Young Learners Courses
A Young Learners course is for young people aged 10 - 17. Students can choose when they want to come, how long they would like to stay, and the number of hours tuition per week - 15. 20 or 25. We offer General English courses, English for Exams, and Academic English. A Living Learning English Young Learners course is the ideal introduction to a longer stay in England, at school or university for example. Students will be gently introduced to the English language and culture in a sympathetic environment.
Your child's security and happiness is our priority
Young Learners benefit from a Living Learning English course because we offer your child a course specially designed for his or her needs. We guarantee constant supervision in a warm, comfortable home with a caring teacher and friendly family. All Living Learning English teachers are experienced, professional and qualified and have been thoroughly investigated by us.
An Excellent Programme of Activities
On a Young Learners course, your child will have a social programme tailored to his or her interests. Specially suited, fully supervised children's activities are undertaken with the teacher and family. We offer cultural and educational activities, such as visits to a variety of museums, working mills or farms; a wide range of sporting activities; cinema or theatre; visits to castles and historic country houses and days out to local places of interest. All costs for excursions are included in the course fees, the only money needed is a small amount of personal spending money.
You Want the Very Best For Your Child - And So Do We
As parents ourselves, we understand your worries about sending your child to England - especially for the first time. We would like to assure you that our first priority is looking after your child. We are dedicated to ensuring that the children in our care not only make rapid progress in English, but enjoy an unforgettable experience in a safe, homely, fully supervised environment. Your child will flourish under the care of one of our carefully chosen teachers.
We can arrange transfers from Heathrow, Gatwick or a local airport close to your teacher's home. We can also cater for any special dietary needs.
Lessons
The lessons will consist of a range of all skills - reading, writing, listening, speaking, vocabulary, grammar, pronunciation, and culture. At the beginning of the course, the teacher will assess your child's level of English and requirements, and plan a programme of study. Students will be assessed again at the end of the course. A full report of lesson content, achievement, and recommendations for future study will be sent to you after the end of the course, as well as your child's certificate.
The great advantage of this programme is that your child will live in the home of the teacher, so that learning doesn't stop at the end of the lesson - in every conversation the teacher is helping your child to speak English - finding the right words and correcting grammar and pronunciation.
Family Time
Time spent with the family during meals and evenings is a wonderful opportunity for your child to practise spoken English and to use the language studied in the lessons. He/she will learn as much during these times as in the lessons! The teacher is always there to talk to your child and help. During this time your child will also learn a lot about English culture and way of life. This is a valuable part of the Living Learning English experience
Young Learners 2:1
Choose a 2:1 Young Learners course (2 students with one teacher) and we can match you with a student of a different
nationality or first language. Your language learning partner will be carefully selected to match your age, interests and
level of English. This is an excellent opportunity to share your course and to make a new friend from another country!.
The Young Learners course is also available as a Crash Course.
