Extremely well; in a way that is of the very best quality. tree →

In the lessons

A praising word used by teachers and in reports: «You have done excellently». It describes how well something is done, performed or made. Less common than «very well», so it sounds a little formal or teacher-like.

Note

Adverb from «excellent»; the noun is «excellence». Spelling: double l after the e: ex-cel-lent-ly. Do not say «more excellently» much; «excellent» already means the very best.
