Established for nearly 30 years, our private immersion language programs now boast over 2000 private teachers worldwide.

By living and studying in your own personal teacher's home, you live in the language and you can't avoid learning. As soon as the student wakes each morning, the lesson begins, from chatting over breakfast to the end of the day, just relaxing and watching TV, the language spoken is the language you are studying.

Our in-home classes are designed to help the student improve the language via communicative teaching methods. Outside of the structured classes, all conversations and activities are in the local language and your teacher will be informally instructing and correcting mistakes throughout the day.

This is a full language immersion approach, which makes this method very effective and gives the student a true insight into the language and lifestyle of their new culture.

Our teachers come from various back grounds:

> Full time professional native school teachers whom choose to host and teach international students during their summer vacations.

> Retired professional teachers who are pleased to host students year round, allowing them the chance to meet interesting people from around the world.

> Female teachers who have taken time off from teaching full time in order to raise their children or for other reasons.

All teachers are professional, interesting and kind individuals. We are excellent at matching our students with the right teacher/ family but if for any reason our students do not feel comfortable they merely inform us and we will have them moved. We also have regional organizers who monitor our families and are on call to solve any problems our students may encounter.

Given sufficient notice, we can also place the student with a teacher who has similar interests, hobbies or career background.

We actually consider the choice of family to be more important than a specific location.
