Hi, I’m Steve and Welcome to PELC

With fifteen years’ experience as an English language instructor behind me, I offer tailor-made 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.

“I realised very early that teaching was my destination in life…”

In the summer of 2006, I set out on a remarkable professional journey. I’ve never looked back …

Other Courses

Intensive Course for Polish learners of English

After just 20 short lessons lasting between 15 and 25 minutes, you will gain knowledge in the following areas:

  • Language learning strategies – such as how to use the PELC Word-Phrase Table to store vocabulary and collocations
  • Personalisation – the benefits of creating personalised sentences which contain new vocabulary and collocations
  • The English Tense System – 95% of interactions in English take place in only four tense aspects – present simple, past simple, present perfect and present perfect continuous. You will have the chance to tell some stories about yourself using only these tense aspects
  • Polish to English language transfer – Many Polish learners of English are not aware of the effect their mother tongue has on the quality of their English. Language transfer theory refers to the manner in which learners transfer Polish word-order patterns and grammar structures into English. For example, many Polish learners of English might translate “bardzo lubię wiosnę” as “I very like spring”. The correct translation should be “I like spring very much”. This course explores the issue of language transfer and the types of mistakes Polish learners of English typically make
  • Connected speech – avoiding the isolated pronunciation of words in conversation
  • The schwa sound – an important factor when it comes to achieving fluency in English

Beautiful Rhodes and not quite Turkish delight

How can I describe the Greek island of Rhodes after my recent holiday there? In short, picture-perfect due to the crystal-clear water, sandy beaches and stunning architecture.

I was always on the go in Rhodes, so the holiday turned out to be more of a psychological break from work rather than a physical one. I’m not exactly sure how many kilometres my wife and I walked and swam, but I guess it was around one hundred.

We spent the first part of our holiday in the Pefkos area on the eastern coast of Rhodes. Pefkos, which is a beach resort overrun with English people, is an ideal destination for swimming and diving enthusiasts because of its warm and clear sea water.

I didn’t go to Rhodes with the intention of hiring a car, but the idea began to dominate my thoughts by about the fourth day once I’d researched how much the island had to offer. I was quite apprehensive about hiring a car because I’d only ever driven on the left-hand side of the road – in the UK of course. However, with relatively little traffic on the island, it seemed to be a good opportunity to drive on the right for the first time, so I took the plunge. We visited around ten places, including traditional mountain villages and other small coastal resorts.
