What I have learnt on maternity leave.
On Monday I returned to work after 12 wonderful weeks with my new daughter Stella. The time had flown by so quickly, and I couldn’t believe that she was already 3 months old. I was nervous. I was used to my new routine and was worried I had forgotten how to speak to adults, but […]
ELC Finds a New Home!
Since its creation in 2004, ELC’s headquarters have been a closely guarded secret and the team has managed this because we have always made it a point to go to see our students in their own companies ….

Big Fat quiz

ELC does a 30-day challenge
ELC puts “flexibility” at the heart of its offer by Amy Ever since I was a little girl, I have been bendy and most of my youth was spent in a strange gymnastic position: as a crab, doing headstands, handstands, cartwheels, back walkovers, front walkovers, …. At 50 years old, I realise that it […]
Mad dogs and English Coaches Go Out in the Midday Sun
My Life as a Crab by Amy After 30 years of living in the South of France, I would like to be able to say that I understand Mediterranean summers, but apparently, I haven’t learnt a thing! In 2 BC (that’s two years before covid – or 2019 for those more traditional among you), the […]
How your favourite team of trainers stays so happy
How I manage not to throw an axe by Amy It is not uncommon for people to ask me where I find my bounce … and it’s true that I tend to go through life as though hopping from trampoline to trampoline. First of all, life is always easier when you are blessed with a […]
