The stay with this teacher and her partner has been a very positive experience for me.
Their new house is a little bit out of the way. But they compensated it, by inviting me to their daily plans.
Additionally, they organised a lot of activities, like walking, yoga, dancing, cinema, sightseeing and sauna.
Speaking with Denise, her partner, their relatives and friends, surely improved my oral skills.
Small talk, asking questions and diskussions about difficult topics were possible, at any time
You see, it was an eventful week and I enjoyed it very much.
Thanks to Denise and Doug.

Philippa gave me the opportunity to go to the houses of Parliament with a friend, and it was an amazing experience. Unforgettable! We went to the National Gallery as well, and I liked it very much. Thank you for all the activities that you have given the occasion to share with you Philippa. It has been perfect! I rate this homestay and teaching 5 *

We feel at home in a comfortable room with a caring, sincere family. A very calm,very successful and impressive teacher who tries to contribute and teach you A place I would like to come back to.

Everything is very clearly on schedule from lessons to meals. The structure of the lessons depends on the students needs.Good excursions and a good guide. The availability of the transport was very convenient. I recommend this to everyone.

Please let me give a special thanks to Ann Ringrose, my teacher, who not only provide me a home but a guidance through the English language that nobody until now was capable. Her capacity is beyond the English teachings, she was so kind and determined that I was able to change my approach to the Language, grammar, and now I really enjoy it. Nobody will have the capacity of Ann Ringrose to transmit the love for your language as her. A great experience that without doubt I will recommend to everybody.

I really appreciated the stay and the lessons with Marie. It is a wonderful opportunity to improve your English even if you come along with a special topic such as HR.

I had a nice stay with Denise. She was very flexible and helpful. I rated the lessons, accommodation and homestay as very good.

The two weeks passed very quickly. I had a great time. Denise is very professional and flexible. The food , accommodation and excursions were good. The lessons and hospitality were very good. I would recommend Denise to other students.

I enjoyed this experience. I think that it is a good way to improve English and to have fun. I had the opportunity to discover Brighton and other parts of the region. In my opinion English lessons were really good because they are built around your needs. My English skills have improved a lot in only two weeks. I would recommend this course to other students and my English has improved a lot. *****

I had a precious experience to improve my English skills thanks to Richard Thornton and family. The accommodation, lessons and overall experience were very good. The food was perfect! My English improved a lot. I would recommend this teacher to other students. *****
