Dates: Standard arrival is on Sunday afternoon / evening and departure on a Saturday morning. The
first lesson is on Monday, unless otherwise requested.

Meet Your Tutor: All students receive a 30-minute online session with their tutor before the start of
their home tuition course. This acts as part of the needs analysis and also enables tutor and student
to get to know each other. If a course is split between two or more tutors, the student may have a
session with each tutor.

Two-to-one Courses: These are offered at 20% discount on the one-to-one price per person.
Students must have similar language levels. A separate rooms supplement of £80 / €105 / $100 per
week applies should separate rooms be requested.

Family English: Ideal for families who wish to study together. Depending on student levels, lessons
can either be shared or taken 1:1 in parallel. Where separate 1:1 lessons are required, we aim to
host students in two-teacher families or will arrange for a visiting tutor to teach either student as
required. Each student is charged the 2:1 rate for the relevant number of hours to be studied.
This programme is only open to families – not friends or colleagues.
