HELLO, I'M ELAINE AND I'M ENGLISH!

MY CAREER STARTED IN ENGLAND, UK. I WORKED FOR VARIOUS BANKS SPANNING OVER 13 YEARS.
I THEN MOVED TO SPAIN AND MANAGED A SPORTS CLUB THAT SPECIALISED IN RUNNING KIDS' CAMPS THROUGH THE SCHOOL HOLIDAYS.
CURRENTLY, I OFFER THE TOP FLOOR OF MY HOME TO GUESTS THROUGH AIRBNB AND I AM A SELF-EMPLOYED SEAMSTRESS!
I AM A MOTHER OF TWO TEENAGERS THAT ARE BILINGUAL IN BOTH ENGLISH AND SPANISH. THEY ATTEND SPANISH INSTITUTOS IN MARBELLA .

I AM FULLY QUALIFIED TO TEACH ENGLISH AND I AIM TO OFFER A MORE INTERESTING AND EFFECTIVE WAY OF IMMERSING YOU IN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE!

ALONG WITH THE EXPERIENCE I HAVE GAINED THROUGH WORK AND FAMILY LIFE AND THE ADDED ADVANTAGE OF HAVING A SPARE ROOM I WOULD LIKE TO OFFER YOU AN OPPORTUNITY TO LIVE WITH US HERE FOR A WEEK OR EVEN TWO, IN OUR HOME, ABSORBING THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE THROUGH LISTENING, READING AND CONVERSATION.

WE ARE A WARM AND FRIENDLY FAMILY THAT TRULY VALUES THE SPANISH CULTURE, ITS PEOPLE AND OUR BEAUTIFUL SURROUNDINGS.
HOWEVER, BEING A TYPICALLY BRITISH FAMILY, WE CARRY OUT A VERY BRITISH WAY OF LIFE AND ROUTINE IN OUR HOME.
FOR EXAMPLE, THE TELEVISION SHOWS ENGLISH TV CHANNELS, OUR CONVERSATION IS IN ENGLISH ONLY, ANY READING MATERIAL IS IN ENGLISH, MANY FRIENDS THAT POP ROUND FOR A CUP OF TEA ARE ENGLISH.

MY INTENTION IS TO WELCOME SECONDARY LEVEL STUDENTS KEEN TO IMPROVE THEIR CONVERSATION ENGLISH AND RECEIVE ONE TO ONE HELP WITH THEIR STUDIES AT AN INTENSE LEVEL. THERE ARE SO MANY PRACTICAL WAYS TO IMPROVE ONES ENGLISH WHEN LIVING WITH A NATIVE HOST, FROM BUYING GROCERIES TO BAKING PIZZAS!

BUSINESS STUDENTS AND/OR EMPLOYEES REQUIRING A MORE CAPTIVATING AND METHODOLOGICAL APPROACH TO LEARNING ENGLISH CAN BE ACCOMMODATED ALSO.

IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN LIVING WITH AN ENGLISH HOST FAMILY, LOCATED IN MARBELLA, ON THE COSTA DEL SOL, PLEASE CONTACT ME FOR MORE DETAILS WITH REGARDS TO SCHEDULES, DATES, ACCOMMODATION AND PRICES.
