What
do you need to become a host family?
English is the mother tongue of at least one adult in the household
and the language spoken at home.
You will need to provide information about
your family, photos, an up-to-dated criminal record check and a copy of your
household insurance.
my English Family will visit your house and
provide Homestay Welcome Training.
If you are offering English lessons, you
will need to provide proof of a teaching qualification or experience.
You will
also undertake my English Family’s Homestay Teaching Training.
There is no minimum commitment – you can
host whenever it suits you.
