Homestay teachers 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 teacher 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 teacher provides meals and accommodation as well as social and sightseeing activities to enrich the learning process.
Guests need to know they will be staying in a safe and secure environment on a Lingoo language homestay. Since 2007, we have been using a stringent validation process for members; no one can actively use our site without first being validated by a human being. We physically check each member’s profile and members must supply a current identification document and proof of address. For added security, we allow members to create a credentials file (available to members on request). Our hosts are then evaluated by visitors with feedback left on their Lingoo profile.
We also protect your personal information on our secure servers in an encrypted form and our secure messaging system maintains your privacy during communication with other members. Any financial transactions through Lingoo are also safeguarded through enhanced security. Read more about security on Lingoo.
