California Language Academy was founded in July of 2010 with the mission of
providing personalized, intimate, and engaging language learning services.
Together, we have established high-quality, family owned and operated
language schools that offer small class sizes to meet the individual needs of each
student’s learning goals and objectives. We employ highly-qualified and
dedicated instructors and our comprehensive curricula are designed to build
students’ skills and self-confidence when communicating in English, or a foreign
language, in an academic or professional setting.
California Language Academy is passionate about the success
of each of our students.
Learn English & live in your private teacher's home around San Francisco with Home Language International!
Home Language International (HLI) is a family-run business offering language courses in more than 20 languages in over 30 countries worldwide, including English lessons at an experienced private teacher's home in USA. More than 5,000 students take advantage of our services every year. Ian Josephs, Danielle Josephs, their 5 adult children and an expert team of dedicated staff all put in very long hours for HLI.
You stay in an experienced teacher's family home, have one-to-one English lessons and then continue to use the language during the rest of your stay in San Francisco. Because you are the only student, you are guaranteed individual attention. The lessons are completely designed for you, so the teacher will focus exactly on what you need. Mealtime conversation, television and social contacts are all in English.
All of our teachers in USA have a university degree (or equivalent) and/or a recognised teaching certificate. All teachers have been visited by one of our local organisers. Their qualifications have been checked and their homes throughly inspected. During your stay in San Francisco, a local organiser will monitor your progress and make sure your experience is both happy and successful.
Home Language International (HLI) is accredited by the Accreditation Body for Language Services (ABLS), Association of Language Travel Organisations (ALTO), and UNOSEL.
