Starting dates
Every Monday

This programme represents the opportunity to live with your teacher in their home, in this case in the rural Scottish town of Galashiels. This location is suitable for those students who prefer to live in a quiet, more community-based environment than what you can typically find in a more metropolitan setting. You will have 15 one-to-one classes every week, and you get to determine what the topics will be, since these classes are exclusively for you.

All teachers for the home tuition programme possess either a teaching certificate or a university degree that qualifies them for the position - so you can be sure that your classes will be professionally planned and carried out. Your host family will prepare your meals and also show you around the town after arrival. Galashiels is a fairly small town, but you will find it helpful to be shown where all the shops and services are that you might need during your stay.

As with every Study & Live in your Teacher's Home home tuition location, you will have a Local Organiser nearby, who is there to help you ensure that your studies and your living situation are all meeting your expectations.

With this programme, you will be completely immersed in the target language and culture. The private lessons will take place at the teacher’s home and are tailored to your needs and interests. The programme also includes accommodation in a private bedroom (Sunday to Sunday) and 3 meals per day with the teacher’s family.

You can customise your stay by booking additional lessons, activities, courses for specific purposes, private bathroom, accommodation of superior standard, airport transfer and close supervision for young students.

In 2024 many schools were fully booked during the holidays, and the situation is unlikely to be different for 2025 due to a current shortage of teachers, which affects most schools.
