HOST AN ENGLISH-SPEAKING TUTOR

• Tutors fully participate in family life as another member of the family and their role is to speak in their native language (in English) and to spend  15 hours per week teaching you English.
• Most of our tutors are students, they have all completed their A-levels and are usually aged 18-30. They take part in the programme because they want to learn about French culture while living fully immersed in French family life.
• Our tutors are usually from the USA.

• In return for the language exchange, as a host family you must ensure that your tutor has their own room and access to all conveniences in your home.
• You must accommodate and provide food for your tutor during their entire stay (from 1 to 3 months).
• You are not expected to pay for your tutor’s meals if they eat out.
• Establish a weekly timetable for your English lessons and conversation classes.
• The host family should speak French to the tutor, as much as possible, outside of the agreed English classes.
• During their free time your tutor can travel, take part in activities, sign up for French lessons etc.

• Placements last from at least 1 month to a maximum of 3 months.
• Placements are available all year round.
• You must pick up your tutor from the nearest airport as well as drop them off at the end of their stay.
• Your tutor will pay for their own flights.

• Apply for free
• Subscription fee: €150

PLEASE NOTE: the payment is made after you have been introduced to your tutor

• Placement fee:
  > €240 for a 1 month placement
  > €300 for a 2 month placement
  > €360 for a 3 month placement

PLEASE NOTE: the payment is made after your tutor’s placement has been confirmed

Your tutor’s work is unpaid. You simply accommodate them, cook for them and treat them as you would a member of your family.
The cost of flights and French classes, should your tutor decide they want to take any, is your tutor’s responsibilty.
We also ask that tutors take out insurance before arriving that will cover them fully during their stay in France (health, public liability, repatriation).

• The AFJ team is available every day of the week, throughout the entire duration of your cultural exchange.
• We help you to put together your dossier free of charge. We won’t ask you for any subscription fees or payments during the registration period.
