ACTIVITIES, VISITS, AND EXCURSIONS
On weekdays (from Monday to Friday – except when there is a bank holiday), the English tutor will stay all day long with the students he/she is responsible for. Generally speaking, mornings are devoted to English lessons at the tutor’s home or very nearby, the afternoons will allow students to discover the area and the American culture through visits, excursions, and activities, and to use the skills they are learning during their English courses.
Along with 3 hours of English instruction in the morning, students will have half-day activities that include local tours, sporting events, outlet shopping, and outdoor activities such as swimming, hiking, and kayaking. Students who choose Nacel Open Door's Tutorial Program in Philadelphia will have full-day excursions, including visiting New York City, Downtown Philadelphia, and a day at Hershey Chocolate Factory and Amusement Park.
Every evening, and during the weekends, the student will be hosted by a host family, who may host several foreign students. This will allow a deeper immersion into the local culture.
