The Home Tuition Programme includes: • 15 hours private language lessons per week • Accommodation in your teacher’s home • Meals and social interaction with your host
Choose the number of language lessons you require and personalise your Programme according to your needs, interests and preferences with a multitude of options and specialisations to choose from.

Culture, entertainment, leisure and current events are embedded in people’s language and these are as much part of the language learning process as the lessons.

There are two options available for this course: 20 hours per week with 5 hours of extracurricular activities, or 15 hours per week. I chose the 15-hour option due to financial reasons. The syllabus is equally covered in both options, with a clear beginning, middle, and end (as it is a summer course), and all skills are taught. This is an important point to note, as not all schools follow this structure. The teachers are excellent, and due to the small size of the school, there is a sense of closeness between the management, teachers, and students. I appreciate the diversity of nationality and age, which allows for an enriching exchange of experiences and culture. Lastly, the cost-benefit ratio of this course is unbeatable, and I doubt anyone could find a better option.

Teachers were very good. Great energy, and very nice array of learning tools: discussion, listening comprehension, reinforcing games. I definitely came away with improved French skills.
