If you ever wanted to study English in the south of England UK but are perhaps put off by the idea of living in a giant city like London, then the home tuition programme offered by Study & Live in your Teacher's Home could be what you are looking for. Your classes will occupy 15 hours per week and will be based on the specific types of content that you request from the teacher that you will be living within their family home.
Of course, your English practice doesn’t end when your classes do, since you will be able to converse with the family whenever you are all at home. There’s plenty to do in the town of Reading on a normal day, including a rich variety of museums, restaurants, and shopping opportunities. When the date comes around, you’ll also be able to take advantage of the hugely popular Reading Festival, if you like to enjoy live music festivals.
No matter what you’re interested in doing in your free time, your host family will be happy to show you around the town so that you can easily find what you need. Your hosts will also prepare three meals per day for you, so that’s one less thing you need to worry about during your stay.
Every Study & Live in your Teacher's Home home tuition programme has a Local Organiser located nearby, which is the agent that you will communicate even any small problems, and they will quickly make their best effort to resolve it.
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.

This option represents the most intensive course available from InTuition in Bath, on a schedule of 25 hours per week. You will work on all aspects of language improvement, including Reading, Writing, Listening and Speaking, with experienced and qualified teachers. One weakness that many language courses have is that the student doesn’t have the means to practise their speaking skills outside of the classroom, but as living with a homestay family is included in the fees for this programme, you will be immersed in an English-speaking environment.
One of the most enjoyable aspects of this course is that you will have the opportunity to get out and about in Bath on two excursions every week, for which you will be accompanied. This will allow you to get a feel for the best spots and places of interest that Bath has to offer, while letting you use your developing English skills in new and exciting situations.

The best way to book your language course!
The evaluations by students after they complete a course is excellent. The discount for using your website is also a great incentive. It also would be wonderful if the website would include more cities and a bigger selection of schools in each city.
The service of languagecourse.net is great, I booked already 3 schools and I can highly recommend it. In fact, I tell everybody I meet on my journey in South America about this website and how well everything is organized.
I am very satisfied. I found more/relevant information on your webpage than on the school's website itself. It is the cheapest offer. I'm going to book my next course on your site soon.
You're just great, doing a fantastic job. I'll be back in a couple of weeks and be booking my next stay abroad with you again (as always).
I was really surprised with your assistance to me, the service was amazing, following me on every step, thank you!
The service received has been fantastic. All doubts and issues were solved quickly and effectively. An exceptional service.
Your service was excellent . You helped me to choose exactly the right course for me .
I had excellent support with the school choice and booking. I was grateful knowing that if a problem arose, I had someone to liaise with the school and sort it out. Many thanks
Your service was excellent, really following up and holding my hand.! My older step-brother used your service a few years ago to study Spanish in Salamanca and Granada and we found LanguageCourse.Net so helpful then as well.
I genuinely rate the enrolment service five stars as it exceeded my expectations - everything that was booked worked out flawlessly, and queries were responded to with minimal delay. Ana Carolina was great - thanks!
Everything was perfect. Fast and efficient help. Kindness and support from start to finish. Thanks a lot!
Excellent support. In particular, Ana Carolina is amazing and goes out of her way to help. I have called upon Ana in the past and will do so in the future. I am genuinely grateful. Thank you Ana!
Sabine was FANTASTIC! Very complete communication all along the process!
Ana Carolina dos Santos was amazing. Always kind and available, she solved all my doubts.
Sawsan was amazing throughout the booking process. Was extremely helpful and attentive and professional.
Just keep up the good work. The organization is excellent, so that even less experienced travellers would feel ok to come to China. I also felt really good in the host family, they were really great!
