GeoVisions - English Conversation Corps Program in Belgium

Description

Conversation Corps Belgium has a focus on cultural exchange. Host families are not only excited to learn English but also love to share the characteristics of their country, culture and cuisine!

Why choose Belgium? By train you will be 1 hour from Amsterdam. You will be 90 minutes from Paris. 2 hours from Cologne and from London. Each weekend you can experience a major European city and a new country. The location is perfect for people who love to travel.

Duties and Responsibilities of Tutors:

* Sharing your language with the host family for at least 15 hours a week. Your schedule can be arranged with your host family in advance or upon arrival.
