Complete Immersion Homestudy student programs are monitored by resident regional organizers. These regional organizers gauge the progress of each student and are on call to solve the slightest personal problem that any students might have. If for any reason the student wishes to change the teaching family no reasons need be given. It is sufficient to say 'I do not feel comfortable' or ' I do not feel happy'. In this way, the family will be swiftly changed with no embarrassment on either side, as all teachers know that sometimes there can be a clash of personalities through no fault of either student or teacher.

Tutor 15, 20 or 25 hours per week. Students are placed in homestays for lodging and for language training. One or two students live with a qualified language instructor and learn a language in the home. Students are completely immersed in the foreign language and can take between 15 and 25 hours of instruction per week. One excursion per week chosen by the tutor but without extra charge.
All teachers have the highest possible qualifications which ensure that they are professional, and above all trained to teach. Every single teacher holds a teaching certificate recognized by their own authorities or a University degree or equivalent accepted by the private sector.
Note: If two students are studying in the home, they must have similar language proficiency.

Cultural & Social Activities:
Great emphasis is placed on learning as much as possible about the student so the best host family placements can be made. Very often, student can be placed in homes where one or more members of the host family has matching interests in activities such as golf, tennis, classical music, sightseeing, and other hobbies. Please register with NRCSA at least two months in advance of your intended program start date to ensure that the correct host family is selected to meet your requests.
If you are interested in taking part in structured activities with the host family (museum visits, excursions, etc.), please advise NRCSA.
