English courses for Juniors in the USA

This English junior course in the United States combines a homestay experience with English classes in Philadelphia in the morning and activities, tours, and excursions in the afternoon.

Improve your English language skills! Tutorial Programs offer structured ESL (English as a Second Language) learning in an intimate environment where teachers can individualize the curriculum for your unique needs. During the week, lessons are in the morning and activities in the afternoon, while evenings and weekends are spent with your host family on excursions and fun activities. 

ENGLISH COURSES
In the morning (9 am to 12.00 pm) the students work on English language skills in groups of 4 with a qualified educator, called the tutor. They use a variety of resources to improve comprehension, reading, writing, and oral communication. Throughout the program, the students receive 36 hours of English instruction. Lunches are shared with the tutor and used for conversation too.

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.
