InTuition LanguagesBlackpool, England UK

School chain: InTuition Blackpool provides a language learning package with a twist! Each student learns and lives with their own personalised host tutor. Students are matched with a host tutor based on their individual learning style and language goals. This tutor guides them through their own tailor-made English course. Outside the classroom, students will follow the general pattern of the host family’s life to experience how native speakers use their English in daily interactions. There are organised activities with the host tutor that will stimulate the students' use of English in a learning environment. Students can choose from one of the following courses; General English, Professional and Business English, Exam English, academic English courses, or the Youth Learner programme.

Package: The programme in Blackpool consists of individual English classes, self-study time using InTuition’s online learning platform and a homestay living arrangement. Also included is a complementary level assessment, a 30-minute introductory virtual session with their tutor before arrival, free transfers from the local station, personalised study material and student portal access. There are regular progress reports, and at the end of the course there is a full report and an online certificate of completion. All adult programmes in England UK include two activities per week, whilst there are three weekly activities included in the Young Learner programme.

Facilities: All the host families provide students with full board accommodation, a private study bedroom and free wifi.
