Home Lessons Ireland
PLEASE CHOOSE A PROGRAM :
DESCRIPTION :
Living in the teacher's home and getting private lessons is the only language learning system which prevents the student from speaking his/her mother tongue after class and thus destroying a great part of what he/she has learnt. The one-to-one lessons are the whole key to rapid learning. Students will have the unique opportunity to be in a full immersion experience, to live with and be individually taught by their own private teacher. This one-to-one program is very intensive. We offer French, English, German, Italian, Japanese and Spanish individual lessons.
COURSE METHODOLOGY
Learn at your teacher's home! Each student is hosted by a private native teacher. This teacher has a further education diploma which might not be only languages. The methodology used during the Home Lessons is always supervised by a local coordinator. The one-to-one Home Lessons will cover the 4 basic skills of the language learning process : oral and written comprehension, oral and written expression. Because the teacher is also in charge of the accommodation, the Home Lessons program offers the unique opportunity of a full integration. The minimum level required is intermediate. The student should indicate his/her level in the language studied.
