Dates: Standard arrival is on Sunday afternoon / evening and departure on a Saturday morning. The

Meet Your Tutor: All students receive a 30-minute online session with their tutor before the start of
their home tuition course. This acts as part of the needs analysis and also enables tutor and student
to get to know each other. If a course is split between two or more tutors, the student may have a
session with each tutor.

Two-to-one Courses: These are offered at 20% discount on the one-to-one price per person.
Students must have similar language levels. A separate rooms supplement of £80 / €105 / $100 per
week applies should separate rooms be requested.

Family English: Ideal for families who wish to study together. Depending on student levels, lessons
can either be shared or taken 1:1 in parallel. Where separate 1:1 lessons are required, we aim to
host students in two-teacher families or will arrange for a visiting tutor to teach either student as
required. Each student is charged the 2:1 rate for the relevant number of hours to be studied.
This programme is only open to families – not friends or colleagues.

visa

Visa support

We cannot apply for visas on behalf of students. However, the school can supply you with all the documentation you need to support your visa application.

If you are studying in the UK for over 11 months, you will receive a reference number called a Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) that you need to submit to the UK embassy along with your General Student Visa application. Students who have successfully booked a language course and have paid their fees will receive a CAS from IH InTuition Languages. Please note that UK law states that a CAS can only be issued to students who intend to pursue English language studies for over 11 months.

If you are studying in the UK for 11 months or less, you have to apply for a special visitor visa called a Student Visitor Visa. As a student visitor, you will not be able to work part-time while studying. If you plan to study in the UK for 11 months or less, a letter of acceptance will be sent to your home address by regular mail at no charge to you.
