Stratford-upon-Avon, a medieval market town established in 1196, occupies a unique position in British cultural heritage as the birthplace and home of William Shakespeare, Britain’s greatest playwright. Key properties associated with Shakespeare’s life have been exceptionally well preserved so visitors can experience a real flavour of life as Shakespeare and his contemporaries would have lived it. Stratford’s beautiful setting on the River Avon in the area known as the Heart of England, its excellent shops, restaurants, tea rooms and pubs, and the fact that it is the home of the Royal Shakespeare Company, all make it a superb homestay location.

One of the many benefits of home tuition is that the student has one-to-one attention from the teacher. This is often the first time that a student has enjoyed such close attention and it allows the teacher to discover and help with any areas of language learning that the student finds especially difficult. This one-to-one attention maybe one reason why we discover quite a few young students with 'special learning needs' such as Dyslexia.
