Hosting international students can be a really rewarding experience for all involved, as well as a great way to earn extra income.

We’re an accredited language school based in Southampton and we also recruit international students of secondary school age for term-time courses at Ringwood Waldorf School. Some students stay for a term, while others stay for a whole school year.

What you’ll need to provide...

  • A warm welcome!
  • A spare bedroom with wardrobe, linen/towels, desk and WiFi.
  • Breakfast, cooked dinner and packed lunch daily
  • A DBS check. This is a simple process and costs £48.80 per person.
  • Transport to and from school (unless it is convenient and safe for them to travel by bus or on foot)

How much can I earn?

Our rates of pay are below. For further details, visit our Payment page.

Single room: £185 per student per week

Shared room (twin beds): £175 per student per week

Your earnings as a homestay host are tax-free up to £7,500 per year. For more information on the government’s Rent a Room Scheme, click here.
