English Language Homestay

From the moment you arrive at your homestay, you will be encouraged to speak English, whether you come with a group of friends or travel as an independent student. Your tutor and other students in the programme will communicate with one another in English throughout the experience.

By the end of this immersive journey, you will be significantly more confident in your listening and speaking skills, as this will be your primary means of communication. More importantly, we hope you will develop a passion for the language and overcome any previous inhibitions. The great aspect is that with many interesting and fun lessons and trips, you will soon forget that you are part of a homestay programme.

This unique learning environment not only enhances your language skills but also provides a rich cultural and social experience, fostering a lifelong passion for learning languages.

Our Homestay programmes are organised and planned months in advance. As some students require visas to travel, trips and outings need to be booked, the curriculum must be designed, and plans for excursions must be made, along with many other important aspects of the programme that need to be considered.

The admissions team at Oxford Language Nest carefully reviews the applications of students who have applied for a place in a Homestay programme. Based on the applicants’ English proficiency levels, ages, and interests, we select four to six students to attend a Homestay programme. This ensures that the Homestay programmes are balanced and suitable for each student, with beginners not being placed in advanced English courses.

After trying other summer camps in the UK (precisely in Eastbourne and Brighton), we experienced the Homestay with Vicky and her family, which was our best experience in the UK. 

Compared with classic summer camps, the children felt much better (healthy food and snacks were always available, as well as clean towels and hygiene products). The house was big, clean, and safe, and the environment was very friendly and focused on each student.  

They offer an immersive experience, and students practice English the entire day with a full program (morning lessons and afternoon activities) with Vicky. 

On the contrary, at summer camps, a few hours in the afternoons were free, and my children ended up spending time with friends of the same nationality. 

We are very happy to have found such a wonderful teacher and team, and we highly recommend Vicky and Oxford Language Nest for young students. It helps them develop their language skills in a natural and pleasant way, with no effort and a lot of fun.
