WHY BECOME A HOST
FAMILY?
-
Anyone can host!
We encourage our exchange students to experience homestays with a variety of different families, which means whether you have children in the school community or you don’t have children at all, we welcome all different families to host with us.
-
To provide a caring and friendly home environment where your student feels welcome and safe.
-
Not at all.
We understand that everyone leads a busy life! After school and on weekends your Japanese student will fit in with your schedule.In our experience, it is the everyday experiences that the students find most memorable and enjoyable during their stay. They love accompanying their host brother/sister to extracurricular activities, for example: sports practice and matches, piano and dance lessons, church, parties, supermarkets and other activities that are normal for your family.
-
We don’t expect you to be a full time tour guide for your student, even involving them in the little day-to-day activities makes the homestay experience fun!
We only ask 3 things of our host families:1. Provide the students with a place to sleep in their own room or in a shared room with another child of the same gender.
2. Provide the student with 3 meals a day including a packed lunch when they’re at school or when they go on excursions.
3. Drop the students off and pick the students up from a local school or have a family member accompany them on public transport.

Gold Education Tours has trained and experienced staff who are responsible for providing support to the Japanese students and host families throughout the duration of the homestay.
Before the students arrive, we will run a short online information session to give you the chance to ask us any questions that you may have. Once the students are here, we provide bilingual support, 24 hours, 7 days a week.
You will also receive hosting payment of $50 per night to help cover your expenses.
