Living and learning with your English teacher in a homestay is a new intensive way to eat, sleep and breathe the English language. An English teacher homestay allows you, your child or family group to benefit from a full linguistic and cultural immersion in an authentic home environment.
And because you are staying in the home of a native speaker where English is spoken every day, you gain real life language practice opportunities in real day-to-day situations. What’s more, you become a part of that family and immerse yourself in the local culture. When staying in the home of a qualified teacher, these opportunities are supplemented with formal or informal lessons to help you develop your English language skills and build understanding.
With an English teacher homestay, you also have full control over how you learn. For example, you can request intensive, one-to-one lessons, built around your specific needs. These could range from improving conversational skills, more formal communication skills or even the basics of business writing. If you (or your child) are taking English exams Cambridge PET, FCE, CAE or IELTS, your teacher can provide carefully planned lessons and exam practice.
Through Lingoo, you can choose your teacher based on their qualifications and experience, the type of accommodation they offer, choose when and where you stay – from a relaxed, rural setting to the bustling heart of a big city. You can even choose to be the only student staying with the teacher at that time, if you wish. And because, with Lingoo, you pay the teacher directly, it’s a cost-effective way to enjoy a language learning holiday.
• All Lingoo offers clearly state the qualifications and experience of the English teacher.

Hundreds of approved qualified teachers are registered with Lingoo. You can choose a teacher based on where you want to stay, shared interests – even diet or religion. Each Lingoo teacher has a personal profile that includes references and evaluations from students who’ve stayed on a homestay with that teacher. This all helps to avoid that terrible moment when you first ring the teacher’s bell and wonder who will answer, because you already know each other.
Remember that Lingoo teachers go through a stringent validation process. Their identity and qualifications are checked personally by the Lingoo validation team before they can register with us. Together with references and visitor evaluations, contracts for each reservation, and support from the Lingoo team when misunderstandings occur, we ensure that your homestays are safe, secure and offer great value for money. The Lingoo contract is also there to help unaccompanied children pass through Immigration. Even your deposit is covered by our cancellation rules.
