Learn German with one to one lessons in the home of your teacher. By staying with a qualified German language tutor, you, your child, teenager or family group can benefit from total linguistic and cultural immersion in a friendly home environment. Enjoy a combination of structured language lessons and conversational practice in everyday situations.
A full German immersion through a teacher homestay means that whether your child is preparing for an exam or you personally are brushing up on your German language skills for a professional qualification you have access to a uniquely intensive path to progress. Your German teacher will assess your needs or those of your child and develop a personalised, one-to-one language course. So it’s not only a more targeted approach to learning but also a more economical one as there are no fees for a middleman.
And unlike a typical teacher agency, you choose the German teacher personally. Using Lingoo’s secure messaging system you can get to know your teacher first and then make all arrangements – including payments – directly with the teacher.
They will help you learn and practise German in everyday situations, in formal lessons or while indulging your hobbies. So it is always worthwhile choosing one with similar interests to your own. Some German teachers can also arrange to pick you (or your child) up at the airport or station and transport you there again when you return home.
Our German teacher profiles are diverse. Some are full-time homestay teachers while others are school teachers with availability only during school holidays. Others are part-time homestay teachers and will explain their availability on their profiles.
