Meet your host family: Samantha-jayne in United Kingdom

Welcome to Samantha and her boys' home.

I host all year round and live with my 4 boys and our dogs. 😊

Myself and my eldest son are qualified teachers.

Please see our reviews ❤️

Hello 😁, from Samantha-Jayne and family - we have hosted foreign students for over 7 years. We live near the BEACH in Bognor Regis. We always communicate on What's App with your family and send them photos each day. We love meeting new students and people from all over the world! We have a 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 outdoor tennis and the beach.

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 flight or train arrivals and Departures, between 10am-4pm). We use trains and car for transport or walk locally.

I have 4 boys aged 12, 16, 18, and 20, 3 lovely dogs (2 sausage dogs, 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 to many places. My son and I work together so we will both work with you during your stay.

We regularly visit-

London- Buckingham Palace, Big Ben, LEICESTER SQUARE, tower bridge, Covent Garden etc.

Harry Potter studio tours (must be pre-booked months ahead for this).

Portsmouth- Navy Ships and submarine museum, Spinnaker tower etc.

We teach English lessons and each student goes home with the written work they have done. We give daily updates and photos to parents via what's app. We are English and speak English as primary language.

NOTE: I sometimes take 2 students from France or other countries. I have very strict rules of ONLY SPEAKING ENGLISH while with us, but obviously help out where needed! ❤️😁

We do not offer the Total Immersion Guarantee, so there may be other students who speak the same language as you during the stay.

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. ☺️

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.
