Hi, I’m Steve and Welcome to PELC
A teacher of English since 2006, I offer tailor-made face-to-face and online courses to students.
PELC stands for “Personalised English Language Courses”. This is because I will work with you – the student – to make newly learned words, phrases and collocations personal to you. You need to personalise lexis by creating true sentences about yourself, your life experiences and other familiar situations.
Since 2014, I have written nearly 100 texts which I share with students. Many of them are based on my own experiences living, travelling and working abroad. You don’t have to worry – you will be able to relate to my experiences, and I will leave all the talking to you.
