Study & Live in your Teacher's Home
HLI’s home tuition programme gives prospective students the chance to study either English or Gaelic while living in the Irish city of Cork. You will be welcomed into your teacher’s home, where you will take 15 hours of private classes per week. All homes have been inspected as fit for purpose, and all teaching staff are qualified professionals that you can depend on to advance your language skills.
Compared to taking language classes in a school, the home tuition programme from HLI lets you have access to constant communication opportunities from both your host family and the residents of the city of Cork. This is a major university city, with three important institutions all located centrally. This means that students of all descriptions feel at home, as the city is used to welcoming learners from around the world.
You will receive three meals per day from your hosts, as this option includes full board. HLI asks guests to contact their Local Organiser staff in case they experience any issues with their course or accommodation.
