If you’ve ever dreamed of moving to Scotland for your English studies, then living with your teacher in their home in the capital might be the ideal option. You’ll take 15 hours of lessons every week in your teacher’s home in Edinburgh, and you will be able to request a focus on certain subjects or grammar structures that interest you particularly.
Edinburgh has a wealth of interesting places and events to choose from, and the city is considered by local residents to be excellent for getting around on foot. You’ll have plenty of historical castles and ruins to satisfy your curiosity, but if you ever want to enjoy an evening out with your friends then you will find a vibrant live music and bar scene and much more.
The home tuition programme promises to provide an immersive experience in which you have constant opportunities to use English in your day-to-day life. If you experience any issues while undertaking your studies, HLI requests that guests contact their Local Organisers living and working in Edinburgh for a solution.
