Welcome to English Lessons Brighton

My name is Phil Williams, and I created this site in 2012 to share material to help students everywhere master the English language. It has since become so popular that I now also offer bestselling English grammar guides along with skills and exercise books.

On this site you’ll find over 250 free articles to help master English, with more material added every month. We’re also now looking at adding audio and visual material.

You can join our free mailing list to be the first to learn of new content, and if you like what you read please consider supporting ELB to help us produce more and better content.
