The Homestay Voice is an opportunity to glance into the experiences of our homestay who are welcoming International students here in Cardiff. This testimonial is a first-hand reflection of the impression on our homestay provider for hosting students in their home.

At Celtic English Academy we value our homestay’ feedback, opinions and experience always using them to refine and improve the experiences for our future students.
