The Terrace started as a limited company in London in September 2001, providing English homestay immersion courses. In ten years we have successfully hosted and taught more than 350 students from 26 different countries. This type of course, where the student stays in the home of the teacher, is an effective and efficient way of learning. Students are usually business and professional people who need to improve their English quickly and effectively for their careers. Others are families and individuals who want to increase their English fluency, and also young people who have to pass English exams to enter university, for example FCE, IELTS, TOEFL.
In September 2011 we moved to our new home in Pau, Cataluña, Spain. Since then, we have worked hard to create a new, exciting centre for learning, based on our successful model in the UK, with some innovative changes. We are combining a casa rural business which we believe will give greater diversity to our clients' experience. Language students will have the opportunity to meet and practise their English with many people, and holiday guests can exchange views and information in return.
