Welcome to Graeme's house

I have found homestay teaching to be a very rewarding experience and through it have made many new friends around the World. While being a lot of fun, it is also an incredibly effective way to learn or improve your English. If you stay with me you will receive highly qualified teaching with a structured course tailored specifically to your needs and level. You will get feedback on progress throughout and at the end of the course with tips on areas to develop.

I have been teaching English now for about 10 years, after a 35 year career in the Oil & Gas industry. My preference is for adult stude...

- My homestay package requires a minimum of 10 hours per week of English lessons. The maximum course length is 20 hours per week.
- Students must be 18 + years old. I do not provide full-time supervision of young learners.
- Students stay in our double room (4mx4m) suitable for singles, sharers, and couples. The main room has an en suite bathroom and its own door to outside giving extra privacy and independence. Students will be given a key and be free to come and go as they please. I will advise on places to go, emergency contacts, and keep in contact via WhatsApp, but do not provide supervision of young people.
- For sharers, there is a 50% discount for the second person. Lessons can also be shared, i.e., 2:1, with a similar 50% discount for the additional person. If you are interested in the 2 person options, please inquire through the message box.
- High-speed internet, shared use of the kitchen, bedding, and towels are all included.

In a typical stay, we have breakfast together every day and 3 evening meals with myself and/or my partner per week. I do not provide lunch. There is ample opportunity to practice English. I take students for an initial walk in the local area for orientation. We can occasionally go out together jointly with my partner, although this is not a fixed part of the package. I am on hand to provide directions and advice and to keep in WhatsApp contact.
(Note from Linguifamily: please contact us for reservations for 2 persons or more with Graeme: special rate)

Language courses 53€ per hour

A minimum of 10 hours per week must be booked, maximum 20 hours per week. I charge the same price per hour whether you want General English, Business English, IELTS preparation, or have special requirements. If there are any special requirements please discuss. I can usually be very flexible.
I do not have a car, so airport pick up is not feasible.

Full Immersion Guaranteed

The host family optionally guarantees that there will be no other people speaking the same language during the stay.

Life with your host family

I live in a lovely four-bedroomed, Victorian house in West London (Zone 2). Students enjoy high-quality accommodation - a large room with a double bed and ensuite bathroom and its own door onto the street offering independence and privacy. The local area is a typical residential area of West London that borders Shepherd’s Bush, Hammersmith, and Chiswick. It offers plenty of shopping at Westfield (the largest shopping mall in Europe) and local bars, restaurants, and coffee shops on Chiswick High ...

Stay of 1 week

I greatly enjoyed my stay with Graeme and Rosangela! Graeme responded well to my request to focus the English lessons on improving my pronunciation. He developed a different area of work each day and I left with resources to continue working on my own. Before my stay, we had corresponded to define ...
