Learn english in Londres with Olivier

My name is Olivier and I am a bilingual Frenchman who has been living in London for almost 30 years with my English wife, Camilla, and our two daughters (17 and 20). In addition to English and French, we also speak German. Over the past 20 years I have worked in the financial industry as a senior risk management executive.

Having experienced full immersion myself when I moved to London in 1995, I understand the challenges and know this is the most efficient way to seriously improve your English. I am a qualified TEFL teacher (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) and coach individuals wh...

This home welcomes

Capacity: 1 person

Adults (woman - man)

Couples

We only accept one student at a time (an exception can be made if they are a couple).

- Our standard homestay package includes a minimum of 10 hours a week of English lessons. If you are looking for something more intensive, we recommend 20 to 25 hours a week. Any topic can be covered and will be defined in agreement with the student. The lessons can be booked under 'cours à domicile' (General English).

- The standard package also includes two half-days of free 'accompanied' cultural visits to London. Additional accompanied/coached excursions are charged an extra 100 euros for each half-day. Recommendations and advice on places of interest will be provided.

- While most of London's museums are free, students will be required to pay for their own admission tickets to cinemas, theaters, London Eye, etc.

- The student will stay in their own bedroom and have access to a private bathroom. The bedroom has a single trundle bed with an additional mattress, turning it into a double if necessary. It is a sun-filled space due to the large window looking out towards the back garden with views of the London skyline, particularly the Shard. There are two wardrobes flanking a small fireplace, a shelving unit, a study desk, and chair. Free Wi-Fi access.

- Full-board: breakfast, lunch, and dinner are included.

Life with your host family

10 hours of English and 2 outings included
Our family home is a semi-detached Victorian house located in North West London, close to the beautiful Hampstead Heath, a 230-hectare wild park of woodland and meadows where we play tennis, run, cycle, walk, and swim in the ponds. It is ideally situated in a lively residential area (with lots of shops, restaurants, and pubs) but also very central, within 30 minutes of London's main attractions by public transport: Buckingham Palace, the National Galler...

Je voulais améliorer mon anglais grace à une immersion complète et c'est exactement ce que j'ai pu obtenir.
