English Language Homestay Courses for Children & Teenagers:

We offer summer holiday English language homestay courses for juniors (children and teenagers) of all levels from beginner to advanced. 

Students who learn English in their summer holidays are assured of an unforgettable 'English Language Experience'.

We ask students to complete a needs analysis and diagnostic test before arrival in the UK so that we can assess their level and design an individual one-to-one English language course especially for each student.

We focus on improving students weak points and developing their strong points by providing them with the 'Total English Language Experience'.

- One-to-one total immersion English language courses are suitable for juniors who would like to improve their English language skills in a fun & friendly environment during their holidays.

- Heritage English tutors arrange a programme of lessons, excursions and activities to match students’ interests so that young learners are having fun and learning English during their stay.

- Students stay in the home of their tutor or in friendly family homes nearby.

- We place younger homestay students (12-15 years) with carefully selected English host families who are experienced in looking after young people.

- Total immersion means speaking & listening to the English language in formal tuition and social situations 24 hours a day.

-  Language learnt is used immediately by exposure to a variety of media and resources such as newspapers, radio and television.

- Students have the opportunity to visit a British school or college and make new English speaking friends.

- There are a wide range of sporting and leisure activities that students can combine with their homestay course, with many cultural activities available, as well as sporting activities.

Courses start with students arrival on a Sunday and departure on a Saturday. Students can choose between 15 and 20 hours of formal tuition per week. 60 hours of corrected conversation practice per week is included.

All course materials are provided, and each student has a personal study file. A personal audio cassette is made during lessons, which provides a vital record of language learned in lessons and should be used for revision after the course.

Benefits of Homestay with a Local English-Speaking Family:
Staying in a host family is the only way that you can really experience, learn about and enjoy a truly authentic British lifestyle. We are very careful to match students with the right host families.

We take into consideration the age, interests and needs of students to provide them with the best English language course both in and outside of formal lesson time.

Young students require a safe, secure and suitable home environment to develop their English language skills – this is one of our main priorities when hosting homestay students.

Students have the opportunity to meet British teenagers of the same age in their host families or in activities that they will take part in during afternoon hours so that they are using English that they have learnt during lessons in a real environment.
