The Essential English Centre welcomes adult and junior English language students from all over the world and we arrange accommodation for many of our students. Some students will stay in our partner student residence, however, many students like to stay with a local host, benefiting from a full cultural and language-immersion experience.
Why students come to the UK to live and study
Many of our adult students are highly talented professionals, university graduates and undergraduates from across the globe and in order to progress in their chosen career, they are required to speak English. The length of time a student chooses to study varies; the minimum stay set by The Essential English Centre is 1 week, whilst the maximum could be up to one year. Throughout the year we also welcome junior groups ( aged 12-17) and demand for adult and junior homestay accommodation is at its highest during the summer months.
Why become a host?
Hosting an international student can broaden your own life-experience and often leads to lifelong friendships.
Benefits include: – A competitive, weekly financial incentive – An opportunity to share your culture and experiences and learn from theirs – Satisfaction knowing you are helping a motivated student to reach their life-goals – Working with a British Council school means students will be carefully selected and placed into your home – Full support from The Essential English Centre staff, including a visit from one of the Directors.
Our requirements
Our hosts are single people, lone parents, flat-sharers, small families and large families but they all have one thing in common – a commitment to providing a comfortable, safe and welcoming English-speaking environment for our students.
