Berta es una gran persona i una fantàstica professora, amb la seva ajuda el meu anglès a millorat força. A casa seva amb ella i el seu company Charlie mi he trobat com si estigués a casa d'uns amics de fa temps. Han estat molt amables i tenen una casa molt maca i ben condicionada. Una experiència de 10.

For every question (location, lessons, hospitality, accommodation and meals) five stars for my host and for InTuition. The English lessons were excellent structured. As a German nativespeaker I finished with a great boost in my English skills. The support of InTuition in the background was excellent and helpful. If it will happen I will choose InTuition again. And Oxfordshire was a really nice place to stay.
Response from the owner:Thank you Juergen, we are delighted that you had a great experience with our teacher, Maureen. Thanks again for choosing InTuition!

Esperienza molto positiva a Saint Paul's Bay (Malta). Le lezioni erano ben strutturate con materiale molto interessante e stimolante che si adattava perfettamente ai miei interessi e alle mie curiosità. Insegnante molto colta, premurosa e sempre paziente. Non potevo sperare di meglio!
Response from the owner:Thank you for the feedback. We are delighted that you enjoyed your course with our teacher Maria in Malta.

I had the pleasure of taking English lessons with Ms. Rachel Stabb, and I couldn’t recommend her highly enough. She is patient, professional, and makes every lesson engaging and effective. Thanks to her clear explanations and tailored approach, my confidence and fluency have improved significantly. An excellent teacher who truly cares about her students’ progress and makes learning fun.
Response from the owner:Thank you, Catina. We are delighted to hear you had such a good homestay immersion course in London. Thank you for choosing InTuition!
