J'ai adoré mon immersion à Edimbourg: mes hôtes étaient adorables, j'ai beaucoup parlé anglais, j'ai appris beaucoup concernant le vocabulaire et la grammaire, mes hôtes étaient d'excellents cuisiniers, leur maison est très proche du centre-ville, ma chambre était confortable et Edimbourg est une jolie ville. Je recommande vivement les immersions à Edimbourg d' Intuition Languages!

I spent two weeks in Nicé at the teachers home with Pierre as my personal tutor. It definitely exceeded all my expectations! I was fully integrated in the family and this made it a full immersion experience. Pierre and his wife are really great hosts and I learned a lot! Looking forward to the next time I can go!!

I booked a week homestay in June 2022 in Vancouver, Canada. I had a great overall experience!My European agency went through InTuition Languages.In this time of Covid I thought it would be safer to have a cancellation policy through my own country. However, I would not recommend it. Do not hesitate to contact InTuition Languages agency directly. They seem to have good contacts with very good and dedicated teachers. I was also impressed by the availability and attention of my InTuition contact in the US. She contacted my host and I several times to make sure everything was going well.My host was very welcoming, attentive and a very good English teacher. She also made sure I could rest and have my own space. We did specific English exercises to reinforce my weaknesses. She shared with me part of her daily life. We met several friends of her during walks and dinners. She planned several activities taking into account my wishes, my level of English, my age and my interests.Don't hesitate to take the cheapest option, anyway you will be doing activities and classes on a daily basis.I will definitely keep good memories of this part of my trip to Western Canada!

I worked for Intuition Languages for 10 years. I found the language school to be well run, thorough and able to adapt to changing circumstances. The support for teachers was excellent, with valuable training sessions offered and good resources available. This is a language school which operates ethically, which moves with the times and which provides a great experience for both students and teachers. Thank you Intuition. It has been a pleasure working with you.

I'm very satisfied with my experience at Nick's home. He and his wife were very kind and welcoming. The bedroom and bathroom were perfect for my needs and also the location of the house, 15 minutes walk from the City center. The quality of the food -in spite of my concerns-was also excellent (in my previous experience in UK the Food was really bad). I also found it very useful to have a TV in my room because in the evening I could easily watch programs with subtitles

I sent a student of mine to do a 1 week homestay with Intuition and she was really happy with the whole experience. She said the family she stayed with were great and was very impressed with the organisation in general. As my students and I are based in Spain, I'm always on the lookout for top quality courses in Ireland and the UK which I can recommend, so it's good news for me too.

I spent a great, unforgettable week in Bray with Mary and her family. Mary is a very nice and joyful person as well as a very competent and demanding teacher. She helped me to improve my pronunciation, my grammar and my writing. We spoke about culture, history, books and everyday life. It was a very intensive and helpfully week for me and I could "feel" my improvement everyday. I have learned a lot and I can say that a one-to-one course was exactly that I needed.Dear Mary thank you very much for everything, for the time you spent with me and also for the very tasty meals you made for me. I would also like to thank your husband - Henry for his beautiful and interesting stories.

J'ai passé une très bonne semaine à Londres chez Alina. L'accueil a été très agréable au sein de sa famille et a participé à une véritable immersion dans la culture britannique. De plus, la famille était située non loin du centre de Londres. Les cours d'anglais étaient variés, adaptés à mon niveau et aux besoins que j'avais exprimé en amont.

Dear all,I am sorry to replay late.Anyway , the course at teachers home which I was attended, was wonderfull experience for me. You found for me excelent teacher Naomi, with whom and her family I got on well.Naomi is the excelent teacher she led me and helped me to improve my english skills, especcially grammar. I lost my fear of speaking. That is great for me.We had a lot of fun, because we are interested at same hobby and activity.Thanks Naomi I made progress every day.She used to arrange the meeting with her friends almost every afternoon, where I practiced my english 🙂 We visited London twice. We were in Modern Tatoo gallery where we enjoyed Pablo Piccasso excibition. Then we had a sightseeing. Next time I was alone in London , I used hop in hop on bus to see as much as possible from London.Naomy's house is situated in Richmond, one of the beutiful borough in London . There are plenty of parks, where I used to go relaxing after mornings lessons. There is also beatiful th botanical garden The Cew. We visited that peaceful place with Naomi. Exciting trip was for me visiting Hampton Court. We lost in the maze :)))) there wich is including Hampton Court.The best experience was The Globe Theatro, where Naomy and me enjoyed Shakespears's Hamlet!!!!Thank you Naomi for all.I hope we will see agin next year.Michaela

Mia figlia di 14 anni ha detto di aver fatto un esperienza fantastica nel programma j2j insieme ad una ragazza spagnola. Ha trovato una famiglia accogliente e una location incantevole. Quando siamo andati a riprenderla l'abbiamo trovata più matura non solo nelle competenze linguistiche ma anche nell'atteggiamento relazionale. Abbiamo conosciuto l'insegnante e abbiamo potuto notare la passione, la professionalità e la serenità con cui svolge il suo lavoro, elementi indispensabili per ottenere questi risultati. Qualità che abbiamo incontrato anche nel personale della scuola responsabile dell'organizzazione dell'esperienza: sempre pronti a rispondere ad eventuali dubbi e problematiche cercando di venirti incontro; e soprattutto parlando nella tua lingua madre!Assolutamente da consigliare!

I've lived unforgettable moments during my stay (3 weeks) in Edinburgh, amazing city with a lot of history and many beautiful places. I was very lucky to be in a lovely house of Ken and Mio. Ken is an excellent teacher with a rich culture and good sense of humor. Mio is a warmhearted and cultured woman with a very positive attitude. The both make you feel at home. My lessons were adapted to my needs in English, daily conversations and various activities helped to improve my comprehension, grammar skills and pronunciation. Many thanks to Ken and Mio and to InTuition Languages for this experience.

Ich hatte einen 6-Wochen-Kurs "General Business" als Einzelunterricht gebucht und diesen in 3x2 Wochen unterteilen lassen. Untergebracht war ich bei 3 Familien im Süden Englands. Jede Gastfamilie war auf ihre eigene Art eine Bereicherung für diese Zeit und die Lehrer hätten unterschiedlicher nicht sein können. Genaus das machte ein Lernen auf allen Ebenen "Sprechen, Lesen, Hören und Schreiben" möglich und bescherte mir nicht nur eine tolle Erfahrung, sondern auch einen entsprechenden Lernerfolg. Als "Advanced Student (C1)" habe ich Facetten der englischen Sprache kennengelernt, die mir so noch nicht bekannt waren. Ich kann InTuition auf jeden Fall empfehlen. Die Betreuung ist vollumfänglich und wirklich ernst gemeint. Inwieweit man Lernerfolg hat, liegt natürlich auch an einem selbst. Meine 6 Wochen waren eher eine "challenge" und weniger "holidays". Zusammenfassung: Top Lehrer, Top Schule, entsprechender Forschritt...was will man mehr.My view after 7 months back in Germany:I am very happy to say that lessons with you have given me confidence in speaking English. That led to a lot of business trips in last months and at the end to a new job within Vattenfall group.I am very happy to say that I am now "Head of Controlling Sweden" within our Business Unit Nuclear Decommissioning. I usually spend three days a week in Sweden (speaking English) and the rest in Germany. I am currently running a department of three employees with growth potential up to ten people.All of you have played an important role in that promotion. Thank you very much indeed!By the way @Paul/David: I am very interested in Brighton & Hove Albion. I hope they will play well in premier league

Very good intensive week in teacher's home in Edimbourgh. Just put 4 stars because being alone was not (for me) as fruitable as classrooms . Nether the less I improved well and enjoyed this experience. My host C.L is a very kind personn, implicated and a very good cooker 🙂

One of the best experience I ever had!My general immersion course was a big success due to the intense interaction with my Professore Michael G. in Deal.The aim of my course was to improve my ability to understand the conversation, to speak more easlyand to get better my pronunciation.His patience, his ability to explain, and of course the pleasent conversations in the evening with his wife Susan have allowed this.I believe this is the most effective way to improve my English skills and i will come back again (when I will have more free time).Great thanks to Michael and his family and friends for this experience.I definitely recommend this course for young and not only young students!Eugenio

Sprachkurse, die man bei InTuitionLanguages buchen kann, sind eine großartige Erfahrung, sie machen Freude und bereichern jede Reise. Die Kurse sind individuell auf die jeweiligen sprachlichen Verbesserungswünsche und beruflichen Anforderungen abgestimmt, die Lehrer/innen sind sehr freundlich und entgegenkommend und bieten einem einen tollen Einblick in verschiedene Lebensstile in England, den man sonst so nirgendwo bekommen kann. Ich nahm bereits dreimal an einem Sprachkurs teil und kann daher InTuition Languages nur wärmstens empfehlen.

I appreciated their communication papers before my tuition stay: they were complete and understandable and gave me all the information I needed to prepare my trip. They also have a wide range of teachers which helps choose the location freely. On the downside, they have a very strict cancellation policy: I was disappointed I couldn't make any changes to my trip without losing the deposit even though I asked for them with 6 months advance to the booking date!

Für mich war dies genau die richtige Art und Weise mein Englisch zu verbessern! Ein Gruppenkurs war für mich nicht vorstellbar, da ich einen auf mich persönlich abgestimmten Intensiv-Kurs gesucht habe. Mit Megs K. in London habe ich auch eine großartige Lehrerin gehabt, sie war sehr bemüht mir auch außerhalb des Unterrichts möglichst viel von "ihrem" London zu zeigen. Es waren ein Theaterbesuch und natürlich auch ein Pub-Besuch dabei. Dieser Sprachkurs war für mich eine große Bereicherung und ich habe bereits den nächsten im Sommer gebucht - diesmal auch etwas länger :-)Michaela aus Wien

I had a great week in Dublin. Paula was very professional. I'm an English teacher in Italy and I needed to practise my English. She helped me to improve my pronuciation, we spoke about culture, music and everyday life. I also met nice people there and I enjoyed visiting the city. I went to the theatre and I saw a wonderful musical. Paul invited me to spend a day with her collegues. I met her friends too. I think that all the Dubliners are very nice and kind.

Michael was my tutor for two weeks and I have to say I am very satisfied about my progresses. My aim was to reach a higher fluency mainly in speaking and this goal has been reached totally. He is an attentive and conscientious teacher, which has a deep passion for teaching. I would highly recommend Michael to everyone. Thanks to Intuition and to Michael for the amazing experience.

Madame L.C. n' a pas les compétences pédagogiques minimales en matière de communication en langues. Par ailleurs , dans les faits , les conditions matérielles n' incluaient pas la pension complète, et l'activité partagée de la semaine s'est résumée à une ballade d'une heure sans paroles.
