LEARN ENGLISH THROUGH LITERATURE

‘Take some books and read; that’s an immense help; and books are always good company if you have the right sort.’

– Louisa May Alcott, Little Women

Can you learn English through classic literature?

Certainly! English literature can become accessible to everyone, even if English is not your native tongue. This belief stems from my experience and that of my students since 2014. It is entirely feasible to develop a rich vocabulary, enhance your grasp of grammar, and refine your writing skills when guided with the right approach. Conventional English language lessons alone cannot yield these outcomes.

Furthermore, there is an added advantage to be gained: a deeper appreciation for English literary culture and expressions, akin to that of a native English speaker. My ultimate goal is to witness students progress to a point where they no longer require my assistance, but can read, comprehend, and write confidently in English for their chosen purposes.

In pursuit of this goal, I have created numerous concise lessons based on classic literary texts (which you can find in my ‘Short Lessons’ section) and offer online lessons for those seeking a more in-depth learning experience. I hope you discover inspiration and guidance here to support your language learning journey!

Elena is helpful and very good at what she does. She helped me improve the English translation of Polish documents that I wanted to sound professional. Thank you so much for your help, I do appreciate it!

Great work Elena! The corrections, writing, vocabulary, and feedback are well done as usual. Your work is always good.

I see that she is not only a responsible tutor but also doing more than her responsibility. Thank you Elena!

Working with Elena as an editor is a pleasure. Her work is perfect, I am really satisfied. Will definitely work with her again. Thank you!

Elena, thank you for your corrections and feedback. I just went through it and it’s so amazing! I will need this all the time!!

Very timely and meticulous work. Provided service beyond what was expected, in particular giving extra feedback on how best to structure the paper for American journals (standard US English styles) should I desire to submit to one of those instead.

Thank you for helping me find all my mistakes! I LOVE being able to fix them now!
