Welcome to my website! I am Magnus Stephen (Steve) Colvin, a professional, certified high school English teacher, who has lived and taught with an international educational system based in China for the past 20 years. During that time, I have guided countless students and four student teacher candidates, developed year-long curricula, and loved every minute in the classroom.
I have had a sense of humour from a very early age and like to use that sense of the funny in my classes.
“Laughter is the closest distance
between two people.” - Victor Borge

Because of the pandemic of the past few years, we were not able to return to Canada. Last summer, we took advantage of some of the sites and sounds of Vancouver Island, British Columbia.
The pic on the left is of a painting (60cm x 40cm) a former student did of me. She painted that in 45 mins. total. What a talent!
