InTuition Languages Mexico City, Mexico

School chain: InTuition Mexico City 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 Portuguese course. Outside the classroom, students will follow the general pattern of the host family’s life to experience how native speakers use their Portuguese in daily interactions. There are organised activities with the host tutor that will stimulate the students' use of Portuguese in a learning environment. Students can choose from one of the following courses; General Portuguese, Professional and Business Portuguese, Exam Portuguese, academic Portuguese courses, or the Youth Learner programme.

Package: The programme in Mexico City consists of individual Portuguese 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 Mexico 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.

Learning methodology: InTuition’s teaching methodology follows an individualistic approach which focuses on each student’s individual language goals and speed of assimilation. There is greater personal interaction between the student and teacher, building self confidence and allowing students to learn at their own pace.

Tutors: All host Portuguese tutors in Mexico City are interviewed to make sure that they are able to provide a high level service for students.
