Living in the home of your English teacher in Spain.

Patrick and Maria have been living in this beautiful part of Spain for the past four years. Patrick is Irish and has worked with RTE Irish television and has directed numerous stage shows. He is a native English speaker and has worked in schools in Ireland teaching drama and English. He now teaches English in a Spanish college in Malaga. He also specializes in Business English for company executives. Very experienced and interesting while being a fun teacher for younger students. Maria is Scottish and she and Patrick have two grown-up sons - one a TV director in London and the other a police officer in Scotland.
Before moving to Spain, we have been hosting English language students from different countries in our home in Ireland for the past ten years and we have vast experience in looking after students living away from their home. You are now welcome to our home with your own room and bathroom, large gardens, and a private swimming pool. You will live in a totally English-speaking environment with an English teacher to help you and give you lessons. Patrick also specializes in IELTS and other English exam preparation. Plus, there is a 7-kilometer-long, safe beach two minutes from our house and also two minutes to the train station that connects you to the airport (15 mins.) and Malaga City (40 mins.) with its great shopping and entertainment. You will have access to 83 American and British TV channels for purposes of listening to different English accents.

It is my pleasure to recommend Patrick D. I had the privilege of working with Patrick when he worked as a language assistant at the San Estanislau school in Malaga, though our academy. From the start, we received excellent feedback from the teachers, directors, and students at the school about Patrick. He is an excellent and intuitive teacher, always putting extra effort into lesson plans and activities to maximize the use of English in the classroom. He connected well with the students, finding ways to interest and motivate them in English. Patrick was also an excellent employee, making sure to communicate about any issue that came up with the school and fulfil all of his contractual obligations with no problems. All of these qualities make Patrick an ideal candidate for your program. I have no doubt that he will be a wonderful team contributor, and a valuable asset to your team. Amy N.

To whom it may concern; This is to confirm that Maria and Tony were registered as a host family for many years with Atlantic Language Galway when they lived in Ireland. They were excellent hosts, very welcoming and caring and all the students who stayed with them left very happy having found their home-away-from-home in Ireland. We were very sad to hear that they were going to move to Spain as it meant we would lose one of our very best host families on our list. I have no hesitation in recommending Maria and Tony. I am sure you will find out very quickly that a very reliable host family have come on board. If you have any questions or require further information, please do not hesitate to contact me. Tak. T. Accommodation Manager
