Executive English and Activity programmes

Language study with activity programmes are becoming more popular every year. A programme will involve Executive English 1-to-1 lessons and a leisure or sporting activity in the afternoon. The lessons can be at your hotel.

Executive English plus Golf programme

Scotland is the home of golf. Edinburgh has more than 20 golf courses within a short distance of the city.

We offer English plus Golf at the Marine Golf Hotel, Dalmahoy and Gleneagles. We can tailor a week’s golf and English for your language and golf skills. The choice is yours.

A typical day involves English lessons in the morning and golf in the afternoon. During the summer months you can take a second round of golf in the evening.

Executive English Homestay programme

One of the 'Executive English' options is our Homestay programme.

You will be welcomed into your host's home and you will live as a member of the family. Your one-to-one lessons will be for you and your needs. This, together with outings and social events, will give you the most out of your time here.

Lessons are available as 15, 20 or 25 hours per week. You will spend the mornings in lessons with your teacher, afternoons free to explore the city. In the evening, you eat with the family and have a chance to practise your English. For each of the options, you can choose between activities and lessons. For example, a student taking 20 hours can choose 15 hours formal lessons and two museum, gallery trips or any of the city’s attractions.
