About Mercator

Mercator, established in 1987, offers English language tuition in Plymouth and Cornwall, in the south west of England. It is Cornwall’s first English Language School to have achieved British Council Accreditation. Cornwall is one of the most popular holiday regions in the UK. This means you can combine learning English with either a peaceful and relaxing holiday or one with lots of exhilarating activities such as practicing your favourite sport - water sports, golf, horse riding and tennis.

In fact the Home Stay Holiday programmes offer just a holiday with the opportunity to practise speaking English, mainly with your host family. There are no formal lessons. 

For those who do not have a long time to spend on language learning and need to achieve quick results, the range of One-to-One Home Tuition courses offer a realistic choice. These courses are also offered in several areas within easy travel to London such as Hove, Hastings, Sussex and Gloucestershire.

The foundations of our service are simple but important:

Professional standards of tuition, tailored to individual needs;

Cultural and linguistic integration through caring and hospitable host families;

Exploiting the best of what the region has to offer for the benefit of our students;

Offering value for money.
