I have several years of experience helping our students with their English studies and can offer to do some work in the mornings. I focus on basic grammar and common vocabulary to build confidence.
I also use some resources from a teaching site called Twinkl which has age-appropriate work for your child to do and help them on their English language journey. If you have any queries on any paid activities please do not hesitate to contact me. We aim to have a varied week with the children and to have lots of fun throughout your stay. I will schedule free activities also throughout the week. Some sports camps subject to availability up to 14 years of age. Please message me in advance to secure a booking for any camp and make sure your child is eligible.

Full Immersion Guaranteed

The host family optionally guarantees that there will be no other people speaking the same language during the stay.

We are regular visitors to the cinema, which is 15 minutes away in Liffey Valley shopping center; there is also an amazing bo...
