The Best of Both Worlds for mature learners is a specially developed programme for learners aged 40 plus. The course has been designed to help activate the English you already know and then build on this with new vocabulary. The main area of focus is communication and helping you improve your speaking and listening.

The learning method is simple and successful.

As sitting in a classroom everyday can be boring for some and frightening for others on this two week course you will do something different every day! The classrooms are replaced by the British Museum, Tate Gallery, English country garden or a magnificent castle. This means that learning is memorable and the experience is unforgettable.

All those taking part in this programme will have homestay accommodation (single room) with breakfast and an evening meal. In the middle weekend there will be a transfer from London to Devon and at the end of the programme there will be a transfer back to London.

At all times you will have a representative to help with any questions or problems.

All you will need are comfortable walking shoes, a notepad and an open mind!
