ESL in Canada has been busy surveying students while here in Korea and is recommending the homestay tutor program for students studying in Canada.
This is the best educational value for international ESL students and provides an excellent stable environment for language learning.
Homestay Tutor program
This program is designed for homeowners to add real value to the "Homestay Experience" of international students who travel to Canada to study English as a second language.
Homestay in Canada can be a wonderful experience for students to receive real one-on-one tutoring in English pronunciation, language rhythm, tone and timing. The student can hear oral demonstrations and practice their basic conversation skills in a positive nurturing environment that no mass language class in Canada can duplicate.
Homestay students have stated that they have learned between 0% and 90% of all English during their stay in Canada at the Homestay. ESL in Canada is interested in developing the positive aspects of individual tutoring for students and help homestay families be properly compensated for the true value of their contributions.
The typical language student travelling to Canada pays from $600 to $1500 for 100 hours of ESL classes, pays $600 to $900 for homestay and a variety of registration fees from $200 to $500. The first month for the typical language student costs from $1400. to $3000. Canadian dollars.
Because of the high costs most language students stay in homestay for one month then move to an apartment with other students where very often the native language is spoken. The language students have been forced to a totally negative language-learning living situation because of basic economics. The typical language student sits in a class with 10 to 25 other students and receives from 0 to 10% teacher help. If we use the 10% and 100 hours formula - the typical language student pays $60 to $150 per hour for their individual teacher attention.
ESL in Canada wants to change the economics for language students to help them learn more for less. The basic economics for homestay tutoring is very simple. Costs of a room range between $200 to $400 per four week period, the price for Meals is $300 per four week period and the price for 40 hours of tutoring is $600 or 60 hours
for $900 per 4 week period. The Total Cost to the student is $1100 to $1600 Canadian dollars per four week period.
The language students can also study TOEFL, Cambridge, TOEIC, Business English, Career English or advanced grammar for 2 hours per day at the language schools for $250 to $400 per month or they can volunteer at the ESL in Canada Social club for free language exchanges.
The homestay tutoring program will save students $300 to $800 each month. The combination program will provide 30 additional hours of individual attention each month. This combination will allow language students to stay in the homestay and remain in the 100% positive language learning environment for the entire study period
in Canada.
Real Benefits for Homestay Tutors
The first benefit is the personal satisfaction that is generated from watching a fellow human being succeed using the information and skills obtained from your teaching.
The knowledge that you will help your students save lots of money and learn more with you.
The students will stay with you for three to twelve months instead of changing every 2 or 4 weeks.
Monthly Tutor compensation for two students should range up from $2400. depending on location, meals and tutoring program.
By registering a Homestay tutor business with ESL in Canada you can use the extra $2500 to $10,000 in tax deductions the business will use to shield the additional tutor income.
I enjoy getting back taxes from Ottawa - you should too!!!
