    Learn with English Literature – an EFL course based on graded readers of classic tales from English literature

    Explore English literature from the 14th century to the 21st century. I have a library of graded readers covering all levels 1 - 6. There is everything from Geoffrey Chaucer to George Orwell via Shakespeare to explore.

    Are you interested in horror? Then how about Bram Stoker’s ‘Dracula’ or the ghost stories of M. R. James? Is romance what you like in literature? Then why not study ‘Sense and Sensibility’ by Jane Austen, or if you prefer your romance a bit more dramatic, then I would recommend ‘Wuthering Heights’ by Emily Brontë. If science fiction is more your taste, you will find H. G. Wells and Jules Verne in my collection. Is adventure what you are interested in? How about 'Jamaica Inn' by Daphne du Maurier. Politics? '1984' by George Orwell. Is comedy more your thing? In my library you will find ‘Three Men in a Boat’ by Jerome K. Jerome. Perhaps detective stories? I have the greatest of them all – Sherlock Holmes by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. And of course, no library would be complete without the classic tales from Thomas Hardy and Charles Dickens.

    When you learn English with some of the finest stories ever told, it helps to make everything you learn stay in your memory.

    About Me

    I was born in England. I graduated in English Language and Literature from the University of Liverpool with an honours degree. I have worked as an English teacher and proofreader for twenty years. My clients have included: The Harvard Business Review, the United Nations, Google and CitiBank. Over these twenty years I have developed a very effective technique for improving a student's writing skills. You can now benefit from this technique. Study whenever you want – everything is done via e-mail.

    Education

    B.A. Honours, English language, Literature and Linguistics
    'A' levels: English Language, English Literature, Criminal Law, Civil Law, Social and Economic History

    Experience / Qualifications

    B.A. Honours, English language, Literature and Linguistics
    twenty years' experience teaching EFL and proofreading documents
    Business English – a course based on either the Cambridge BEC vantage certificate or the Cambridge BEC Higher certificate. All course materials are entirely constructed from the original materials published by the examining board at Cambridge University.
    This is actually a number of courses. Each course is based upon original materials from the Cambridge examining bodies. The following exams are covered: Preliminary English Test First Certificate of English Certificate of Advanced English Certificate of Proficiency in English
    Students will be expected to complete a reasonable amount of study as homework before participating in each class. The course covers the following legal areas: corporate law financial law contract law liability in law suits patents and intellectual property
    Course Description: The course is conducted entirely by e-mail, this ensures complete flexibility of the students’ time - no fixed day / time for lessons, so students can work whenever they want. Students improve their skills in written English by engaging in a highly focused step-by-step methodology which guarantees results. Four written exercises are assigned each month. The course can be structured for either business English / general English or a combination of the two. Here’s how it works: 1. Each week the student receives instructions for a writing exercise. 2. The student sends their written exercise to the teacher for the first time. 3. The teacher highlights mistakes in the student’s writing using a special colour co-ordinated scheme to indicate mistakes in either grammar / spelling etc. 4. The student corrects their various mistakes and returns their writing to the teacher for a second time. 5. This time the teacher corrects any remaining mistakes using the ‘track changes’ function in MS Word so that the student can clearly see how their text has been corrected and make comparisons between their own writing and how this has been improved by the teacher.

    English learning or improvement courses
    English, beyond being the international language of business, is the most widely spoken language in the world. It is a language that brings together diverse people, from different backgrounds, cultures, and languages, enabling communication between these different parties—a crucial element in various contexts, whether traveling or at work. Moreover, today, for many recruiters, speaking English is not a bonus but almost a necessity. During the classes I give, I will not only focus on grammatical mastery of the language, but we will also work on the pronunciation and phonetics of this language. I will also suggest that we read aloud together different texts from different sources (novels, newspaper articles, etc.) allowing us to add a cultural and intellectual aspect to our language learning.
