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

From 51.09 $ /h

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.

Online Writing Course – make your writing more professional with a proofreader for The Harvard Business Review

51.09 $ /h

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.

Business English – a structured course based upon a wealth of materials

51.09 $ /h

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.

University English Instructor| Started teaching English 9 years ago| Specializing in Conversational English.

My teaching approach is designed to develop communication skills above all. We watch or read materials, such as videos, articles, stories, poems, caricatures, then discuss them; we act out situations from everyday life; we take positions and practice debates. However, this doesn’t mean that we just practice speaking. I also make sure the learner is not running in circles. I’m here to ensure that they do not keep repeating the same mistakes or keep using the same expressions over and over in conversation.
In order to keep making progress, I take my student on a journey that involves:
• Improving their grammar.
• Fixing their pronunciation.
• Enriching their vocabulary by learning to use new words and common idioms.
By the end of this course, you should be able to speak English fluently and confidently.

PS: Because of my academic specialty, I also help with academic writing and creative writing.

I help adult learners speak English more fluently, naturally and with confidence.

This course is focused on real communication, not memorisation or complicated grammar rules.
You will practise speaking from the very first lesson and learn how to express your ideas clearly in real-life and professional situations.

This class is ideal if you:

understand English but feel blocked when speaking

translate in your head and lose fluency

need English for work, travel or international communication

My teaching approach is practical and communication-based.
We use real-life situations, guided conversation, simple explanations and active vocabulary practice.

My goal is to help you speak English clearly, naturally and with confidence - not to make you perfect, but effective in real communication.
