Our mission: to inspire cultural understanding and connection through immersive and personalised language learning.

InTuition Languages is a pioneer in the development of homestay language immersion: complete immersion programmes where students live and study with their own personal tutor.

We are also experts in 1:1 online language training and all other forms of personalised language tutoring.

Since 1992, we have been driven to provide language training excellence for every one of the more than 40,000 students who have trusted us to help them achieve their goals, whatever they may be.

Why homestay immersion?

Complete immersion in a homestay environment is the most efficient way to learn a language. Read the science behind our success here.

How we recruit our homestay language teachers

Unlike some other homestay language immersion training organisations, we only work with qualified teachers. All of our teachers are certified to teach the language which they provide, wherever they live in the world.

Our homestay teachers go through a comprehensive 7-step recruitment process, ensuring that the highest standards of quality are maintained.

Step 1: Teachers apply to register with us. Most have a background in language teaching, and want to swap the chaos of the classroom for the control and flexibility that personalised tuition offers.

Step 2: Our academic team checks that the teacher is qualified to teach the language which they have applied to teach, according to British Council and IALC requirements.

Step 3: Our Director of Studies interviews the applicant teacher, to assess their teaching skills.

Step 4: We check each applicant teacher's professional references.

Step 5: We visit the applicant teacher in their home, to check that their accommodation is of a high standard and that they provide a warm welcome to their guests.

Step 6: For Young Learner teachers, we arrange police checks and other additional vetting as required.

Step 7: We construct our new teacher's profile. They are now ready to host!

InStudent: Our 10-point Quality Commitment

We send you a full proposal of your homestay teacher before you confirm, including pictures, a map, and detailed profile. We recommend, you decide.
All our EFL and MFL teachers are fully qualified to teach the language of instruction. We do not work with unqualified teachers.
Each teacher is personally interviewed by our experienced team of academic managers, and their homes inspected for high-quality facilities, before they are approved to host our students.
An experienced academic management team provides ongoing training and development, including lesson observations, seminars and development days.
All Young Learner teachers are fully vetted, referenced and police checked. We have a comprehensive Safeguarding Policy to keep tutors and students safe and secure.
We include all course materials in all our programmes.
All students receive a comprehensive pre-course assessment, continuous on-course evaluation and a detailed end of course report and course completion certificate.
We verify all students' identities before their course starts, ensuring the safety and security of our homestay language teachers.
We have a 24-hour emergency helpline which provides multilingual support to both students and teachers whenever required.
We are fully accredited by the British Council and the International Association of Language Centres.

Even before you arrive at your homestay teacher's home, your course has already begun...

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.

I love it and I’ll be back;-)

Juergen Huss

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!

Eva Caimari Caldes

Response from the owner:Hi Andy, thanks very much for the review. We're delighted you enjoyed your homestay Sweden immersion course in Gothenburg with our teacher, Ann-Britt.

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.

Catina Busi

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!

Response from the owner:Thank you, Candela - we are delighted you enjoyed your homestay English immersion course with our teacher Sonja, near London.

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

Response from the owner:Thank you, Dirk. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed your homestay French immersion course in France.

Heike G

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.

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!

crip moorey

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.

Pascal Convers

Very good training, very good teacher

Response from the owner:Thank you Pascal, we are delighted that you enjoyed your InTuition course.

Julien Seroussi

We had a nice stay in Southampton. The teachers are very good and intuition paid close attention to my needs.

Response from the owner:Thank you, Julien - it is great to hear that you had such a good time with our teacher David in Southampton.

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!)

Noelia Prieto

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.

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.

Response from the owner:We're delighted that you had such a great time with our tutor Maria, in Malta. Thank you for choosing InTuition!

Christine Bajard

InTuition has given both incredibly good and friendly service in the process of finding a tutor, and very satisfying tailored teaching. I hit the jackpot!

Response from the owner:Thank you Christine - though we would say that your success is also down to your hard work and dedication! Thank you once again for choosing InTuition.

Francesco M.F.

Esperienza negativa a causa della disorganizzazione di INTUITION che non ha comunicato come doveva con l'Host Mum sia per quanto riguarda i pasti, sia per la pianificazione delle lezioni (prima settimana non chiara e per niente seguito a livello didattico e anche per quanto riguardano i pasti); oltre alla location scomoda e troppo cara per gli spostamenti verso Londra e poco accogliente per scarsa pulizia e igiene.
Sconsigliabile la soluzione dell'insegnante in casa: non è funzionale all'apprendimento della Lingua Inglese.
Assolutamente non conforme al prezzo richiesto!

Response from the owner:Hello, thank you for your feedback on your InTuition Languages course. We are very sorry that you did not enjoy your homestay language immersion experience.

On an InTuition course, you decide both the course location and the individual teacher you wish to study with - we do not allocate you a teacher or location.

We ask students to communicate directly with their homestay teachers before the course starts, so that the first week of lessons can be planned and any special requirements accommodated. Unfortunately it seems you did not communicate with your homestay teacher before your course started, despite our best efforts to encourage you to do so.

Once again, I am very sorry that your experience was not a positive one. Please don't hesitate to contact our head office should you wish to discuss things further.
