I've been studying with Kriss for a few weeks now, and I'm thrilled with my results. The teacher took the time to understand my learning style and adapted his classes to make me feel comfortable. Kriss is patient, kind, and understanding. Within a few weeks of working together, I started to build whole sentences in English and recalled the vocabulary I was learning back in school. Before I started lessons with him, I thought it was almost impossible. Now I look forward to each lesson as I see the results. A trial will convince you to choose this teacher.

Working with Rachael has been transformative for my career. As a non-native speaker in a multinational company, I struggled with confidence during important meetings. Rachael's Business English program helped me master the nuances of professional communication. Her approach is systematic yet flexible – she tailored every lesson to address real situations from my workplace. After six months, I successfully led an international project and received a promotion. Rachael doesn't just teach English; she empowers her students professionally.

Bachelor’s Degree in English – What Does It Include?
A Bachelor’s degree in English is much more than language learning—it is a deep immersion into the worlds of literature, linguistics, culture, and critical thinking. An English BA curriculum combines close, analytical reading of classical and modern literary works, the study of literary theory and criticism, linguistic research that examines the structure and development of the language, and high-level academic writing. Students learn to analyze texts in a sophisticated manner, develop complex arguments, and write academic essays that meet rigorous scholarly standards.
The program includes exposure to different literary periods—from Shakespearean literature through Romanticism and the Victorian era to contemporary postmodern literature. Students encounter a wide range of genres—poetry, prose, drama, and critical nonfiction—and learn to identify literary techniques, recurring motifs, and cultural-historical contexts. Alongside this, they study theoretical linguistics—phonetics, morphology, syntax, semantics, and pragmatics—which provides a deep understanding of how language functions structurally and communicatively.
One of the greatest challenges in an English degree is advanced academic writing. Students are required to write long, complex papers that analyze texts, develop original theses, support arguments with textual evidence and secondary research, and adhere to academic standards of citation, structure, and style. This requires not only strong language skills, but also critical thinking, the ability to articulate complex ideas clearly, and solid academic research skills.
What Does a Bachelor’s Degree Program in English Include?
- English and American Literature – Courses on literary periods, major authors, and literary movements
- Literary Theory and Criticism – Critical approaches such as feminism, postcolonialism, and psychoanalysis
- Linguistics – Language structure, the history of English, sociolinguistics
- Academic and Creative Writing – Courses in essay writing, creative writing, and editing
- Poetry and Drama – In-depth analysis of specific genres
- World Literature in English – Postcolonial literature, literature of minority communities
- Research Methods – How to conduct academic research, locate sources, and write bibliographies
- Final Project (Thesis/Capstone) – An independent research project or a substantial creative work
How Can a Private Tutor Help You During Your Degree?
English degree studies are demanding, and students often struggle with the volume of material, the depth of analysis required, or the high standards of academic writing. A private tutor with an academic background in English can be a critical resource for success. They can help you understand complex texts, develop literary analysis skills, improve your academic writing, and prepare for exams and assignments. Unlike group tutoring, a private tutor focuses precisely on your needs—whether that is help with a specific author, understanding a critical theory, or improving the structure and argumentation of your essays.
A private tutor can support you throughout all stages of your degree. In the first year, when you are learning the foundations of literary analysis and academic writing, the tutor can help you develop core skills—how to read a text critically, identify a clear thesis, and construct an academic paragraph. In later years, when you are required to write longer and more complex papers and engage with sophisticated theories, the tutor can help you refine ideas, organize your thinking, and raise the level of your writing and analysis.
The thesis or final project is often the greatest challenge of the degree. It is a long, comprehensive work that requires independent research, the development of an original thesis, and very high-level writing. A private tutor can guide you through the entire process—from choosing a topic, through research and writing, to final editing. They can read drafts, provide detailed feedback, help sharpen your argument, and ensure that you meet academic standards. This guidance can make the difference between an average paper and an excellent one.
How a Private Tutor Helps at Different Stages of the Degree:
| Stage of Study | Type of Support | Concrete Examples |
|---|---|---|
| Year 1 – Foundations | Learning literary analysis and basic academic writing | Understanding essay structure, thesis development, proper citation, poetry/prose analysis |
| Year 2 – Deepening | Working on more complex papers | Multi-layered analysis, use of critical theories, secondary research |
| Year 3 – Specialization | Developing an independent academic voice | Long essays, original arguments, comparative analysis |
| Thesis / Capstone | Research project supervision | Topic selection, in-depth research, extended writing, intensive editing |
| Exam Preparation | Focused review of material | Reading summaries, preparation for analytical questions, timed writing practice |
The Challenges of Academic-Level English Studies
One of the greatest challenges of an English degree is the depth of analysis required. It is not enough to understand the plot or general message of a literary work—you must be able to analyze the language, symbols, narrative structure, literary techniques, and cultural-historical context. You need to read between the lines, identify irony and social critique, and connect the text to broader critical theories. Many students enter the degree because they love reading, but soon discover that academic analysis requires skills very different from reading for pleasure.
Another major challenge is high-level academic writing. A strong academic essay in English requires not only correct language, but also a clear structure, a strong and original thesis, convincing textual evidence, integration of secondary research, and a formal, precise writing style. Many students struggle with organizing ideas, developing a coherent argument, or smoothly integrating quotations and sources. A private tutor can work with you on each of these components, read drafts, and provide targeted feedback that leads to real improvement.
Critical theory and linguistics can be especially challenging. Concepts such as deconstruction, Lacanian psychoanalysis, or generative syntax can be complex and abstract. Often, the theoretical texts themselves are written in dense, difficult language. A tutor who truly understands the material can help simplify the ideas, explain them clearly, and show how to apply them in literary analysis. This can transform topics that once felt inaccessible into subjects that are understandable and engaging.
Common Challenges and How a Private Tutor Helps:
- In-depth literary analysis – Learning how to identify layers of meaning, symbols, and literary techniques
- Structured academic writing – Help with building a clear structure, developing a thesis, and supporting arguments
- Use of critical theories – Explaining complex concepts and applying them in analysis
- Academic research – Guidance in finding sources, evaluating credibility, and integrating research
- Citation and bibliography – Understanding MLA, APA, Chicago, and proper source usage
- Time management and planning – Assistance in planning long essays and thesis projects
- Understanding complex texts – Guided reading of challenging authors such as Joyce, Faulkner, or Shakespeare
- Improving writing style – Work on linguistic precision, flow, and academic voice
- Exam preparation – Strategies for literary analysis exams and timed writing
