Become a Host Family

"I have hosted foreign students with Mark and Cathy for an over a year now. I find it very rewarding when you have students coming to the uk for the first time, for me personally it very important I make them feel at home and relax and enjoy their time here. I know I achieved this when they leave with big hugs and smiles.

If you have alway thought about hosting foreign students, I think going with Mark and Cathy is a great introduction because their students that come over are never here longer that 5 days and you don’t have to do it every week. Mark is very easy to talk to and you can always ask him things if you not sure.

I would highly recommend it, as it very satisfying knowing you made your students have a really good experience with the Bexhill host family."

"We have been hosting students since Home from Home started and thoroughly enjoy the experience. The students we have hosted over the years have been a delight; polite, courteous and keen to learn all about us Brits and our funny ways, especially Marmite!

We still keep in contact with some of the students who are now in their 20's and it is lovely to see how they have grown up, followed their dreams, gone into the careers they talked about and are jet setting all over the world!"

"I joined Home From Home in 2023. I had hosted overseas students before and I enjoyed the experience. I am impressed with the Home From Home service, they are helpful, supportive with great communication. The students are lovely and I would highly recommend."

"This is our second season hosting with Home from Home and we thoroughly enjoy having what are usually very polite and courteous students in our home. Both Mark and Cath are always at the end of the phone if we have any queries or questions and the organisation of the visits is great.

We would recommend anyone who has a spare room and  enjoys the company of young people to give it a go."

We’ve hosted families for many years and find Home from Home far superior than other local companies.

We find all students hosted are always polite, great communication.

Student details along with any allergies, ages and any relevant information one would expect are sent at least 2 weeks in advance.

Good rates of remuneration. Always prompt.

Mark and Catherine the organisers, are both very helpful and just a phone call away.
