The West Country stretches from Bournemouth in Dorset to Land's End in Cornwall - the westernmost point in England. Famous for its gentle pace of life, beautiful cities, and excellent food and drink, the region has inspired some of world’s most famous writers. Jane Austen drew on her experiences of life in Hampshire to write some of her famous classics, and Dorset was the location that inspired Thomas Hardy to write his most celebrated novels. The region is also famous for its cider – many local breweries offer tasting sessions, which are not to be missed! Devon and Cornwall are popular tourist destinations for people from the rest of the UK, with their stunning coastlines, windswept moors (home to a large population of wild horses) and pretty villages. Cornwall in particular retains a distinct identity from the rest of England: it even has its own language, Cornish, which you can sometimes hear spoken. The county is steeped in legend by the Celtic myth of King Arthur: visit Tintagel, traditionally considered to be the famous Camelot of legend.
We have host tutors available in Bristol, Bath, Cheltenham, Torquay, Exeter, Plymouth, Cornwall
Firstly I would like to say that I improved my English a lot.
The classes were intense and cool at the same time. We did many types of exercises and with everyone done I knew more.
The teacher was really nice and I liked her. We talked a lot on various subjects.
I also liked the location, because it was sea near and it wasn't so big city to be so crowded but enough big to see some interesting things.
Every afternoon we were doing something, sometimes we going for a walk, sometimes we were visiting some interesting places and sometimes we were playing games.
The house was good and I had there everything that I needed.
I liked everything except weather
I liked the classes with Heather so much, very flexible, with many resources (books, videos, podcasts, websites) to complete the lessons. Location was also good. A nice place to visit the countryside and nice people.
