Description: One-to-One Homestay, living in the tutor's home, including private room, individual and customized tuition, full-board (all meals), participation in family life and activities, cultural visits and excursions. Pick-up/drop-off at the nearest airport/railway station. A fantastic linguistic and cultural experience!!

Eurolingua One-to-One Homestay Programmes are available all year and are suitable for students of any age (16 - 75 years) and language level (beginner to advanced). Ideal for personal interest, business, travel or examination revision purposes. All Eurolingua tutors are fully-qualified teachers and native speakers, experienced in teaching their mother tongue as a foreign language.

The unique Eurolingua One-to-One Homestay Programme will ensure that you make maximum progress in the shortest possible time, whatever your starting level, beginner to advanced. You live full-board in the home of your fully-qualified foreign language tutor, receiving 4 hours per day (20 hours per week) of individual language tuition, specifically adapted to your own level, learning pace and interests, whether for business or pleasure!! The rest of the time you benefit from lots of conversational practice by participating in the usual everyday family activities of your personal tutor and family and by meeting people in the local community. You may, of course, have as much independent time as you wish. You acquire an authentic accent, total confidence and real fluency in the language.

Highlights: Learning takes place in our large private home that comprises two houses joined together (a duplex). The home is set in lush tropical garden, 8 minutes from the City by train. All public transport, parks and shops are close by. The guest section has Four Private Bedrooms. Two bathrooms, a Living room, fully equipped kitchen, dining area and a shaded outdoor patio. All rooms are equipped with ceiling fans and are well furnished, including bookshelves and a writing desk. A bedroom with a private bathroom can be arranged on request. All of our programs are tailor made to the adult learners needs. We specialise in ESP (English for Specific Purposes) catering for mature adults who have some knowledge of English already - intermediate level and above, and who wish to improve either their general English or English for their work, career change, travel or hobby.

The teaching and international guest area is on a mezzanine level over both houses, separated from our private accommodation by a door. The one-to-one teaching takes place in a teaching room that is equipped with a Computer, Video, CD player, reading material and a TV.
We have both travelled extensively and are familiar with most cultural differences, preferences and habits.

We involve all of our guests in our family and social activities, dinners and parties. Heidi provides food of a very high quality suitable for all tastes.
