General Language - Intensive
Many English students choose the Intensive course offered by InTuition due to providing 20 hours of class time per week, which is a realistic commitment for the significant majority of students and will promote large improvements while also leaving you with enough time between lessons to continue taking care of other areas of your life.
As a part of the programme, you will live with a local homestay family in the city, who will provide your three daily meals as well as general support whenever possible. Galway provides residents with a diverse mix of activities to get up to, ranging from scenic countryside treks to shopping and nightlife opportunities in its busy city centre. Something that perhaps many international visitors don’t know about Ireland is that it has its own sport known as Hurling, which you might try out during your stay - or at least check out a local match. InTuition ensures that participants constantly find themselves in situations where they can use and develop their English, all while having a good time and creating memories.
