Susie and her family has welcomed me warmly to their home in Shanghai. Diandian has really good English skills and an energetic kid. We mixed fun activities while doing our lessons. Thanks to Susie, I was able to meet other locals in the community and gave me a better perspective of the life in Shanghai. The hours are quite reasonable and Susie is flexible with the schedule, which I greatly appreciate. Thank you so much for this immersive experience that I’ll never forget.

I was with Susie for about 2 months as an English tutor. I was living at her parents' in her hometown in Xiangtan. It was in a rural area, but I got the full Chinese experience and was welcomed as a family member by her parents. I got 3 meals a day and a floor for myself. My tutoring experience was great and I could do in-person and online lessons. I would recommend Susie as a host and don't forget to have an open mind for new experiences.

The stay was great! It was my first time volunteering abroad so I was a bit nervous about it. Susie is very welcoming host as well as her family. The grandma's cooking was great, the home and my room were cozy and everyone were really helping. I always had a schedule for the week. Sometimes the schedule was changing, but still all the changes could be discussed and adapted for you. My main focus was on conducting private English lessons for children and teens and I also had an opportunity to work at a kindergarten with toddlers! Thanks for the good vibes and full immersion into culture!

Very disappointed. Not as advertised. Hours and tasks not reflective of description. Poor living condition that stunk of cigarette smoke daily. Stay was canceled during the evening without advising me. Found out when returning from a lesson the next day, after check-out hours. I was asked to be dishonest and withold information from clients. I do not at all recommend.
