Homestay

Staying with one of our trusted homestay hosts is the perfect way for students to settle into life in the UK for the first time. All of our hosts have been interviewed, and the accommodation they offer has been thoroughly vetted, to ensure it meets our high standards and those set out by the British Council. Great care has been taken to ensure the homestay host's environment is safe, welcoming and comfortable - helping you to feel at home!

The homestay hosts we recruit come from a wide range of social, ethnic and cultural backgrounds - reflecting the diverse cultures that make up Britain today, which gives you a rounded experience of our culture and lifestyle in the UK!

Twin offer a wide range of short and long term courses as well as vocational training programmes and internships. We have selected student hosts who can serve the needs of all types of stay.

The average travel time from homestay accommodation to  our London school is 60 minutes, over a distance of approximately 4 miles.  Students typically take the bus to the school which costs £1.65 each way.
