Teach from home
Many language students are looking for opportunities to stay in the home of a tutor. It’s an intensive, effective way to immerse themselves in the language and culture. As a host tutor, you provide meals and accommodation alongside formal or informal lessons to help students accelerate their language acquisition. So you also need to hold a professional qualification to teach your own language, or another language, to non-native speakers.
• Work flexibly and at a time that suits you
• Set your own rates
• Select your students
• Develop your own cultural immersion activities
• Control the content of your lessons and courses.
Your work can be as varied as you like. Choose to tutor teenagers preparing for exams, professionals improving business language skills, children learning for school, tourists brushing up on a language; the choice is yours. And the Lingoo team is here to help support you on the way with advice and tips on our FAQ page.
Home tutors use their language teaching qualifications to teach in their own home. It’s a freelance opportunity. That makes it highly flexible. Some work from home all the time while others are full-time schoolteachers who offer homestays during school holidays. All homestay teachers control who they teach, when, and for how long. They also control how much they charge, the curriculum, and the activities and facilities they provide.
It’s an unrivalled opportunity for students to immerse themselves in the local language and culture. The student and tutor spend time together – in formal or informal lesson settings and during normal daily activities – so the student practices the language, builds confidence, and absorbs the local culture. The tutor provides meals and accommodation as well as social and sightseeing activities to enrich the learning process.
