The Experience

I hope to host someone, who can help me with some basic house work and DIY. Help prepare guest room for Airbnb guests. Help me with some basic cleaning, and painting walls, and generally filling time doing 'odd jobs' around my home. I am a relaxed individual, and open to making sure you get what you want out of your visit to the area. I am a teacher by profession and I will provide English lessons, as well as general chat throughout the day.

John`s heart is full of love, honesty and fun. I felt so welcome from the very first second. His tasks were never impossible. He led, but not in a domineering way. Every opinion and idea counts for him. I am very thankful for this days. He took the pressure off me, to speak in a foreign language. Mistakes are important and okay. Thanks a lot. It was my first trip to the UK and it will stay in my mind 4 ever. Big hug! :) PS: Also thousand thanks to Nuria. Lovely person and best cook. <3

John is definitely the best host you could ever have. He focuses on your goals by first starting the experience by asking you what your goal is. For anyone looking to learn English like I did, I highly recommend him because he is extremely patient and speaks slowly. He explains mistakes and helps a lot with learning. In addition, John helped us with tours and sought balance at all times between our use of time on the project and our own fun. He will definitely be someone I will always keep in my heart. John, thank you very much!

Wonderful. This word could best describe my stay at John's house. If you've read his profile, you'll know who John is and what his project is. Just read it and decide if you want to be part of the team. This experience has been a gift in my life. It will be forever. Thank you so much, John!

Thanks John for everything ! It was a really good experience. John is a kind person who makes you feel comfortable. If you apply to this you need to know that you're gonna live with another person and be confortable with this. The work I had to do was easy and well explained. The flat is next to the beach and a bit far away from the city center but it's a nice place. You can easily take free day to visit some places around. I recommend you this if you want to learn English and live with a local ;) 🫶🏼🫶🏼
