How to Shop for Homestay Tutors
ESL in Canada recommends private tutoring for students. The combination of professional
homestay and tutoring is an ideal learning opportunity for international students.
Look for the Network Club "How to shop for the best prices" Seminar.
Costs for the homestay tutor program:
Rooms are between $200 to $500 per four-week period
Meals are $300 per four-week period
Tutoring costs are:
Plan A : 20 hours per month for $300 or

Cost to the student is from $1,050 to $1,950 per four-week period. The homestay tutoring
program will save students $300 to $800 each month and provide 30+ additional
hours of individual attention each month.
The language students can also study TOEFL, IELTS, TOEIC, or Business English, for 2
hours per day with a specialist or at the local Board of Education continuing education
programs or self-study at the Library or they can volunteer at the ESL in Canada Social
club for free language exchanges.

Example Listing for Issac in Toronto
I have three rooms that are devoted to ESL students. The common areas are open
concept, living room, dining room, and kitchen. I have a three-level house located
directly across from the subway.
There is also a large backyard for summer bbq parties. I provide all meals for the
students + I assist them with English. I also provide introductions into all of the
various cultures of Canada.
We take tours into Quebec, Ottawa, and central
Ontario. I do a lot of entertaining (huge dinner parties). During these events, the
students are able to mingle with artists, academics and just plain folks.
During the warmer months, I encourage the students to bike and walk.
We take cycling tours of Toronto's parks and we often pack a picnic lunch. In
the evenings and weekends I take them with me (walking tours) as I do my
shopping. This is an important tool of learning the basics in English and also
how to mingle with Canadians ( I talk with strangers as I go through my daily
duties). Most students don't know how to start a conversation with a stranger in
public. I try to devote a large percentage of my time to the students. I enjoy
helping the students to learn about Canada and Canadians.
Students Benefit with Homestay Tutors
The Homestay Tutor Program is designed for homeowners to add real value to the "
Homestay Experience" of international students who travel to Canada to study
English as a second language.
Homestay in Canada can be a wonderful experience for students to receive real one-on-one
tutoring in English pronunciation, language rhythm, tone and timing. The student can hear
oral demonstrations and practice their basic conversation skills in a positive nurturing
environment that no mass language class in Canada can duplicate.
Homestay students have stated that they have learned between 0% and 90% of all English
during their stay in Canada at the Homestay. ESL in Canada is interested in developing
the positive aspects of individual tutoring for students and help homestay families be
properly compensated for the true value of their contributions.
The typical language student travelling to Canada pays from $600 to $1500 for 100 hours
of ESL classes, pays $600 to $900 for homestay and a variety of registration fees from
$200 to $500. With travel expenses the first month for the typical language student
costs from $3000. to $4500. Canadian dollars.
Because of the high costs most language students stay in homestay for one month then
move to an apartment with other students where the native language is spoken most of the
time. Most international language students have been forced to a totally negative
English language-learning living situation because of basic economics.
The typical language student sits in a class with 10 to 25 other students and receives
from 0 to 10% teacher help. If we use the 10% and 100 hours formula - the typical
language student pays $60 to $150 per hour for their individual teacher attention.
ESL in Canada wants to change the economics for language students to help them learn
more for less. The basic economics for homestay tutoring is very simple. Costs of a
room range between $200 to $400 per four week period, the price for Meals is $300 per
four week period and the price for 30 hours of tutoring is $450 per 4 week period. The
Total Cost to the student is $950 to $1150 Canadian dollars per four week period.
The combination program will provide 30 additional hours of individual attention each
month. This combination will allow language students to stay in the homestay and remain
in the 100% positive language learning environment for the entire study period in
Canada.
Real Benefits for Homestay Tutors
The first benefit is the personal satisfaction that is generated from watching a fellow
human being succeed using the information and skills obtained from your teaching.
The knowledge that you will help your students save lots of money and learn more with
you.
The students will stay with you for three to twelve months instead of changing every 2
or 4 weeks.
By legally registering your Homestay tutor business, keeping proper business records and
filing a business tax form most homestay tutors will create so many legal deductions
that they have more net income. I enjoy getting back taxes from Ottawa - you should too!!!
