Un incroyable séjour linguistique de 2 semaines à Édimbourg
Berta es una gran persona i una fantàstica professora, amb la seva ajuda el meu anglès a millorat força. A casa seva amb ella i el seu company Charlie mi he trobat com si estigués a casa d'uns amics de fa temps. Han estat molt amables i tenen una casa molt maca i ben condicionada. Una experiència de 10.

For every question (location, lessons, hospitality, accommodation and meals) five stars for my host and for InTuition. The English lessons were excellent structured.

InTuition hat mir erneut einen Homestay vermittelt, der in jeder Weise hervorragend war. Ich kann InTuition nur empfehlen.
Response from the owner:Thank you Heike, we are delighted that you enjoyed another course with us.
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!

Our 1st grade middle school daughter spent two weeks with a host family on an intensive, full immersion language program.

Highly recommended.

I thank very much Maria for her time, her cooking and her commented visits no forget her kindness.
