Experience Full Immersion in English Education
In December 2026, Plus One Education, a subsidiary of Riso Education Group based in Tokyo, is set to launch an exceptional 10-day homestay program titled "Group Tour with Supervision: Homestay at English Teacher's Residence in the UK." This unique initiative allows participants to fully immerse themselves in the English language by staying with qualified English teachers, experiencing one-on-one lessons in an entirely English-speaking environment. This program isn't just about learning; it’s designed to cultivate independence and enhance English proficiency within a short span of time, supported by comprehensive guidance.
Daily Support and Reporting
Throughout the program, participants will have a supervising staff member who will accompany them and provide support while they are living abroad. This supervision includes daily reporting back to parents via email about the children’s well-being and activities. Should any emergencies arise, the staff is prepared to respond swiftly, ensuring each participant feels safe and secure in their new environment.
