    Hey,


    Was thinking about taking on some students for the summer, just wondering has any one done this before any advice on which language school to use? We are a young couple in our late twentys so we would rather not take on a young child of 12 or so....

    any advice would be helpful



    thanks

    Try contacting Lawrences school on the N11 just before Cabinteely, many commute to/from Bray.
    You want mid teens, girls tend to be better than the lads BUT they spend an hour in the bathroom!! Lads tend to not come home for dinner and eat at fast food places and do one load of washing in 4 weeks.

    If you get a couple its out to Tesco for their finest cusine (yellow pack everything).

    Hi, i've been taking students for a good few years now, summer is always busy. I'm registered with about 6 schools i'd say. I have no students at present, all the schools are very quiet. I rang around a few others and they are not taking on any new host families. 2 years ago, one of the schools i was with asked me to take camper beds off them so i could take in more students as they were so busy. (disgraceful, i know!) Things have gone very quiet for them. I am in north dublin.

    Things have gone very quiet lately! You could try Brooke House in Bray, students age from 11 up to 15 or so.

    Good luck :)
