It is the most effective way to make rapid progress: you live with your teacher who will give you private language lessons and correct you at all times.

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.
