German student gains confidence in oral English

A young man from Germany, Moritz, came for 2 weeks recently.  He stayed with the Webb family.

He needed to improve his English as his older brother had done with Heritge English 5 years ago.
A little shy at first, he soon gained confidence under the guidance of his main teacher Toby (see photo)

Toby took him to a number of local museums as his key interest was history.
This is not recognised as a punishment any more!



On his final day we arranged a special treat: A visit to the Imperial War Museum in London under the supervision of Gail's daughter Rosie, also an English teacher.  Rosie said that she was the student that day since Moritz knew so much more than her about the historical facts.

On his return we received this message from his mother who was working overseas:

I skyped with my family yesterday night, Moritz was full of joy and he told us a lot about the lessons and awesome excursions. He enjoyed the whole programme very much and we are convinced that it was a very good decision to push him a little bit to agree on our plans. He said it had been the best holiday he ever had!

So once again, thank you very much for arranging the whole programme!
