what is Wessex Study?
Wessex Study is a teaching programme for individual adult foreign students who want to study English with an experienced and qualified teacher in a village setting while staying with a host family in a nearby city. This combination of 1 : 1 study and family living is called "homestay."

What does a typical week look like?
After breakfast with your host family we will pick you up and take you the 13 km to Abbotsford, the 500 year old house in the village of Thorverton, near Exeter in Devon, where tuition takes place on five days of the week.

If you choose the standard 21 hour timetable you will have three 60 minute hours of lessons in the morning and one-and-a-half hours in the afternoon, with morning coffee break and lunch in the house. After lessons you will be taken home by car. You will have your evening meal with the family.
Here is a typical example of your working day if you follow a full-time course, although naturally the details will be adapted to your own needs and wishes.
8:30 Pick up from your host family
9:00 - 10:30 Grammar
10:30 - 11:00 Coffee break
11:00 - 12:30 English for special purposes
12:30 - 13:30 Lunch
13:30 - 15:00 Conversation, listening, social English
On one day in the week you will go on a local excursion of your choice; Sunday and one afternoon are free for you to explore the countryside and relax.
