Maureen creates a personalised English language study course for each student, set at the correct level – elementary, intermediate or advanced – and clearly focused on the key areas chosen by the student. For example, one student may want intensive practice of speaking and listening skills, while another may wish to improve his or her grammar, pronunciation or writing skills. Maureen’s specially designed one to one home tuition sessions produce excellent results in whichever English language skills most need attention.

The Homelingua experience also has the great benefit of offering students total immersion in the English language during their stay, with plenty of opportunities for conversation practice and the use of everyday English outside lessons. Students find themselves joining in mealtime conversation, going on shopping trips and sharing social occasions in a very natural way. The combination of intensive one-to-one home tuition and extensive exposure to real spoken English enables students to make excellent progress in their English language and communication skills in the shortest possible time. It also offers a warm and in-depth experience of British culture and traditions.
