Hello 😁, from Samantha-Jayne and family - we have hosted foreign students for over 7 years. We live near the BEACH in Bognor Regis. We will stay with you all the time. Always at home as this is our work. We always communicate on What's App with your family and send them photos each day. We are open all year. We love meeting new students and people from all over the world! We have a large family home with student guest rooms and can take individuals, or a family. We have a gym and swimming pool within a 5min walk, also yoga and tennis.

We live on the South Coast of England by the sea and are within a 1.5hr train ride to London, 30mins to Portsmouth and 45 mins to Southampton or Brighton.
(For this reason Please ONLY book arrivals or Departures for your child between 10am-4pm only). We use trains and car for transport or walk locally. We also have cycles.

We have 4 boys aged 11-20, 3 lovely dogs (2 sausage dogs and a cockerpoo) and a cat. We live a 5 min walk to the beach!

We are very experienced at tours and visits, so can take you as many places as you would like to go! London- Buckingham Palace, Big Ben, LEICESTER SQUARE, tower bridge, Covent Garden etc, Brighton, Harry Potter studio tours (must be pre-booked months ahead for this), Navy Boats museum, Spinnaker tower etc. We teach English lessons and each student goes home with a folder of what they have done. We give daily updates and photos to parents via what's app. We are English and speak English as primary language. We have strict rules of ONLY English speaking while with us, but obviously help out where needed! ❤️😁

We are very popular and get a lot of enquiries, so please book early. We have strict rules about ONLY speaking English when staying with us, so students learn as much as possible. ☺️

We include 1 hour of table lessons per day but learn throughout the day with conversation. My son and I are both qualified teachers, TEFL.♥️👍

We will take your child to visit at least 3 places a week; all the tours are free. The only cost would be a meal out if wanted once a week, which we recommend to see the British culture, like an English breakfast. Also, if you wanted to pay to go into an attraction such as the Tower of London. But these are both optional.

We provide packed lunch when out, home-cooked meals in the evening, and breakfast of cereal, toast, yogurt, and fruits. On Sundays, we have breakfast pancakes 🥞.

Ma fille Lou a passé 6 petits jours chez Samantha, mais cela a suffi pour qu'elle quitte la famille avec le coeur gros ! Samantha a été aux petits soins et m'a spontanément envoyé des nouvelles et des photos quotidiennement. Elle a emmené Lou pour différentes visites à Londres, Chichester, Portsmouth etc. Elle lui a fait pratiquer l'anglais écrit et oral en l'intégrant complètement à la famille, ce qui a été très facile avec ses 4 fils, tous très gentils également avec Lou. Et Samantha s'est montrée très réactive et protectrice lorsqu'un problème imprévu est survenu. Ma fille est décidée à y retourner ! Merci pour tout Samantha -Jayne ;)

Je suis restée 10 jours avec cette adorable famille, ils ont pris soin de m’accueillir dans leur quotidien. J’ai pu visiter Londres, Brighton, Chichester, Portsmouth et leur petit village Bognor Regis. C’était pour moi une expérience incroyable que j’aurai aimé continuer, j’ai pu améliorer mon anglais et partager de super moments avec eux. Je vous conseille vivement cette expérience avec la famille de Samantha-Jayne et Christian ainsi que leurs enfants !

Mon fils de 15 ans a passé 12 jours chez Samantha et il a beaucoup apprécié l'expérience. Cours collectifs d'anglais les matins, ludiques et intéressants - ce qui n'est pas évident avec des adolescents -, vie de famille en anglais, jeux et activités de groupe certains après-midis, balades à Londres, Chichester, Portsmouth... Samantha et sa famille sont très chaleureux et prévenants. Il s'agissait du premier voyage en solo de mon fils et il a été tout de suite mis en confiance. Samantha l'a récupéré et déposé à l'aéroport, elle nous a donné des nouvelles journalières pour nous rassurer sur le bon déroulement du séjour, bref, elle s'est occupé de mon fils comme d'un des siens. Je recommande vivement cette expérience.

Super séjour, super famille !

Bonjour à tous, Je tiens à vous partager mon expérience dans cette famille. Alors voilà, je suis parti durant 2 semaines dans leur famille et honnêtement, je ne savais pas comment ça allait se passer vu que c'était la première fois que je faisais un voyage linguistique. Mais quand je suis arrivé ils ont tous été très chaleureux avec moi. Durant ces deux semaines on a fait un grand nombre d'activités et je peux vous dire que je ne me suis pas ennuyé. J'ai aussi énormément progressé en anglais, en très peu de temps. Bref si vous cherchez une famille chaleureuse, bienveillante, sympathique et attachante je pense qu'ils sont les mieux placés.
