Applying to be a Homestay Host

• Do you have a spare bedroom available?
• Are you interested in experiencing different cultures and traditions?
• Would you be willing to welcome international students into your home, treat them as a family member and provide a friendly and relaxed environment during their studies at our quality language school?

Then we would like to hear from you.

We have a register of homestays who accommodate our students. They are mainly young adults who come potentially from all over the world. The students ask for homestay accommodation because they want the opportunity to practise their English outside the classroom and to experience the way we live at home.

Being a homestay host for a language school is different to advertising a room privately, because you do not meet the student before he/she arrives. But the student already has a relationship with the school, which means that we have access to the student’s family or agent in the event of any problem arising. Once the student leaves the school this association ends.

The student pays their accommodation fee to the school and the school pays the host direct. You can expect to receive regular payments.

We are taking on new hosts all year round and we are expecially interested in hosts who:-

• have a separate bathroom for students use only and can provide breakfast and dinner every day of the week
• are willing be able to accommodate and supervise junior students (under the age of 18 years)

All other homestay providers will only be inspected between April and early August, as our busiest period is July and August, so we do need to know if you are available then.

If you are interested in becoming a homestay host and live within 20 to 30 minutes of our school (postcode N10 3TD), then print out our application form, fill it in and send it to us by ordinary mail originally signed.   Once we have received your form we will contact you and arrange to visit you and view your home before we put you on the register. The visit will take approximately one hour. We look forward to receiving your application form.

If you are unsure if you live within our catchment area, please email us giving your address (including postcode) to confirm. 

Meanwhile, please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or would like to find out the rates that we offer our hosts.
