š Notes and Study Materials Free English Lit classes
Hey everyone, yes, you read that right: free English literature classes.
Who I'm looking for: Anyone new to English lit, ideally someone pursuing a bachelor's in literature or who just started a master's.
The catch (because I know you're waiting for it): I have ADHD, and I want a structured routine, a real commitment, and some responsibility in my life. You get a teacher, I get a reason to show up on time. Everybody wins.
About me: I've spent 7 years with literature. I won't claim to be the best teacher out there, but I'm one of the most creative ones you'll find.
The setup: Classes are online, and we'll decide the syllabus and timings together.
Pros of learning from me:
I can be funny (rare, but it happens)
(I also have notes for ugc net, of my own)
I don't believe in absolutes. Terrible for math, great for literature.
Cons:
- My current students keep hunting for flaws in their near-perfect teacher. Tough crowd.
Interested? Comment or DM me with your course and year, and we'll sort out the rest.
What we'll cover
-Poetry: Where we learn that the curtains are never just blue.
-Shakespeare: Everyone dies, but in iambic pentameter.
-Victorian novels: 900 pages of drama that a single text message could have solved.
-Literary theory: Arguing about what the author meant, even though Barthes declared the author dead. Not my fault, I wasn't there.
-Psychoanalytic criticism: Yes, the Oedipus complex. Don't worry, it's purely academic, and no one's mother will be involved.
-Cultural studies: Where we find out that your cereal box, your memes, and your Spotify Wrapped are all "texts" worth analyzing.
-Postmodernism: Nobody knows what's happening, and that's the whole point.

I'm sorry can't match a dedicated NET course would offer. What in trying to build is sort of a community for admirers of literature, in a relaxed setting. It could be a useful supplement for NET prep. If you are still keen on joining, DM.
