Program Overview

Program Description:

This program was designed with the objective of placing foreign university students in Spanish families who wish to improve their Englishlanguage skills. The host families will provide room and board to the students who, in exchange, will give conversational lessons in their native language to all or any family member. Having the opportunity to tutor the members of a family is in itself a learning experience. The sessions may be a time for exchanging information about languages, customs, and cultures. The tutor will spend up to 15 hours per week helping their host family to improve their English skills, who will accommodate the student for a period of 4 , 8 or 12 weeks.

Services Included - Placement in a Spanish host family - Airport pick up and transfer - Room and board provided by the host family (breakfast, lunch and dinner) - Total assistance and full-time support during stay in Spain - Cultural Exchange - Language tutoring training

Setting Description:

Choices for the locations and host families are primarily based on availability, student background and preference as stated at the time of booking. We have many years experience of placing overseas students. We feature years of expertise in Intercultural Education and therefore we are better able to match a tutor application to a family than a student or parent. It cannot be guaranteed that a tutor can be placed in a chosen location; however, we will always try to accommodate the preferences of the early applicants when making our selection.
