Why choose a homestay immersion course?

1. HIGH QUALITY TUTORS

The secret to the success of our language courses is simple: we work with only the best homestay tutors: selected, resourced and supported by InTuition, so you can be confident about their quality and their commitment to giving you the best learning experience.

2. IMMERSION

Because your course is immersive, you’ll continue to learn when you’re not in class. From what you hear and what you see to the people you talk to, every experience has the potential to build your language skills.

3. WE LOOK AFTER YOU

We look after your from the moment you arrive. We can arrange for you to be welcomed at the airport and will call you during your stay to make sure you are happy with all aspects of your course.

Young Learner students are treated as members of their host family during their course. The tutor's house rules will be clearly outlined, ensuring students are safe and comfortable throughout.

Théo Mairesse

Doreen is a lovely teacher. I loved spending time with her in London. Her home is very pleasant and comfortable, and I felt great throughout the entire trip. The lessons were very interesting and well prepared. She spent each afternoon with me, visiting London and showing me the must-see spots around the city. Thank you so much for this wonderful experience. I highly recommend Doreen and Intuition Languages!

Response from the owner: Thank you very much for your review, Théo. We're delighted that you had such a great course with our teacher Doreen in London.

Meg was a very nice and helpful person. She cooked wonderfully all week. The room was very cosy. The lessons were very informative. She was a great teacher. I really hope I can go to her again.

margherita vanelli

It was the best experience I've had in my life. I lived like a true Englishwoman for three weeks and I had a lot of fun with my host family. Ken and Mary are lovely people; they put me at ease right from the start and made me feel at home. Mary is really nice and good as a teacher. Her lessons were always different and interesting. Ken is really kind, helpful and a great cook. I also met the various family members, who were really friendly. I visited lots of places and I learned a lot of english. At the end, when we said goodbye, I was very sad to leave cos’ I couldn’t have had a better family. They remained in my heart. I hope to see them again soon.

Response from the owner: Hi Margherita, we're delighted to hear that you had such a great time on your InTuition Languages course.

Silvia Ferrarotti

Moira and her family were exceptional. Very hospitable and kind. Moira was an excellent and very initiative teacher. Moira is also a very good cook. The food was varied and very good. Her house is beautiful and very large. Close to York. Don't have any doubts about having a study experience with her.As regards the organisation, the opinion is extremely positive. My daughter's English has really improved and he has had some important personal growth experiences.

Response from the owner: We're delighted that your daughter had such a great language study immersion experience with our tutor, Moira. Thank you for the feedback!

FAQs

What happens before I arrive?

What is a typical day like?

A typical day in the life of Julia from Spain:

8.45 Breakfast and starting the day

9.30 My classes: today we are studying vocabulary for the afternoon trip Natural History Museum

12.30 Lunch: social English in a casual situation really helps me improve my confidence and fluency

14.00 Afternoon activity: a trip to the Natural History Museum gallery in London.

18.30 Homework: I am working on my project – a tourist guide in English for my home town

19.30 Dinner: traditional Fish and Chips supper – it’s fun to share recipes and ideas (and great English practice!)

20.30 Evening: relaxing with the family in front of a good movie!

What can I expect when I arrive?

How do I get to my host tutor's home?

All Young Learners get our Meet and Greet transfer service, being met at their arrival airport by their host tutor or our professional driver and taken to their home in safety and convenience.

The safety and security of our Young Learners is always our top priority.

Students don’t have to worry about anything: we confirm all details in advance, so students know exactly who will be waiting to collect them, and we are always available on our 24-hour number if there are any problems.

How do you select your homestay tutors?

We only work with the best tutors. We personally interview them and inspect their accommodation, before they join our team. They have a recognised qualification to teach English as a foreign language and in most cases a honours degree and experience in both teaching and hosting.

Our teachers are dedicated and professional. They are chosen not only for their experience and qualifications but for their warmth and hospitality and the comfort of their homes. We believe there are four basic ingredients which make a successful host tutor:

1. An enthusiasm for teaching English

2. A professional qualification in teaching (CELTA, Cert. TESOL or equivalent. PGCE MFL, English or Primary with QTS. Equivalent teaching qualification in your country)

3. An empathetic personality

4. A comfortable and hospitable home

All host tutors who host Young Learners are also DBS / Police checked according to our Safeguarding Policy.

What happens out of lessons?

All Young Learner courses include three accompanied afternoon activities per week (Monday – Friday), with a full-day excursion at the weekend for courses longer than one week.

Your host tutor will discuss what activity and excursion options you have during the first day of your course, so that you can plan out what you will do and when. The cost of activities and excursions is covered in your course fee, but if there is something in particular you would like to do or somewhere in particular you would like to go during your course, please let us know in advance, as there may be an additional charge.

On the afternoons when you don’t have an activity or excursion scheduled, your host tutor may allow you independent free time to spend in the local area. It is important that you respect their house rules regarding where you can and can’t go, and when you must be home by.

Don’t worry – we always make sure that you are never left to get bored!

What happens at the end of my course?

At the end of each course, host tutors prepare an End of Course Report which tells students what they have studied, how much they have improved, and what they need to do to continue improving their English. Students also receive a certificate of attendance via email shortly after their course finishes.

All students can choose to continue studying online with their host tutor. See InTuition Online Programme for more details.

Students with special needs

Our courses are designed around each student’s needs and requirements – academic, social and personal. This makes us ideal for a student with special requirements or disabilities.

We have a number of host tutors with a wealth of experience and training in teaching students with special learning needs like dyslexia and audio processing.

For us to best serve the student and offer a unique learning and cultural experience it is fundamental that we receive full details of the student’s learning and social skills during the enquiry process.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us directly.
