If you’re thinking about moving to Cape Town and about what the best way to improve your English might be, the home tuition programme from HLI might be the answer. This programme offers full immersion by assigning you to a teacher, with whom you will live in their personal home for the duration of your studies. Outside of your 15 hours of lessons per week, you will have more than enough free time to explore Cape Town in-depth and make authentic use of your improved language skills.
You will be able to move around Cape Town without a car thanks to the city’s reliable and affordable MyCiti bus service, meaning you will be able to enjoy yourself at the Clifton beaches, the diverse range of bars, restaurants, clubs, and more. Tamboerskloof, Oranjezicht and Vredehoek are some of the most popular and trendy neighbourhoods, and these are a great place to start finding out what Cape Town is about.
You will have support on hand from HLI’s Local Organisers who are also living in Cape Town, meaning you can communicate any issue with them and have it resolved in a timely manner.
