School description

Learn English & live in your private teacher's home around Los Angeles with Home Language International!

Home Language International (HLI) is a family-run business offering language courses in more than 20 languages in over 30 countries worldwide, including English lessons at an experienced private teacher's home in USA. More than 5,000 students take advantage of our services every year. Ian Josephs, Danielle Josephs, their 5 adult children and an expert team of dedicated staff all put in very long hours for HLI.

You stay in an experienced teacher's family home, have one-to-one English lessons and then continue to use the language during the rest of your stay in Los Angeles. Because you are the only student, you are guaranteed individual attention. The lessons are completely designed for you, so the teacher will focus exactly on what you need. Mealtime conversation, television and social contacts are all in English.

All of our teachers in USA have a university degree (or equivalent) and/or a recognised teaching certificate. All teachers have been visited by one of our local organisers. Their qualifications have been checked and their homes throughly inspected. During your stay in Los Angeles, a local organiser will monitor your progress and make sure your experience is both happy and successful.

"Learning daily life language thanks to a total immersion in local life."

Mohamed Seghir YAHIAOUI, student from France

the program was 2h/day lesson and the rest of the time spent with the teacher : discussions, outdoor activities, meeting with other people.

The location was excellent and so was the accommodation.

The host family showed a total availability to answer my questions, to have discussions in various topics, in order to explore a wide field of vocabulary.
