WOULD YOU LIKE AN ADDITIONAL INCOME?

WOULD YOU LIKE TO HELP FOREIGN STUDENTS IMPROVE THEIR LANGUAGE SKILLS IN A FRIENDLY HOME ENVIRONMENT?

If you have a spare room in your house you can be very well paid (depending on the number of hours you are required to teach) simply by accommodating and teaching students from 1 - 4 weeks, predominantly during the school holidays. We are currently looking for highly educated hosts who have a university degree (any academic subject) or who have a teaching certificate recognised by the state or teachers who are already in full-time employment and can teach in the vacation or who are working part-time or are retired and can teach on a flexible part/full-time basis.

Job Description
HLI are the outstanding leaders in Home Stay Language teaching, operating in 30 countries throughout the world. We are currently seeking further tutors to host and teach foreign students. The high quality of our tutors and the professionalism they bring are crucial in achieving this success.

We find our host teachers from various different situations. You might be self-employed and working from home, or a teacher looking for extra work in the holidays, perhaps retired or at home with the children.

Availability
Some tutors choose to work all year round, others work only during school holidays. Once you have been accepted, you may choose when you want to work. You are free to accept or turn down each student you are offered, for any reason you like. We have a steady stream of students throughout the year, not just during August.

What does the post involve?
Having a student live with you (usually 1 - 4 weeks) during which time they will be treated as a member of your family and typically receive 15 hours per week formal language lessons, taught on a one-to-one basis. You will also provide 3 meals a day for the student. Sometimes the students opt for activities instead of lessons for some part of their course.

Requirements for Tutor Homes
You will have a well-maintained home in a good location with reasonable access to shops, buses, trains, library and other local facilities. You will have a bedroom for the student with bed, wardrobe and a chest of drawers. These are for the student's use and must not be filled up with family clutter.
