- Homestaying and language learning during one-to-one lessons are the fastest way to learn English or any other language the school offers. Being the only student, the student will not be able to speak any other language except the one that is studying - this is the most natural and effective way to learn a foreign language.
- You can choose a course from 10, 15, 20, 25 or 30 hours of individual lessons per week with an experienced teacher. The lessons are completely personalized, so the teacher will focus on what interests the students. The school teaches students of all levels from beginners to very good command of the language, welcoming participants of any age.
- The full immersion program allows you to study in the classroom and in your free time - during meals, events or everyday family communication. This is one of the main advantages of the Home Language International language program - living in a teacher’s house allows you to continue studying even after the end of the lessons.
- Teachers have higher education + at least 2 years of teaching experience and / or teacher qualifications. Each teacher is regularly visited by one of the local organizers, checks his qualifications, carefully inspects their homes.
