2 Wochen Frankreich. Leben bei der Lehrerin. 6 Stunden Unterricht am Tag. Gutes Essen, schöne Ausflüge.
Es hat mir richtig viel gebracht.

Das war eine Reise, die ich nie mehr vergessen werde

Lut Heeb

I had an amazing language stay with my host teacher in southern England. From the very beginning, I was warmly welcomed and felt like part of the family. My teacher went above and beyond what I had expected — not only did I improve my English, but I also experienced so much more. We went on beautiful hikes, visited the cinema, enjoyed afternoon tea with her friends, and went on several lovely excursions together. I was accommodated in a private annex that had everything I needed, which made the stay even more comfortable. It was the perfect mix of learning and cultural immersion. I’m truly grateful for this unforgettable experience!

Response from the owner:Hello Lut, thank you very much for your feedback. We're delighted that you had such a fantastic time with our teacher, Eileen. Thanks again for choosing InTuition!

Our 1st grade middle school daughter spent two weeks with a host family on an intensive, full immersion language program.
The host family was wonderful, the location was great, the impact on her English ability and, more importantly, her confidence in using the language in real situations was boosted tremendously.
Highly recommended.

Response from the owner:Thank you very much. We are delighted that your daughter enjoyed her homestay immersion course with our teacher, Charlotte, in Bournemouth.

Marcel Chantôme

The formula at the teacher’s house which proposed by Intuitive language for me who is retired is the best formula. Why ? Share the life with the teacher but have free time too allowed me to progress in speaking english. That was my goal. I had lucky to find with Maria an exceptionnal teacher and a guide for discover the Maltese history with visits in different places and so enrich my vocabulary. I thank very much Maria for her time, her cooking and her commented visits no forget her kindness.

Response from the owner:Thank you Marcel - we are delighted that you enjoyed such a pleasant experience with Maria (and her excellent cooking!)

Maria is a truly wonderful person. Educated, intelligent, calm, kind...

She is really hospitable, a great host, cooks very well and makes you feel loved and welcomed.

Our visits to the island with her were a real pleasure.
