Often students decide that living with English Language teacher and having lessons in the tutors home is a perfect option. Certainly, they have the undivided attention of the teacher and no disruption from other classmates on the teacher’s part this means preparing lesson plans to respect the student’s learning styles. Immersion English course in an English Language homestay is the way to go. English Language Homestays offers homestay programs for adults.

On the part of the teacher this also means that there is a greater understanding of any linguistic problems that the student may have and these will also become apparent during private tuition especially with younger students who may find the teacher can home in on their strengths and weaknesses quickly.  This can also be a great way for a student to improve their language skills in the form of fast track learning with the full attention of the teacher, focusing on their strength and improving their weaknesses during the lesson.

English Teaching for individual students helps with their language styles, students especially those who may make mistakes in English in front of other students equally students may find it more encouraging being alone with a teacher without the support of friends who can help out if they don’t know an answer.

For teachers hosting a one to one homestay English get to know their students, they will find the things that really really interest them and the things that they feel really passionate about also the things that are really boring and make them loose interest. When teachers are in the classroom don’t have a lot of flexibility when it comes to lesson topics.  When teaching individual students they can usually choose materials and topics that appeal to their students.

When teachers are teaching younger students they need to have fun in the classroom and as soon as they start fidgeting or getting bored some interesting quick games need to be introduced. For adults or more advanced student just having a short break or a chat about relevant news issues will refresh them and help them feel relaxed and ready to continue with the lesson. Language homestay helps in that aspect.

Having a student on a one on one basis means that the teacher can use more internet based material and interactive English. Teachers however should still be aware of the time management and keep an eye on the time and have plenty of material on hand.

When teaching private English lessons for adults sometimes the teacher will have to teach business English to advanced students so time should be taken to research the subject matter so as to better be able to assist the student in their learning.

• Although the lessons can be fast track English the student should not feel rushed and care should be taken not to rush through work when the student is reading an article or finishing a worksheet – it can feel strange as a teacher not to have other students doing something and you can sometimes feel like you are slacking or wasting and ESL lesson. The best thing for the teacher to is to relax and ensure that they are doing their best to help the student improve.
• Timing also is easier on a one to one as the student and teacher can work to their own time limits and if a lesson runs longer than intended the teacher can then adjust the following day’s lessons to suit. In a classroom situation this would not be possible because of time restrictions on a large group.
• Some homestay teachers are also worried about having enough material for a one to one situation and lesson plans must be written taking into account that time must be allowed for the student to work alone and not be rushed.
• Homestay teachers should also be aware of keeping the subject interesting as there are no other students in the class to enable things to be discussed in a varied way and efforts should be made to find interesting subjects or projects.
