The most effective option is considered to be individual tuition with a host family.  It is especially beneficial when you need more preparation before entrance exams or the beginning of term at a British school. The advantages of this tuition are an individual approach and focus on exactly what needs to be achieved in a certain time frame, whether it is preparing for an assessment, an interview or honing written English. It is also a great opportunity to practice your everyday English. In the tutor’s family, a student will have to communicate in English, as no one in the family will speak their native language.
