Hosting and Hospitality

Description as a Host

I started hosting in 1999. I started teaching English as a foreign language in the same year, when I got my TEFL certificate. I love grammar and can provide exam preparation lessons. I tailor the lessons covering topics the students are interested in (sports, pop music, whatever). I like going to museums, visiting town, horse riding. There is much to do I usually plan it with the students. Here pictures: With the French freestyle kayak world championships; Lover of cars; Admiration for Paul Smith, his flagship boutique. Paul Smith is a world famous clothing designer from Nottingham; Frame-knitters museum.

        The house is near a library and the shops. The location is lovely and well served by public transport (10 minutes from the city centre). The host (Barbara) is very friendly, cheerful and helpful. She explains grammar very well and helps students to improve their vocabulary and their pronunciation. The timetable of classes is flexible.

        Excellent access for the airport, trains and buses. City centre is only 10 minutes away. Very nice residential area, with a beautiful park in the centre.
