San Diego is a city that offers an abundance of stunning La Jolla beaches, great food, entertainment options, and much more. It’s in this context that students study English while living with their teacher in their family home, providing the benefits of immersing oneself in a combination of one-to-one classes and the experience of living in a large metropolis like San Diego.
Since this option involves 15 hours of lessons per week, you’ll be able to improve your English rapidly at the same time as exploring the possibilities that San Diego provides its residents, such as taking part in whale watching, or taking up water sports at the popular Mission Beach. You can take advantage of the city’s appreciation for music and culture by checking out their KAABOO San Diego festival. In any case, this city is large enough that there’s bound to be something for everyone - and your host family will help you learn where your essentials are.
HLI has Local Organisers working in San Diego who are on hand to resolve any issues or concerns you might have with your home tuition programme.
