InTuition Online Programme (IOP) - 20 hours

This was my first English home tuition experience and it was really great. Debbie made herself available for me at all times and she was very helpful. We did several different activities and lessons were interesting and diverse. I feel I have made progress but I should have stayed longer. Debbie's family was also very friendly and I really enjoyed spending time with them. They made me feel very comfortable.

I liked the classes very much. I learned a lot. The family was just great.
They accepted me as a family member from the beginning. The activities were very interesting and the food was nice.

I liked the teacher's home a lot. I had my room on the highest floor of a typical narrow English brick house. My own bathroom was just opposite. I could study in my room that had a window with a garden view. The house was in a suburb of London not too far from the city centre.

The host was quite a good teacher. Unfortunately, she didn't correct my mistakes very often. She helped me to go through all the example tests for the CPE. Unfortunately, I missed the test because of my essay. It was a mistake that we didn't practice the writing with the English keyboard and within a time frame.
However, my score has been accepted in order to get my teaching degree for Secondary School in Switzerland. That was my main aim for which I did this intensive week with InTuition.

Personally, my teacher was a little bit dry. Even though I had family access, my host wasn't very happy to talk with me after the official teaching hours. For that, I felt a little bit embarrassed and therefore I didn't feel completely welcome in this house. After having told this to my adviser though, things became better.

Dollis Hill, the district where I lived in, was perfect. I had a gym in the neighbourhood, a park to do some jogging, and the metro station was just a five-minute walk away. This couldn't have been better.

All in all it was a good but tough week! I would do it again!

We (my wife and me) found what we expected. The two-to-one experience allowed both (students and teacher) to select classes and subjects according to our needs and expectations. We stayed in two different teachers’ homes (2 weeks each) and we got very much from the daily contact in addition to the formal classes time.

We definitely recommend this approach for senior students. We also enjoyed staying at our teacher's home because we knew and understood a lot about the British culture.

The teacher was great and a very good person. She and her family were very kind with me and she has been very aware that I was fine. The food and housing were excellent.

In my opinion, the house was far from the city center. I didn't have much choices to meet and interact with younger people.

Watching movies, reading, and a lot others are things that I was able to do in Spain.

In general, it was good.
