Here are 5 good reasons to choose the
BEST Homestay Service in Vancouver:
-
They are concerned about the well-being
and safety of the students who come to them for homestay accommodation.
This is why they maintain high standards in their selection process. Prospective
homestay hosts are interviewed and their homes are inspected for suitability
before students are placed in their care. The hosts must provide them with
evidence that they are of good reputation and moral character. In addition
to this, the hosts must speak English as their first language and have
clean comfortable homes.
-
They do their BEST to match the student
with a host or host family that shares the same interests as the student.
Common interests can be discussed and enjoyed together. Their hope is that
the student will form a positive connection with the selected family and,
that friendships with the host family will start to form immediately.
-
They maintain ongoing contact with the
student and the host family, throughout the term of the "stay". They do
their BEST to ensure that the Hosts are providing the care and attention
expected of homestay hosts, and that their student clients are happy.
-
They realize that cultural differences
and language difficulties can create misunderstandings among people. Their
multicultural workers are available to meet with students, speak to them
in their own language and interpret, to help resolve any issues pertaining
to homestay.
-
They offer 3 different types of homestay
to satisfy individual needs. You may choose a Traditional Homestay, Non-Traditional
Homestay or a Teacher-Host / Mentor-Host Specialty Homestay Program. If
your needs for accommodation change while you are in one of their homestays,
there is no need to shop around. They will help you find another situation
