Our comment from StudyLanguages about Living Learning English:
Personalized One-to-One English Tuition
Living Learning English offers a distinctive educational approach centered on bespoke, one-to-one courses, available both through immersive homestays across the UK and via convenient online sessions. Led by Principal Helen Lami and continuing the legacy of founder Kate Hargreaves, the organization provides high-quality professional tuition tailored to individual learning goals. Whether students seek to prepare for university applications, improve professional skills, or simply gain fluency, the private teacher model ensures focused attention and rapid progress.
Immersive Homestay Experience
A core pillar of the school’s offering is the opportunity to live with local teachers and their families, creating a true linguistic and cultural immersion. Students consistently highlight the warm, family-like atmosphere of their host homes. From sharing meals to engaging in daily conversations, the environment allows learners to practice English naturally beyond the classroom. Hosts are frequently described as caring and attentive, integrating students into family routines, including shared activities like cooking, watching films, or simply chatting at the kitchen table. This deep integration helps students overcome shyness and build confidence in speaking.
Engaging Excursions and Cultural Activities
Learning extends far beyond lessons, with many students praising the carefully curated excursions and leisure activities. Teachers often act as guides, taking students to historical sites, museums, and cities such as London, Cambridge, and Bristol. Activities range from boat trips and museum visits to sports like cycling or football, and even social outings to local pubs or cinemas. These experiences not only make the stay enjoyable but also provide real-world contexts for using the language, helping students connect with local culture and make new friends.
Proven Academic Progress
Students frequently remark on the significant improvement in their English skills during their stay. The combination of intensive daily lessons, constant practice with natives, and personalized teaching methods leads to noticeable gains in speaking, listening, and writing proficiency. Many learners, including teenagers and adults, report advancing multiple levels in a short period. The dedication of teachers, who prepare custom materials and adapt to individual learning styles, is a recurrent theme in positive reviews, making this program a highly recommended choice for anyone serious about mastering English.

Positive experience: Добрый день. Меня зовут Елена. Могла бы я по выходным дням посещать школу и учить английский язык
Fantastic experience: Меня зовут Дарья. 16лет с Украины. Я хочу вам рассказать про самую лучшую языковую школу в которой мне пришлось побывать! Всего за две недели я получила огромный опыт общения с носителями Английского языка обучаясь и проживая в их доме. Мой преподаватель Анна Филипс педагог высшей категории .Она не только хороший преподаватель , но и очень отзывчивый и добрый человек! Ее стратегия искать индивидуальный подход к каждому студенту даёт возможность получить от курса больше чем ожидаемый результат! Это незабываемый и бесценный опыт! Проживая в ее доме, я не только проходила обучающий материал, но и закрепляла его в разговорной речи в быту , за кухонным столом и даже на прогулке с ее домашним питомцем! Мы много говорили, гуляли , ходили на очень интересные экскурсии. И самое важное я познакомилась и изучила традиции английской семьи!( Быт, кухня, праздники, вечерние просмотры фильмов в кругу семьи)))…. Отдельная благодарность менеджеру школы Ольге! Очень быстро и грамотно организовала и координировала весь процесс обучения. Была очень терпелива и отзывчива. Все волнующие вопросы быстро и профессионально! Это самая лучшая школа, которая заслуживает самых высших наград и хочется всем рекомендовать ❤️❤️❤️
Hello Daria, thank you so much for leaving such a great review. We are so pleased to know you had an amazing time and enjoyed your English language course!
Fantastic experience: I'm a french student who spent his stay at Daniela Thake house in Cottenham. These courses were very helpful for me to improve my English skills specially in debate and speaking more generally. The complaint letter and the speech were good exercises, and it will help me a lot during my life. For me 3 hours straights are a bit long, it’s better when we’re doing like 2 hours in the morning then 1 hours in the afternoon for example. It’s help me to stay focused on the lesson. The family atmosphere was very friendly and cosy. Juan and I were quickly integrated into the life of the family. Your children were very kind and specially Andrew who take us to London and Cambridge. The food is incredible and very balanced with a lot of country variety like Spain, Italia, England(obviously) and many others. The outings were very goods and it’s for me essential to acclimatise the English territory. This is where I had the most fun during the stay. Living in Cottenham is very nice because you’re close to Cambridge and London, but you are also free to go outside for a walk or running and just enjoy your free time. The garden is very nicely maintained and it’s a peaceful place to relax during the free time. The house is nice and modern. It’s clean and there is nothing that is in bad state. I truly recommend this stay for every teenager between 14 and 18, it’s a very nice experience that will improve your English skills and social skills. What's more, it will give you certain responsibilities that will help you to mature and you'll come away from this holiday feeling much more grown up.
Hello Marin, great to know you had such a successful stay with Daniela and Living Learning English!
Fantastic experience: My name is Juan Leza I am a 17-year-old boy from Spain and I spent two weeks with Daniela Thake and her children. The last two weeks have been incredible, the experience was brilliant, all the trips we had done it, all the things we had eaten and all the conversations that we had were priceless. The first day we came home the family was very friendly and each one of the members really wanted to speak with us. The first days we went to London and Cambridge, and we visited the things that Marin and I wanted to see, instead of the family deciding what we are going to visit they put as in c and give us the charge of what we wanted to do it and how we wanted. The experience at home was incredible. The variety of food we had tried from typical English dishes to pasta, salmon etc. The conversations we had we all members of the family were very kind and caring, and we learnt a lot from them, and they also learnt from us. The first days we were more with Andrew because he was our guide in London and Cambridge, the rest of the days we were more with Daniela, Emma spending time with them, with the lesson we talked about thinks that are going to be very useful for our lives. We had enjoyed a lot the big garden that they had, either with the jumping on the trampoline or our chill spots in the gazebo spent few afternoons in the garden. I will strongly recommend this kind of experiences because it isn’t just a vacation trip to visit London, it’s an opportunity for you to grow as an adult, learn English, learns as well to live without your parents and be more independent. I don’t know if I will come back the next year because I have already made plans for the next summer, but I will love to come back spend a week or two with them, maybe in another time of the year, maybe the experience is different, and I want to try it. Daniela and her family have done a lot of things for us, and we were so grateful of having them as a family. Best wishes. Juan Leza
Thank you so much Juan for taking the time to write such a great review. We are so pleased to hear you had a wonderful tim!
