A standard package includes 1 FREE ENGLISH LESSON per day lasting 1 hour. Extra hours can be booked on the bookings page. From Monday to Friday, the morning starts with breakfast, and our class usually begins after that at around 9.30am. Monday morning I will assess your English and discuss your goals. Each morning, we will have lessons and generally pause mid-morning to take Lily for a short walk whilst chatting in English. Lessons will continue after the walk (if you have booked extra hours) then we will have lunch. The afternoons are free for you to do as you wish unless you have prebooked an activity or excursion with me. If we are going on a full day trip, we won’t do sit down lessons that day. In the evening, we sit around the table together for a delicious meal (we love to cook) any time between 6pm – 8pm depending on our schedules, we encourage you to practice your English conversational skills during this time. After the meal you are welcome to relax with us and watch a film or series or you are free to do your own thing. We want you to feel relaxed and be part of our family.
At the weekend, we do our chores around the house, if it’s a hot day, we might go to a place where we can paddle with Lily or maybe go to a café and watch the world go by, you are welcome to join us or you can make your own plans at the weekend.
