11 English General Courses for adults in Edinburgh

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.

Students working with Kaplan Edinburgh study 15 hours per week on improving their communicative skills for everyday and work-related situations using the school’s own methods and materials. Some of the skills you will be working on include: listening, fluency development, pronunciation, reading, grammar, writing, and vocabulary development.

The class sizes are small, and are usually attended by a diverse mix of nationalities. In this context, you’ll find it easy to communicate with your teacher as well as your peers, meaning that you quickly create an affinity with your group and achieve greater results as a consequence.
