TUTORS OF SIMILAR AGES
We find our mature students prefer to learn with a tutor of similar age with similar interests. Therefore, wherever possible, we try to match you to a tutor that achieves this. As a homestay student you will be staying in your tutors’ home and after lessons you will have the opportunity to continue to practice your English over meals or an afternoon walk. We also ensure you have some private time to read; relax or explore the local area yourself.
You can also be sure that our Tutors are well rounded individuals. Have excellent teaching/TEFL qualifications. Able to converse generally about a variety of subjects and have good local knowledge. Their homes have been inspected by us and are of a suitable standard for adults. Often private bathrooms are available.
