Programme Description

This programme is designed for students to combine a study programme with the experience of living with a family and assisting in the family home. It is an excellent way to improve communication skills, improve fluency and experience life whilst also living economically during your stay in the UK or Ireland.

Demi Pairs improve their English language skills and our families receive a much needed helping hand around the house! Our economical and professionally run Demi Pair programmes operate all year round.

Berlitz places Demi Pairs in carefully selected and personally visited families. This economical exchange programme enables Demi Pairs to attend English Language Tuition in the mornings and to assist in the family home in the afternoons/evenings for 20 hours per week and 2 nights babysitting per week, in exchange for full board accommodation in a single room in the family home.
