Become an LAL London Host Home

Great Reasons to host with LAL London

Make friends with the world

Being a host home is a rewarding experience. You’ll meet students from all over the world and get to know them well as you help them to settle in and practise their English. Our students want to feel a welcome addition to the home. We have many host homes who love hosting our students, and we are sure that you will too.

Regular payments straight into your bank account

We offer good rates of pay for accommodating our students, and this money is paid to you directly to your bank account, so you never have to wait a long time to be paid.

Round-the-clock Welfare support

Our team of welfare staff are on call 24 hours a day to answer our dedicated local phone number.

A quality school

We are proud of our reputation and strive for excellence in everything we do. We use fully qualified teachers and, through our parent school in Torbay, are accredited by the British Council, which inspects us regularly. We take our responsibilities to our students and Host Families seriously.

How to apply to become a Host Home

Every year a large number of households apply to host our students; not all those who apply to host will be accepted and the recruiting process for all hosts is outlined below:

 

Anyone who wants to be a Host Home starts by filling in an application form and sending it to us.

 

Once an application form has been received from a prospective family we will send you a Host Home Contract and Host Home Manual, and a member of staff will then arrange a home visit for an informal interview with you and a check on the suitability of the house. During this visit we will be happy to answer any questions you have about hosting.

 

We will write to you to tell you whether we have been able to accept your application. When you are accepted, you will remain on our register unless you ask to be removed or, in exceptional circumstances, if you are in breach of the Host Home Contract.
