Host Family

Practise English in the safety of a home

Living with a host family offers students an opportunity to practise English in a friendly and safe environment and an opportunity to learn about Maltese culture and society at first hand.

The ESE team includes experienced and professional staff members who are responsible for the selection of families best suited to host our students. When selecting our host families ESE looks at the cleanliness and comfort of their home and the warmth of their welcome.  Our screening process includes both interviews and inspections of the families' home.

We look after our students and make every effort to ensure that their requirements such as dietary or else allergy restrictions are not a hindrance to them enjoying their language stay with ESE by placing them with families sympathetic to these conditions.

After we started hosting students, I found meeting different people from all over the world so fascinating. Adapting to a different culture and language is challenging especially when students are not fluent in English. But, watching them progress during their stay, and helping them improve, gives me the chance to get to know them better!

Hosting students gives us the possibility to meet people from all over the world from our home. We love to exchange our traditions, history and experiences as well as make new friends. Our students are more than just guests...they soon become family!

To be able to enjoy a diversity of cultures in our home makes hosting students an incredible experience for us. The fact that I am a ''real people'' person is great. Our students are not just students, they are our family and we love them!
