The Friendship Package: Perfect for couples or friends who want to take a vacation to the United States, and make it an educational opportunity by living within an ESL teacher's home and becoming part of her family.  You can choose to be a student most of the time and a tourist some of the time, or vice versa. You set the agenda, I provide the resources.

The Ambitious Student's Package: Perfect for students who plan to take the TOEFL or TOEIC test. As a teacher, I recommend classroom study in the morning at a local language school, private tutoring in the afternoon, and plenty of listening and speaking practice on evenings and weekends with your homestay family. There is no doubt in my mind; this is THE BEST combination for students who are serious about achieving high scores on these difficult tests. 

The Business Professional's Package: Perfect for business professionals who have plans for business and/or pleasure in the U.S., want the cultural immersion experience of a homestay, and access to a private tutor at all times.  The focus in this package is on business vocabulary, grammar, listening and speaking.  I will introduce you to many helpful sources and offer case studies and local opportunities to practice your new skills.
