Overview

Join our English Speaking courses to see some of the most beautiful places in Scotland. You will stay with our teachers in a private house in a green area just outside Edinburgh. You will be in small international group (max 7 people) which will give you a chance to practice your English for the whole course.

Each day we will have breakfast at home then go out to discover wonderful nature spots, historical cities and local culture. We always take lunch out with us so it can be enjoyed with great views and fresh air. In the evenings we'll make a home cooked meal and then play some fun games.

As well as all the places listed on our itinerary we have many more exciting surprises, treats and small trips.

We recommend a minimum level of B1 English to get the most out of this course. Our native speakers will always be there to help you throughout the course. The course is also flexible so you're welcome to enjoy some free time or suggest places you would love to visit.
