Homestay Language Tutor

Company Description Eurolingua Institute SA offers one-to-one language homestay immersion programs abroad in English, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish, exclusively in countries where these languages are spoken nationally. Learners live for 1 to 4 weeks in the home of a qualified Eurolingua Homestay Tutor, gaining total linguistic and cultural immersion. Programs include quality accommodation, all family meals, local visits, and excursions, creating a rich environment for language practice. Participants receive 15 to 25 hours of structured language lessons per week, combined with social and cultural activities and interaction with the tutor’s family and friends. The institute focuses on helping learners return home with significantly improved fluency and cultural understanding.
Role Description The Homestay Language Tutor is a full-time remote role, providing immersive language instruction from their own home in a country where the target language is spoken. Day-to-day tasks include planning and delivering structured one-to-one lessons, organizing practice activities, and supporting conversational fluency in everyday situations. The tutor hosts learners as part of their household, participates in shared meals, and accompanies learners on local visits and excursions that reinforce language and cultural learning. The role also involves assessing learner needs, monitoring progress, and adjusting teaching methods to suit individual goals and proficiency levels. Tutors are expected to maintain a welcoming, safe, and inclusive home environment throughout each homestay.
