…. I have just learnt your language for 36 hours with teacher lessons and living during seventeen days with a family in your country, and I’m sure I have learnt more than in five years in my country. At the end of my stay in Cornwall I was dreaming, thinking and talking to myself in English.

We want to thank Mercator Elt. for the great job done with our teenagers group sent in July 2009: excellent host families, exciting activity programme for the students entertainment and  dynamic English classes without forgetting the high academic level, all this offered in the beautiful Plymouth town.

We will continue sending groups because we received a highly personalised, caring and professional service from Mercator Elt.

Best regards,

We have trusted Mercator for more than 20 years making our collaboration a special one and one of the longest! Our collaboration has built over the years through the organisation of short stays and long stays, for groups and individuals. The hundreds of students that we have sent to Cornwall and Devon have always been accommodated by warm host families. We are very keen on working with Mercator and appreciate their professionalism and loyalty and look forward to many more years of happy collaboration!

Although for many years I recommended a study vacation in the UK to students to improve their English, I could never recommend any organising association because I was never happy with their standards of teaching or the accommodation they offered. In particularly this last feature. I am of the opinion that a family who is interested in helping the students to better their English is almost as important as the good standard of teaching in classes. Then I met Mercator Schools who not only combine good teaching methods with excellent teachers but also caring families who are interested in the young people who come to stay with them and interested in helping them improve their English. All of the Italian students that I know who have taken a course of English with Mercator Schools have greatly improved their English which has made it much easier to pass university exams and get better jobs.

One-to-One is better than going to an English school because the teacher knows everything about you and he/she can help you improve your English quickly and you can learn a lot about the English culture by living with the teacher’s family.
