The Intensive English course provides the unique opportunity for a full immersion experience, living with and being taught by your own private teacher in Ireland. You will live, speak and breathe English from the moment you arrive in Ireland. Homestay tuition really is the most effective way to learn English. You can practice your English all day long in a friendly Irish home environment with a teacher and family matched to suit your needs. An emphasis is placed here on building your confidence in speaking English. The course is intensive but varied. You will make rapid improvement in English in the shortest possible time.
You will be completely isolated from your own language. You will have no contact with other foreign students as is the case with traditional English schools where lessons and accommodation are shared and students speak their own language after class. Mealtime conversations, visits, television and social contacts are all in the English language. Living with your teacher means that you will be guided and corrected not only during the English lessons but all the times when the teacher and student are together. You won’t believe how much your English will improve.
All our teachers have either a teaching certificate “Recognised by the State” or a University Degree (or equivalent) accepted by the private sector. In addition they have all been awarded the Regency Certificate which means that the qualifications have been verified and the teachers’ homes have been thoroughly inspected.
Closer supervision is designed for under 18s. We guarantee that the host teacher or an adult member of the family is at home at all times when the student is there. This guarantee does not include activities.
Dublin is the capital city of Ireland and has a population of 1.1 million. Because of extra costs for families who live in the capital city, placements of students with host families in the Dublin region requires an additional payment.
With this option, we guarantee that you will be placed with a host family where you will have access to your own private bathroom. (This option is included in the English for Business course.)
We can arrange a transfer from the nearest airport, station or seaport to your host family. N.B. Students under 16 MUST take 2-way transfers unless we are informed that they will be accompanied by their parents on arrival and departure.
This option can be selected if you wish to stay an extra night at beginning or end of your stay with your host family. It is only available on a full board basis.

My teacher encouraged me to talk and increased my confidence. My family was very friendly so I felt included in the family.
I was completely satisfied with my experience. It’s my first time I had an English language vacation but I am sure I will have another one.
