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

Overall, I was very enthusiastic about the quality of the school. Everything was very well organised, you were well informed about the procedures in advance. On the first day, there was a nice welcome with a friendly assessment of language skills. All of the teachers I experienced were friendly, personable and absolutely professional. My teacher Constance made the lessons very lively, with good, creative ideas. She was able to turn even dry grammar lessons into motivating units with a lot of humour. I also found the afternoon activities good and interesting. I especially liked the French dinner at Chantale's. Absolutely recommended!
Overall I was very satisfied and will probably come again

Reasonable price, quality of teaching, comfortable classrooms, kindness of teachers and other staff. Through Google Classroom you can access the summary of everything given in class every day.
I've only been there for a week, but due to the quality of the teaching, I think it's worth doing long-term courses.
