Meet your host family: Ruth in France

NEW/NOUVEAU !! Welcome to Ruth' home! Experienced teacher and Cambridge examiner can help you.

I enjoy helping people improve their English. And as I am interested in history, I will be happy to show you the local historical sites. If you enjoy country life, the peace and quiet of nature, watching the birds, and relaxing in the garden, you will be happy here. I can provide bikes for you if you want to go exploring alone in the countryside. And I am happy to take you on excursions.

I could accommodate a family group as my second spare bedroom is already furnished with three beds and even has a loft bedroom with children's beds. Normally, I usually host only one person or a couple, in which case, we would use my first spare bedroom that has a double bed. For those who are interested in cycling in the nearby countryside, I can lend bikes.

I am a mother and grandmother, therefore very experienced in family life, but with time on my hands now that the children have flown the nest. I have qualifications and experience in teaching English as a foreign language. My experience includes working with children, teens, and adults, as well as working in teacher training colleges. I am also an experienced Cambridge examiner. We can organize the lessons to be a combination of more serious vocabulary and grammar exercises, as well as including games and activities. It may also be possible to group together with others so that conversations are more interesting with a variety of different people.

Ruth est une personne agréable et gaie qui a très vite compris mes besoins: non devenir bilingue en une semaine (!) mais me remettre dans un bain d'anglais. Elle a su s'adapter à mes capacités et faiblesses car j'avais été malade la veille de mon arrivée chez elle et elle ne me bousculait donc pas quand je n'arrivais plus à parler anglais. Encore un grand merci Ruth!
