Hi, I’m Steve and Welcome to PELC
I’m a man on a mission. With fourteen years’ experience as an English language instructor behind me, I offer cutting edge online courses to students, while those living in Gdańsk can now benefit from having face-to-face classes with me.
Of course, materials matter! Over the years, I have written nearly 100 texts. 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.
PELC stands for “Personalised English Language Courses”. This is because I will work with you – the student – to make language, words, phrases and collocations personal to you. If you personalise phrases and collocations so they are from your experience, then you will be well-prepared for all future conversations. I will show you how to record new language items with the aid of the PELC Word-Phrase Table.
“I realised very early that teaching was my destination in life…”
I started teaching in Poland on a hot and sunny day in August, 2006. I set out on a remarkable professional journey and I’ve never looked back…

The PELC Word-Phrase Table – Why Personalising Phrases and Collocations works
The Benefits of using a word table:
- Record collocations after a dash (-)
- Write true personalised sentences about personal attitudes, experiences and familiar situations after a star (*)
- Easy to access and develop a repetition schedule
- The possibility to use different colours, fonts and letter sizes to enhance visual memory skills which, in turn, increases the probability of recalling key collocations, grammatical information and personalised sentences
- Enlist a native speaker to make sound recordings of personalised sentences
