Programmes

We organise your language trip according to your specific goals, taking into account your current language level, availability and budget.

Forget the “standardised” programmes on offer in the language learning market.

Here are our programmes:

“Platinum” courses:

An exclusive programme run by Swiss Interglobe, tailor-made for its most prestigious clients! Accommodation and lessons are based in an exceptional setting that combines luxury and authenticity: Gleneagle Hotel – Scotland, GB, Soho Farm House – Oxfordshire, GB, Heckfield Place – Reading, GB, Ashford House – Ireland.

The lessons are designed and run by English teachers with the highest reputation and are delivered one-to-one or in small groups. Cultural, sporting and culinary activities play a key part in the language course. Whether it’s a dinner hosted by a starred chef, regional trip, falconry lesson, horse ride or round of golf, everything is focused on practising your English.

It’s incredible how effective this teaching format is, allowing learners to really get stuck in with new cultural discoveries while perfecting their language.

Individual lessons at the teacher’s home:

Total immersion from breakfast till dinner!

These lessons are held at a qualified and experienced teacher’s own home.

The teacher will deliver a general or professional language course depending on your needs and expectations. Learning also goes on outside of the lesson since the learner takes part in the daily life of their host.

This personalised learning format is remarkably effective because it is tailored not only to your requirements but to your own pace of learning.

It’s an incredible way to gain perfect mastery of a language.

The lesson frequency and intensity varies from 15 to 30 hours per week.
