Study the foreign language in your tutor’s home

We are glad to offer you the unique opportunity to study foreign languages in the home of your tutor. You can choose from variety of languages to study and countries to stay in. This is one of the most enjoyable and effective ways to improve your foreign language skills.  You will stay in your tutor’s comfortable home while you receive 15, 20, 25 or 30 full hours of lessons per week – the choice is yours.

Staying in your tutor’s own home and participating in their daily family life immerses you fully in the language you are learning. Language practice continues throughout the day: during meals, on trips and when enjoying activities with your hosts. Your language homestay guarantees an effective course as well as an enjoyable and sociable stay.

Your host teacher will give you lessons which suit you personally, reflect your interests and meet your needs. The tailor-made lessons will go at  your pace, giving you confidence and helping you to make rapid progress towards fluency.
