Can a couple do this?
Posted by John Mallon 8 years 7 months ago
My girlfriend and I are very interested in doing homestays next year and teaching English would be a great way to help with finances. Is it possible to be in this program as a couple?

Hey John!
We can always ask if there are any families that would accept a couple. But unfortunately, it is pretty hard to place 2 people in the same home. This comes down to housing size and the fact that families don't necessarily need 30-hours of English lessons per week. We do offer a Buddy Program in which two friends can each get a $100 discount to be placed in the same area.
I would definitely say a couple could do this, as long as the family they were staying with understood that. It might be a bit harder finding the right family, but could definitely be worth it.
Hope this helps!
