In the teacher's home
Living in your teacher's home allows you to practise the language in first-class conditions. Since compatibility is very important for guaranteeing the success of the course, you will be asked to fill in a questionnaire concerning your preferences, interests and possible requirements to enable us to find the ideal teacher for you. You will be staying in a single room (or double if you choose the one-to-two option). On request and at a charge, you may enjoy a private bathroom.
Make the most of your free time to discover your host country independently. Whether you like sport, cultural visits, excursions or have a specific hobby, you are free to plan your leisure time as you wish! In full immersion in the English language, you will further explore the local culture and multiple attractions of Scotland day after day. According to your wishes and the availability of your teacher, the latter may offer you activities and excursions geared towards your personal interests.
