Private lessons and homestay with the teacher's family. Flexible scheduling: duration, dates, and transportation Ages 15 and up 

With a "one-on-one" program, the student enjoys full immersion in a host family while receiving private lessons from a family member who is a certified teacher. The student will thus be able to improve their German skills through 3, 4, or 5 hours of daily private lessons from Monday through Friday. Staying with a teacher is an ideal way to make rapid progress in both written and spoken German.
