Testimonials
I had such a good time in England that I wish I was staying longer. My Host Mum was kind and friendly and looked after me very well, it was perfect for me. I have made some really good connections for my future. I would like to come back and study here.

I enjoyed my time in England very much and have made a lot of new experiences. The family was perfect and exactly how I had wished her to be, I can only recommend this family. The food was good and normally home cooked. My room was very cosy. I got along very well with my host family and spent a lot of time with them. After the first week I already had made some friends. I also got along fine with everyone. I have always joined in with everything and have tried it all, I learned a lot and have seen much. I not only improved my English, I also got an insight into the lifestyle of my host country, which is something that interests me very much and is the main reason for my going to England

I spent four excellent weeks in West Midlands, the family was lovely. I really recommend the host family and the shop who knew how to welcome me with kindness. I'll surely keep wonderful memories. Je recommande vraiment la famille et le magasin, qui ont su m’accueillir avec gentillesse, et dont je garderai de superbes souvenirs.

I can honestly say that I enjoyed every minute in my English home for three months. Especially the people I've met when I've been on weekend-trips to Edinburgh, Cardiff, Liverpool and many more. The organisation chose a very good company for me which was very open-minded towards my own ideas. As they told me I would be a very good purchasing assistant I was very pleased. Nobody can take away those experiences, so get ready to work abroad in England!

I would like to thank you for your help and efforts! I look back on my two "English weeks" with great satisfaction! It was a great experience for me. I got on well on my own and felt totally happy with my Host family. On the whole I can only recommend this experience!
Lora, (Germany)
I enjoyed my time in England very much. Wynne is a friendly and competent contact person. My host mother was really great. Maureen cooks so very well and was terribly friendly. I think my English mostly improved through my conversation with her. I would do it again. Many thanks for your organisation and placement.

Comment by a local Host Family;
My family and I have been hosting young people for 11 years now. Initially my reasons for hosting were due to me starting a university degree as a mature student and considered it an excellent opportunity to increase our family budget. Additionally, I considered it to be a good way of introducing interest to our family and for my own two daughters who were 15 and 11 years old at the time. I have found the experience to be very rewarding and enjoyable, over the years I have had more than 100 students stay in our home. I always feel rather excited when I go to collect a new student and therefore a new addition to the family, as each young person brings with them individuality and a new personality. We try to involve and include our students in our social activities when possible.
Our friends and extended family accept that quite often our invitations will include an additional place for any young people who are with us at the time. I have learned to cook and provide meals for every individual’s taste and requirements. My family have made many new friends from hosting – some who I will consider to be lifelong. Some of our students have made return visits whilst others keep in touch through messaging and social media sites.
