Course description

A unique English coaching experience that combines the fun and immersion of a language holiday with tailored 1:1 coaching for professionals with an urgent deadline, such as preparing for presentations, job interviews, or critical work projects.

While this course offers the opportunity for focused professional development, it is built on the foundation of a full immersion holiday. At Blue Noun, we firmly believe that the best way to grow confident in English—especially for professionals—is through a fun, immersive experience that gets you speaking naturally in real-world contexts.

Course Overview:

The heart of the program is the same as our signature immersion holidays: mornings filled with engaging conversation sessions led by a qualified coach, designed to build fluency, confidence, and authentic English.

Afternoon immersion activities are replaced with intensive 4 x 1:1 coaching sessions.

These sessions are entirely focused on your specific needs, helping you refine presentations, ace interviews, or prepare for high-stakes professional tasks. However, the emphasis remains on maintaining the balance and enjoyment of a holiday, because confident English grows through positive, enjoyable experiences.

The advertised 38 teaching hours are spread across the week and include a combination of coaching, activities, and social events. Even with 1:1 coaching, the program retains the fun and immersive nature that makes English learning effective and enjoyable.

For most professionals, the full immersion holiday is the best way to build long-lasting confidence in English. The added 1:1 coaching option is recommended only for those with strict, immediate deadlines who need intensive support alongside the immersion experience. (Chat to us on Zoom before booking this option).

At Blue Noun, professional success goes hand in hand with enjoying the process.

You’ll leave not just with improved skills but with the confidence to use English authentically and effectively in your career—and in life.

School description

Blue Noun Language School offers a unique alternative to traditional classroom-based language learning. It’s all about engaging in real English conversations within the community and exploring Scotland with the guidance of an English coach.

The setting is extraordinary: a stunning open-plan, repurposed church filled with living plants, comfortable sofas, contemporary art, and a vibrant record collection. This inspiring space is designed to spark meaningful conversations and connections.

The coaching approach empowers learners to express themselves confidently in English. Rather than traditional lessons that emphasize being a learner, the focus is on building real-world communication skills and self-assurance through immersive, living language experiences.

Homestay hosts are chosen for their clean, cozy homes and exceptional hospitality. In 2024, Perthshire was proudly voted the friendliest place in the world by Tripadvisor, and our hosts reflect this warmth and kindness. They create a welcoming atmosphere, offering space and privacy while helping you feel completely at ease.

Meals are always available at our language hub. Guests can choose to have breakfast at their accommodation or at the hub, depending on their preference. Evening meals are not routinely provided by homestay hosts, as this time is typically dedicated to socializing and connecting with fellow participants and hosts at the hub.
