve your speaking.
Fluency-Focused
Our program targets the skills that contribute to fluency, flow, and clarity, giving you the practice and empowerment to use them confidently in real-life situations.
How much time do I need to complete Fluency School? I have a busy schedule.
We understand that life is busy, and we’re committed to helping you succeed no matter your schedule. Many of our students have full-time jobs, families, or other commitments, and some even travel during the program. Fluency School is designed to be flexible, so you can stay on track.
Before Fluency School begins, you’ll receive our Formula for Success Bonus—a 4-part training to help you prepare, including tips on making time for the program. We recommend completing this training before Day 1.
To get the most out of Fluency School, we suggest setting aside 4-6 hours a week for learning, practice, and support.
With lifetime access, you can follow along week-by-week or go at your own pace. You’ll always have access to the course materials and can rejoin us whenever you’re ready.
What if it's not for me? Can I get a refund?
Absolutely! You can even try the first week 100% risk-free.
I’m fully committed to helping you speak English proficiently and with confidence. And I want you to be absolutely satisfied.
You can try the course for 1 week with the opportunity to get a full refund. If you do the work and feel that the course is not for you, you will receive a 100% refund.
In order to get a refund, you must do all the work and tasks in Week 1. There is a firm deadline for refund requests with no exceptions.
This means you need to commit to Fluency School for the first week. I know if you do the work and participate in the course, you will get the results you want. However, if you do the work and do not find value, you can simply send me all the work you’ve completed throughout Week 1 with your request and I will provide you the full 100% refund.
I do this because I seek serious, committed students who are ready to do the work. I take the course seriously and have a very high standard of commitment, support, engagement, and results-oriented learning.
When you register for Fluency School, you agree to this refund policy.
What kind of progress can I make? How fast?
Within the very first week, you’re likely to experience progress with a better understanding of how to start and continue conversations in English. And you’ll have successful conversations with your Fluency School peers.
As you continue through the program, the biggest breakthroughs typically come in Weeks 3 and 4. Students experience bursts of confidence with newfound clarity and flow.
By the end of Fluency School, you’ll be having in-depth, meaningful conversations with ease — even on topics you’ve never discussed before in English.
All of this is possible for you when you show up every week, participate in the program, and do the work.
As with any new skill, learning requires time and practice. The more time and effort you put in, the greater your progress.
How do I know if I have the right English level?
Good news! If you regularly watch Annemarie’s Confident English lessons and you understand them, then you’re right where you need to be.
Fluency School was specifically designed for international English language users with an intermediate level of English or above. At this level, you already have a strong foundation in English grammar and vocabulary, but what you need is to learn to speak English naturally and fluently.
I know you’ve been learning English for years. And you feel stuck. Getting unstuck is exactly what Fluency School will help you do.
There are two ways you can be sure that you have the right level for Fluency School:
- Do I have the Right Level for Fluency School? Self-Assessment. I created this self-assessment so you can quickly identify if you have the right level. Simply click on the document and complete the assessment. It will take 5 minutes.
- If you’ve taken online level placements, the TOEFL or IETLS, then these levels would be perfect for participating in Fluency School:
- Intermediate to Upper-Intermediate
- B1+ to C1
- TOEFL Score: 60 and above
- IELTS Score: 5 and above
According to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR), this means you should be able to do the following when you speak English:
Can deal with most situations likely to arise while traveling in an area where the language is spoken. Can enter unprepared into conversation on topics that are familiar, of personal interest or pertinent to everyday life (e.g. family, hobbies, work, travel and current events).
Can connect phrases in a simple way in order to describe experiences and events, my dreams, hopes, and ambitions. Can briefly give reasons and explanations for opinions and plans. Can narrate a story or relate the plot of a book or film and describe my reactions.
If that description is correct for you, then Fluency School is a perfect fit. You can read a complete description of a B1 level here.
NOTE: If you are a beginner English speaker or at a level lower than intermediate, Fluency School is not the right fit for you.
