Dates: Year round

Description: One-to-One Homestay, living in the tutor's home, including private room, individual and customized tuition, full-board (all meals), participation in family life and activities, cultural visits and excursions. Pick-up/drop-off at the nearest airport/railway station. A fantastic linguistic and cultural experience!!

Eurolingua One-to-One Homestay Programmes are available all year and are suitable for students of any age (16 - 75 years) and language level (beginner to advanced). Ideal for personal interest, business, travel or examination revision purposes. All Eurolingua tutors are fully-qualified teachers and native speakers, experienced in teaching their mother tongue as a foreign language.

The unique Eurolingua One-to-One Homestay Programme will ensure that you make maximum progress in the shortest possible time, whatever your starting level, beginner to advanced. You live full-board in the home of your fully-qualified foreign language tutor, receiving 4 hours per day (20 hours per week) of individual language tuition, specifically adapted to your own level, learning pace and interests, whether for business or pleasure!! The rest of the time you benefit from lots of conversational practice by participating in the usual everyday family activities of your personal tutor and family and by meeting people in the local community. You may, of course, have as much independent time as you wish. You acquire an authentic accent, total confidence and real fluency in the language.

Highlights: I live in a weather board older style (high ceilings) house with large rooms and a large garden area at rear. The house is bright and airy with separate sitting areas for a quiet coffee or for reading the paper. I have broadband internet connection allowing students to stay in touch with friends via email. I am within walking distance of the great city of Geelong shopping centre and beautiful bayside swimming pool as well as a very good local shopping centre around the corner. There is a local bus service nearby as well as train station to Melbourne and country Victoria within walking distance. Geelong hosts Australian Football games during winter months as well as boating, yachting, golf and swimming. Geelong is one hour by car from Melbourne.

A freeway links Geelong to Melbourne making it an easy drive to the international airport. Geelong is a beautiful clean city of approx 170,000 people situated on Corio Bay and is the Gateway to the Victoria's beautiful surf coast and spectacular coastal scenery and cool rain forest.

A competent teacher with a love of Australian history, flora and fauna, music and photography. I enjoy meeting people from over the world and have recently returned from teaching in the United Kingdom (UK), as well as visiting France and Italy and Spain.
