    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.
    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
    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
    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 and Social Sciences Classes from a LSE Masters student
    The onset of globalisation has made English the main spoken language for communication. Speaking fluent English is an imperative skill required to make socio-economic progress. I am currently a masters student at LSE, who was raised speaking the language. In addition to my fluency in English, I also can teach social sciences, as it is my field of expertise.

    English Lessons with Farida (TEFL.org certified, open & flexible approach)
    Hi! My name is Farida. I am an English teacher. I have been working as an English teacher for 3 years. I am TEFL certified (TEFL.org, 120 hour teaching certificate). I hold a degree in Politics & Sociology from the University of Edinburgh. I worked as pupil support staff in primary and secondary schools in the UK, providing additional educational support to students with learning disabilities. I am passionate about education and providing my students with the best quality education I can offer. I can speak Arabic and B2 level Spanish. I have taught students of all different ages and backgrounds, online and in-person, with different reasons and purposes for learning English. From IELTS exams for visa applications to learning a language to adjust living in a new country, I always try to focus on individual goals and needs as much as possible rather than a "one-size-fits-all" approach. For example, if your goal is to simply practice conversational English and become a more confident speaker, then we can focus on that! If your goal is to take an English exam such as the IELTS then that can be our main focus. Please send a message to let me know what it is you are looking for and how I am able to help you reach your goals. I hope to hear from you soon. Thank you!
