Take a taxi, not a bus.

Buses are great. They take people near to where they want to be, in a big group. But if you need to get somewhere quickly and efficiently – take a taxi. You get straight to where you want to be, quickly and comfortably. InTuition is your language taxi!

• 1. Be selfish. Your speed, your needs, your level

  If you are motivated to learn English but don’t have much time, then one-to-one is your solution. Group classes can be good, but they are unlikely to be focused on your precise needs. If you only have one or two weeks to make as much progress as possible, why not have a course which is tailored to be exactly what you want?

   

  2. Faster Progress

  All our students have specific goals which they want to achieve. We ensure that everything a student does works towards achieving their goals. One-to-one is the most intensive learning environment, so progress is faster. The graph below indicates the average rate of progress and is intended as a guide only. Your individual progress will depend on the intensity of your course, and your individual aptitude and motivation.

  3. Full Immersion

  A key advantage of a home stay English course is that you are immersed in the language and culture. In addition to stimulating one-to-one classes and self-study time, there are limitless opportunities to practise using the language. Make the most of being in an English speaking environment by spending time with a host family during their daily lives, and on enjoyable activities outside class that further stimulate rapid English development.

   

  4. Cost Efficiency

  Because you make faster progress in the full-immersion environment of a home stay one-to-one course, students can come for a shorter period of time. This saves time and money. Our classes are 60 minutes long, representing greater value for money.

  5. Flexibility

  Many students are looking for a personalised course, at a time which suits their outside commitments. The fixed dates of a group class may not be convenient. We offer classes every week of the year, even over Christmas and New Year, to cater to our students’ needs.

  We specialise in intensive, tailor-made English courses, delivered in the host teacher’s home. Since every student has different needs, our programmes are specifically designed for each individual student. The programmes are of very high quality and are entirely student-centred.

Our success rests on students having a first-class experience and achieving their language goals. We achieve this by matching you to the most appropriate host tutor based on you needs, interests and requirements. We know our host tutors well so personally select each one for you.

Once you have accepted our proposal we then work to make your InTuition learning experience a special one.

We pride ourselves on providing each student with a warm and welcoming reception. Students can opt for our Meet and Greet service, being collected at their arrival airport by their host tutor or our professional driver, and host tutors are provided with full information about students’ food, accommodation and study preferences in advance, ensuring a smooth start to each study programme.

Before you arrive
Students prepare for their course by completing our Pre-Course Planner and sending it to their host tutor before their course starts. Host tutors use this information to ensure they are well-prepared before students begin their programme, meaning progress is possible from day one. Students also have a Meet Your Tutor online session with their tutor before the course starts.

A personal welcome
Most students arrive for their course on a Sunday afternoon. Our host tutors will quickly make each student feel completely at home. A relaxed and comfortable environment is guaranteed.

End of Course Report
During each course, host tutors regularly assess progress to ensure that the desired progress is being made. At the end of each course, host tutors provide a full End of Course Report with guidance for future learning.

Our InTuition Online Programme service allows students to continue their one-to-one lessons online, after they finish their home tuition programme.

At the end of the course
At the end of each course, students receive an online Certificate of Achievement which can be integrated with LinkedIn to add to a CV.
