☀️ Why Summer Is the Best Time to Learn English with ILH – Homestay Immersion Across the UK

Looking for a safe and effective way for your child to improve their English this summer? At ILH, students don’t just attend lessons — they live with native English-speaking hosts and experience full cultural immersion.

Our summer English courses for 10–17 year-olds take place in locations across the UK, combining expert teaching with a warm, family-style homestay. It’s one of the most natural and enjoyable ways to build confidence and fluency in English.

🏡 1. Live with Native English-Speaking Hosts

Students are matched with welcoming, fully vetted UK hosts who speak English as a first language. This creates a real immersion experience where students practise conversation daily — over meals, outings, and everyday moments.

  • Safe, supportive family environment
  • Shared mealtimes and cultural exchange
  • Fully supervised, with host trained in safeguarding

Homestays are available across England, Wales, and Scotland.

📘 2. High-Quality English Courses

ILH provides intensive English tuition in small group settings or via local centres — always led by professional teachers.

  • Courses for all levels: beginner to advanced
  • Focus on speaking, listening, reading & writing
  • Specialised exam prep available (IELTS, Cambridge)
  • Full progress tracking and individual feedback

The combination of classroom learning + homestay immersion makes for rapid, lasting progress.

🎒 3. Explore UK Culture Firsthand

What better way to practise English than by experiencing British life? Students enjoy outings and excursions with their hosts or group leaders, including:

  • Local towns, museums, and landmarks
  • Parks, markets, and countryside walks
  • Optional day trips to places like Brighton, Oxford, or Edinburgh depending on location

This is real-life English — used outside the classroom, every day.

👨‍👩‍👧 4. Safe, Supervised & Family-Friendly

ILH programmes are built around safety, comfort, and inclusion.

  • All hosts carefully screened and trained
  • 24/7 support and emergency contacts
  • Dietary and cultural needs catered for (halal, vegetarian, etc.)
  • Group leaders available for excursions and social events

Parents can rest easy knowing students are in caring hands throughout their stay.

🌟 5. Summer Is the Best Time to Learn

With no school distractions, summer is the ideal time for focused English learning. Students stay motivated, make friends from around the world, and return home with stronger skills — and lasting memories.

Plus, British summer offers:

  • Longer daylight hours
  • Warmer weather for outdoor activities
