Meet your host family: Caroline in France

Immersion English on the Vendee coast with 2 English (university) teachers. Tailor made lesson plans. Ideal for prepa students and others looking for intensive lessons.

Caroline and Karen: we are an active couple who love making the most of the beautiful Vendee coast and countryside. We are just a few minutes from the local beach, where we do various water sports, as well as run and walk the dogs. We are both currently working as teachers for Nantes university, private clients, local community groups and the CCI, as well as hosting immersion students.

We have a warm and welcoming home with lots of animals, in a beautiful area.

Your English immersion experience :
A typical day with us

A relaxed morning allowing for breakfast and conversation followed by the first lesson of the day. Optional walk with the dogs in the local area (either to the beach or local countryside), using 'walk and talk' to practice oral skills. Lunch can then be prepared together (if wanted), and a sit down and discussions while eating together.

Some 'free time' in the afternoon where the student can either have some time to themselves (to study for example, if a Prep student), or get involved with activities (depending on season and weather). We are an active couple and can offer sports such as running, paddleboarding, kayaking, cycling etc.

Late afternoon will be the second lesson, tailored specifically to the students needs or requests. Lessons are interactive and varied.

Then dinner (we can adapt to dietary requirements). On a week's stay we will try to have at least one dinner with English speaking friends, to offer an opportunity to talk in a group, with different accents and nationalities.

Evenings can be spent playing games, watching English movies, spending time with friends or just relaxing. In summer months other activities may be possible (Walks, trips to the beach, visiting local seasonal events etc). All bookings must include a lesson package. We do not offer immersion only experiences. Minimum of 10 hours of lessons.

Accommodation will be either in the dependence (during summer months) or in a bedroom in the house (in colder months).

Paid options organized by the family

Lessons are interactive and adapted to the student’s learning style. They will be carried out by both Caroline and Karen (at different times), giving you the benefit of two current language teachers' expertise. We will begin with short assessments to identify the learning needs and adapt the lessons to improve those areas. If you have any specific requests or areas you would like to work on, just let us know and we can prepare lessons based on your wishes.

We can also incorporate lessons into activities such as cooking, gardening, walk and talk, town visits, etc.

Packages can be arranged to suit students' needs; we are happy to discuss this with you in advance. The more lessons booked, the cheaper the hourly rate.
