School English Exam Preparation Courses

Targeted Immersion for High School Exam Success

Our School English Exam Preparation Courses are designed specifically for secondary school students preparing for the English element of major international qualifications, including the Abitur, Matura, Maturità, and Baccalauréat.

With one-to-one attention from a qualified host tutor, students are fully immersed in the language they are studying, while following a structured, exam-focused study plan tailored to their curriculum. Whether your child needs help with essay writing, comprehension, oral presentations, or listening skills, we provide the tools, confidence, and practice needed to succeed.

Who Is This Course For?

This course is ideal for students aged 15–18 who are:

Preparing for the English component of high school-leaving exams such as Abitur, Matura, Maturità, Baccalauréat, or similar
Looking to improve exam performance in speaking, listening, reading, or writing
Hoping to boost confidence in English through real-world immersion
Seeking structured revision and targeted academic support in a distraction-free environment
Interested in combining intensive learning with an enriching cultural experience

Why Choose an Immersion Course for Exam Preparation?

Standard revision courses may review grammar and vocabulary — but they don’t provide the context, immersion, and personal attention that makes language come alive.

By living and learning in the home of a qualified host tutor, students experience:

Focused, one-to-one tuition that builds exam skills and exam confidence
All-day exposure to English through conversation, activities, and everyday interaction
A peaceful, supportive setting ideal for concentration and productivity
A chance to practise speaking naturally — key for oral exam success
The motivation and mindset shift that comes from learning in a native-speaking environment

What’s Included?

3 to 6 hours of one-to-one tuition per day, customised to the exam format and student needs
Host tutor accommodation with private bedroom and full board
Diagnostic assessment on arrival and personalised study plan
Focused preparation in areas such as essay writing, reading comprehension, text analysis, exam techniques, and spoken interaction
Two accompanied excursions per week, offering a relaxed way to practise English in real life
End-of-course progress report and certificate
Free transfers from the local station and access to our 24/7 support line
Optional mock exams and timed practice sessions

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.

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 works hard to help you achieve your goals, with enjoyable and empowering classes, with her assertive character and patience.

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!
