If I insert each in the sentence, does home need to be in plural?

The teachers will visit each of the student's homes Incorrect - means one student has more than one home; move the apostrophe - "each of the students' homes" and it will be correct.
The teachers will visit each of the student's home Incorrect
The teachers will visit each student's home Correct
The teachers will visit each student's homes Incorrect - says each student has more than one home.

Re: visit student
Hi Anglika!
How do we put an apostrophe in words ending in "ch" as "church" and "Branch"(name).
Is this right? This is the church's property.

There seems to be a big difference in how this is done on either side of the Atlantic.
As I understand things, North Americans might say "Church's".
We Brits might (if we were being formal) say "This is Church property". It's a bit confused, though, because in the context of possessives, the word "Church" is likely to be a proper noun, hence "Church" rather than "church".
The British term "Church's" tends to refer to a particular brand name of shoes!

Absolutely right. And "The church's door is always open".
Also:
This branch's opening hours are from 9.00am to 5.00pm.
