If you’ve ever wanted to study English while enjoying all the benefits of having a friendly host family on hand, then Study & Live in your Teacher's Home’s home tuition programme in York could be the ideal way to push you towards realising your language goals. Your teacher will invite you to live in their home and deliver 20 hours of carefully designed lessons to you, all based on your specific interests and objectives.
One of the main weaknesses of a more traditional learning format is that students normally don’t continue practising outside of class hours, but with this programme, you will always be able to converse with your host family, as well as be able to ask for clarification on any doubts you might have surrounding uses of grammar, or even regarding the best bus or walking routes to take around the city of York.
One of the first things you will discover in York is its atmospheric and charming city centre, with all of its unique charm. You can expect a curious blend of cobblestone streets, the remains of the Roman walls that surround the city, shopping opportunities, popular eateries and cafes such as Bettys Tea Rooms, and the imposing York Minster at the heart of it all.
Your host family will prepare your daily meals for you, so there is no need to worry about this aspect of your visit. If any other kind of issue arises with your accommodation, the school encourages guests to get in touch with their Local Organiser, which is the nearby agent responsible for making sure that your experience with your Homestay family is going as well as you expect it to.

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!
