Tailored to the participant's needs
Students train to gain experience and acquire language skills at a high level. Teachers motivate students to reach their full potential and set goals for each student, evaluating their progress regularly. This helps learners exceed their personal expectations and achieve more than they thought possible.
Individual tuition provides a personalized learning experience. Throughout the day, students work with various tutors who adapt their teaching style to ensure the students become confident speakers of the second language.
The course exposes learners to authentic sources from different professional topics, sparking their curiosity
and introducing them to different language styles, new vocabulary, and structures. Students debate, discuss,
and analyse these sources, leading to increased confidence, fluency, and improved critical thinking skills.

Accommodation
Staying in a homestay gives participants the chance to be fully immersed into the local culture of the destination, whilst also being able to practise the language in a relaxed and natural setting. Many homestays have been welcoming our students into their homes for many years, offering their hospitality and expanding our students cultural horizons. Homestay arrivals are on the Sunday before the course begins, and departures are on the Saturday after the course ends.
For students who prefer an alternative to homestay accommodation, a limited number of places are available in college residence. These places are subject to availability.
The experience of living in Cambridge
Cambridge is home not only to one of the world’s great universities, its iconic buildings and colleges peppering the old town, but also to the dynamic high-tech hub sometimes known as ‘Silicon Fen’ (Microsoft Research, Amazon, Apple, ARM, CSR, Autonomy and several thousand more), and the largest biomedical campus in Europe.
The result is a rich mix of students and professionals, and an ambience of tradition, scholarship and innovation. The town is host to a myriad of cafes, restaurants and pubs (including The Eagle, in the front room of which Crick and Watson demonstrated the first model of the double-helix structure of DNA in 1953), and to innumerable buildings of great historical and architectural significance, such as King’s College Chapel, the Wren Library, the Mathematical Bridge and Trinity Great Court.
Compact, green and beautiful, the city is dominated by the historic university buildings and bound by the lovely River Cam. It offers a unique ambiance, where the charm of tradition blends with the conveniences of modern urban life. Cambridge is a prime location for committed English language study.
