If you love meeting new people and helping them learn, offering homestay language immersion stays or hosting foreign students is the perfect way to bring in some extra money without having someone permanently living in your home.
Under current U.K. tax saving rules you can earn up to £7,500 per year, that’s £625 per month, tax free by renting out a furnished room in your home through the government rent-a-room scheme.

Lingoo member Philippa Roberts agreed to a quick Q&A to share her hosting experiences.
What made you decide to become a host?
Having been on several language trips myself as a teenager, I very much wanted the same opportunities for my own children. They were too young at the time I started hosting but I figured that having a stream of European youngsters in our home would make language travel the most natural thing in the world to them when their time came. The fact that I could earn a small income from it too was a bit of a bonus.

Thousands of British expats living in France have an opportunity to turn their spare bedrooms into a source of income.
The opportunity comes in the shape of French students under the age of 18 who are learning English. Many are willing to pay to stay in the home of a native English speaker to improve their language skills intensively.
Host families charge for food and accommodation. Optional extras, such as tuition, day trips and sports activities, are priced accordingly. Qualified English teachers charge a premium for structured lessons.
