English courses for adults in Cornwall

At the end of a Skool course you will be a better speaker, reader and writer in English. You will feel like you have learned in a personalised way, far from busy classrooms, and away from the crowd.

On our English with Walking course we combine learning English in the morning, with walking or hiking in the afternoon. Each afternoon we head out and discover the landscape made famous by Rosamunde Pilcher, Poldark and most recently – Raynor Winn.

At Skool, we focus on small groups, personal attention, and practical learning so you can develop your English in a supportive and engaging environment. Language doesn’t always follow simple rules, and learning it isn’t just about studying grammar.

A Home Language International immersion course means you live the language you are learning and is the fastest, most natural way to learn. You are staying in your teacher’s home, have one-to-one language lessons and continue to use and practise your language skills sharing the daily life of your teacher’s family during meals, conversations, visits and activities as they all take place in the language you are studying.
