InfluentRio de Janeiro, Brazil

School Ethos: Influent has fully immersion programmes that allow students to create a unique experience for themselves, whilst living and learning with their teacher. Students can choose the style of course that matches their learning style. It is possible to add a leisure activity to your package, or even personalise your course to a business programme or exam preparation course, so that you have a full programme moulded to your language learning expectation.

Location: These programmes are available around the world in Europe, Asia, the Middle East, Australia, New Zealand as well as North and South America. The cities selected are all very prominent within their countries and allow for exploring the culture as well as understanding the language.

Language: There are around 20 different languages to choose from including English, Spanish, French, Japanese, Portuguese, German, Italian, Chinese, Arabic, Dutch, Turkish, the Scandinavian languages, Czech, Polish and Hungarian, to name a few.

Course Options: The programmes come in packages of 10 hours, 15 hours, 20 hours, 25 hours or 30 hours of one-to-one lessons per week. This choice depends on how quickly you would like to learn, and how many hours a day you can study for.

Accommodation: Students will stay at the house of their teacher. This means that they will be fully immersed in the teachers lifestyle and interact with them for the whole length of their stay. The accommodation comes as a full board catering option. All your meals will take place with your teacher so that you can use the time to practise your language skills.

Extras: There are a number of extras that you can add to your stay to make your experience more comfortable. Students can select a private bathroom, a superior homestay and have a special need or diet catered for throughout their immersive experience. It is also possible to book an airport transfer or extra night accommodation to fit in with your flight schedule.
