Teach English one-to-one from your own home
Teach English one-to-one from your own home and host an international student as part of a managed home tuition programme. We match you with suitable learners, handle the administration, and support both you and your student throughout the stay.
If you enjoy teaching, have a welcoming home and would like to host students on a flexible basis, this programme may be a good fit.
Home tuition combines one-to-one English lessons with homestay accommodation in your home. You host the student as a guest and provide a set number of private lessons per week, usually in your living room, dining room or a quiet study.
We handle enquiries, matching, written confirmations, payments and support. You focus on teaching and hosting.
Most home tuition students are adults (18+) who want focused, individual support: for example improving general English, preparing for an exam, or working on professional communication. We also occasionally receive requests for 16–17 year olds; in those cases, additional safeguarding checks apply.
We work with clear rate bands so that you know exactly how your earnings are calculated and students receive transparent quotes.
Home tuition placements depend on the mix of requests we receive and your availability profile. Some tutors receive several bookings per year; others prefer only occasional placements.
We take safeguarding and quality seriously. We will always be honest with you about what we can and cannot offer and will only place students where we are confident that expectations can be met.
We offer different board options to students. We will only propose arrangements that you are happy to provide.
The student buys and prepares their own food. You agree reasonable kitchen access and storage. This can work well if your schedule varies or you prefer to keep cooking separate.
You provide breakfast every day at agreed times. The student arranges their own lunch and dinner, with reasonable kitchen access if appropriate.
You provide breakfast and an evening meal every day. This is a popular option as it gives regular shared time together while leaving afternoons free.
You provide breakfast, lunch and dinner. This may suit younger students or those who prefer everything included. We will only propose full board if it fits comfortably with your routine.
We welcome applications from experienced English teachers and professionals with strong English and relevant tutoring experience. We look at your teaching background, home environment and household fit.
Tell us about your teaching background, home, household and availability.
We review your information and may arrange a short call to discuss the programme and your expectations.
Depending on the type of students you wish to host, we may request proof of qualifications, CV, references and DBS checks.
Once accepted, we create a simple internal profile summarising your teaching strengths, home and board options.
When a suitable enquiry comes in, we contact you with a summary and proposed dates and rates. You can accept or decline each placement.
A recognised teaching qualification is helpful, especially for exam preparation, but we also consider experienced tutors, retired teachers and professionals with strong English and mentoring experience. We will be honest about the type of students we can match you with.
For adult-only placements, we will look at your overall profile and references. For under-18s, an appropriate DBS check and safeguarding awareness are mandatory. We can discuss the best way to arrange this if you are not currently working in a setting that requires one.
This depends on your availability, location, rates and profile. Some hosts in high-demand areas may receive several enquiries per year; others may only be matched occasionally. We never guarantee a minimum number of placements.
No. You are an independent host and tutor. We arrange placements and pay you for the agreed lessons and board, but you are responsible for your own tax, insurance and compliance with any conditions on your mortgage, tenancy or visa.
If you think this programme could be a good fit, please send us some details about your teaching background, your home and your availability. We will review your application and contact you with next steps.
