Making waves! 🌊
We had so much fun trying out surfing last weekend at @thewave 🏄♀️ the new place to be in Bristol!
We loved learning to surf so much, that more of our students are trying it again this weekend - and the forecast even looks sunny! 🌞
Come to Bristol and visit the Wave for yourself with your fellow students - guaranteed to make you smile, forget your worries and become a surfing pro in no time 🤙

Of course!!! The great Saad from Kuwait. Best regards to him and to all ELC members.
Wonderful news
👏👏👏👏❤
Here’s to new beginnings! 🌞
It was bittersweet to say goodbye to our leavers last week. They are off to new adventures, and each one of them has a special story with ELC Bristol ✨
Receiving his certificate from our lovely teacher Pam is the brilliant Kanta from Japan - he’s off to start an exciting job in London 🇬🇧
Meanwhile Lien from the Netherlands and Juliette from Belgium are smart young women who are happy to have completed their Cambridge exams last week 👏
We’ll miss the wonderful Sevrine (with us since August) and Anouk, both from Switzerland who are off to pastures new after many months with us 👍
Then there’s our Gareth Bale lookalike, Johan from France. He’s faster than Gareth, and we’re sure he’ll be setting some running records soon! 🏃🏻
Not forgetting our St John’s buddies Veerle and Cornelieke. They are safe to hug due to living in a bubble in St John’s (where they studied hard and socialised harder!) They plan to come back to Bristol soon when the pubs are open - cheers to that! 🍻
Good luck to all our amazing students. Congratulations on persisting with your online studies - you make us so proud ☺️
And that can only mean hello to our new students starting in school today! 👋
We are very excited to be back teaching face-to-face! See you in the classroom 😉
