Travelling to the UK is a fantastic opportunity for you to experience life and the English language in an English-speaking country. Your learning experience inside the classroom is important but your whole programme will be something you remember and benefit from for the rest of your life, making lifelong friends along the way.
At LTC we use our 25 years of experience to make sure you get the maximum benefit from your time here in England. Our courses are designed to increase your knowledge, extend your fluency, enlarge your vocabulary and improve your understanding as you become immersed in the language and culture of the UK. Your confidence will increase and you will see the improvement in your language skills.

Living in Homestayfeeling safe, comfortable and welcome at all times is a key factor in getting the most from your stay in England.
To use your English and experience UK culture we recommend living with one of our carefully chosen homestay providers.
All three schools have homestay close to the schools - on average 15-30 minutes’ walk or a short bus ride. Some are much closer as the schools are all located very near residential areas. Please note that in peak periods travelling distances may be longer.
We visit all our hosts before placing students with them and monitor student feedback to ensure you have the best possible experience. See also Private Homes.
residential AccommodationPrivate Homes in busy periods, adult students may be placed in Private Homes rather than Homestay. The difference is that in Private Homes, there are more than four students living in the house. Please tell us if you do not wish to stay in Private Home accommodation.
residential dormitories Eastbourne offers shared residential dormitory accommodation for students age 10-16. This is reserved for groups in spring, autumn and winter but in the summer, it is also available for individuals.
other Accommodation optionsSelf-catering student houses, hostels, hotels and guest houses are also available. Please contact schools for more information – they are happy to give advice.
