Holiday Immersion Courses for Boarding School Students

Stay Sharp, Stay Immersed – Language Support During School Breaks

Our Boarding School Holiday Courses are designed for international students studying at English-medium boarding schools in the UK or abroad. These fully immersive courses provide the ideal balance of relaxation and structured learning during school holidays, helping students maintain their English, build confidence, and prepare for the next term — all while enjoying the warmth of a home away from home.

Students live and learn with a qualified host tutor, receiving individualised academic support, daily conversation practice, and the opportunity to experience British culture in a relaxed, family environment.

Who Is This Course For?

  • International students attending UK or international boarding schools

  • Teenagers aged 11–18 who want to practise and improve their English over the holidays

  • Students who benefit from one-to-one attention and a quieter, more personalised setting

  • Parents seeking a safe and structured alternative to returning home for short breaks

  • Learners preparing for upcoming exams, school interviews, or academic assessments

Why Choose a Homestay Immersion for Holidays?

Boarding school holidays offer the perfect opportunity to reinforce language skills without pressure. With one-to-one support, cultural immersion, and daily practice, students can:

  • Keep their English active and improving, even outside of term time

  • Get extra help in reading, writing, speaking, and listening

  • Prepare for essays, presentations, or entrance exams

  • Rebuild confidence after a challenging school term

  • Enjoy a genuine British family experience — with activities, conversation, and cultural discovery

What’s Included?

  • 3 to 6 hours of one-to-one tuition per day, based on academic needs and goals

  • Full board accommodation with a host tutor (private room and meals included)

  • Personalised study plan created after a diagnostic assessment

  • Two accompanied cultural or leisure excursions per week (e.g. museums, markets, historic towns)

  • A balanced daily routine of study, relaxation, and interaction

  • End-of-course report and recommendations

  • Local station transfers and 24/7 student support line

  • Optional airport transfers and extended stays for longer breaks

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!
