ABOUT OUR ROUTINE
From Monday to Friday, the morning starts with breakfast, and our class usually begins after that. I prioritize speaking activities. Once we have discussed your objectives and I have assessed your English, you get to choose a book adapted to your level so we can read it every morning and talk while focusing on your errors. There is no class at the weekend or on arrival or departure.
We have lunch together, and then we go on an activity of your choice to discover the sights, history, culture, and area, except on Friday, when we go shopping and bake brownies. There are free and chargeable activities to choose from, and we highly recommend them as Oxford is a prime film location and such a beautiful historical place. Every day, we take our small dog, Saffron, on a walk in the beautiful Oxfordshire countryside. It's an excellent opportunity for us to talk.
In the evening, we prepare freshly made food, and you are welcome to cook with us. We sit for dinner around 7 or 8 p.m. and talk about the day and the activities we did. We can then watch a film of your choice, go for a walk or play croquet in the garden. We always take our students on any of our outings.
At the weekend, we do our chores around the house, but we also go on an activity in the afternoon. When we don't have students staying, we garden, go to the cinema, attend live entertainment, or go to the theatre.
After a day or two, students usually feel very relaxed and naturally sit or play in the garden or chat with family or friends who come to visit.
Whatever our plans, you will join us as you will be part of the family! :-)
