English Language Teaching

 

David and Tammy Heathfield each have nearly twenty years experience teaching English to speakers of other languages and we each hold the RSA/Cambridge Diploma in English Language Teaching.

 

We provide intensive individual homestay courses in our warm and friendly family home combining expert English tuition with a full-immersion experience of British culture in the historic university city of Exeter in the beautiful South West of England.

 

We personally meet you from Exeter Bus Station, Exeter Railway Station or Exeter International Airport. A meeting service at London Heathrow Airport can be arranged at an extra charge.

  • We are highly experienced in the fields of General English, Business English, English for Specific Purposes, English for Academic Purposes, Teacher Education as well as preparation for exams including IELTS, FCE, CAE, CPE, BEC and TOEIC.
