Home Tuition

Private English Language classes in the Cork region living at the teacher's house. Can combine with sports activities and cultural excursions

Information

The full immersion advantage

The most common criticism of language schools is that students speak their own language when not in a class; this weakness is wholly eliminated with private language classes living at the teacher’s house as you are the only student.

You live and study at your teacher’s house, so there is no travelling to and from school every day.

You enjoy a private bedroom and three meals a day with your host family, receive one-to-one language lessons, and continue to use the language during the rest of your stay as you share the family’s daily life.

Mealtime conversation and social contacts take place in the language you are studying, so you never stop learning! Living with your teacher means that you have the opportunity to speak the language before, during, and after your lessons for a true full-immersion experience.

Classic language programme

It is our original and most popular programme for adults.

The Classic programme immerses you in the target language and culture.

You enjoy full board accommodation, private language lessons, and free time outside lessons & mealtimes to explore on your own or share the daily life of your host family.

Your host family will show you around the neighbourhood, local shops, and public transport after your arrival and will take you on at least 1 outing per week.

Choose from 15, 20, 25, or 30 hours of one-to-one language lessons with your host teacher per week.

You can also choose to add options such as a private bathroom, exam preparation, and sports & leisure sessions.

  • Full board accommodation at your teacher’s home.
  • 15 to 30 hours of private language lessons per week.
  • Recommended age 18+.

Language programme with activities

Our programme with activities offers you the unique opportunity to put your language skills to immediate use after your lessons with activity-based learning.

Activities may include visits to local places of interest, national parks, shopping, cooking traditional foods, afternoon tea, bowling, mini-golf, swimming, board games, etc. These will depend on the family location, local events, and your interests.

Please let us know which activities are particularly interesting to you, as this will help us select the most suitable host family.

This programme is highly recommended for those under 18s.

Choose from 10, 15, 20, or 25 hours of one-to-one language lessons with your private teacher +5, 10, 15, or 20 hours of activities per week.

Language programme with cultural excursions

We have combined your language course with trips to discover the sights and customs of the country you visit.

The cultural programme usually includes three visits with your teacher or any adult member of the family. Where there is a choice of visits, these will depend on family location and your personal preference.

All excursions are in the target language, so you’ll learn as you explore!
