Course Content
The teachers who take part in our programme have mostly had other careers before coming into the English Language teaching field, which is why they bring such a wealth of experience to the courses they teach.
They host students because they are all educated and cultured people and they enjoy being sociable and teaching and entertaining. We require them also to have a high standard of comfortable accommodation in good residential areas.
They are all personally selected by us, are young at heart where it counts, and judged by us on the quality of the service they provide to our students which bears no relation to their age in years. All have a wide range of interests and will seek to share in any hobbies and enthusiasms their students have.
+ Meal times, outings or just quiet evenings at home in the company of your hosts will all serve to reinforce and consolidate the structures and vocabulary acquired during your hours of formal lessons.
+ If you are a couple, or friends/colleagues with very similar levels of English, we can arrange two-to-one courses at considerably reduced cost.
