About our Student Homestay and Guardianship
For the best interest and privacy of my wards/students, we only offer SINGLE room here!
Our homestay is located in the East of Singapore (15 min. walk to Tanah Merah MRT station) in a 3-storey terrace house (landed housing with a front garden). This is private housing, it is very quiet and cozy, students enjoy a comfortable and private environment in my homestay.
All my wards/students are currently studying in international schools. They are taking school bus to school daily. The school bus will be in front of my house gate to pick up/drop off students daily.
We provide homestay and guardianship services to our students :
• Fully-furnished Single room with air-conditioning ---- Most homestays offer shared room for students -——- This is undesirable, lack of privacy for students.
• To provide best attention and care to my students, we limit to 3 students (as maximum capacity), we only host 3 students in our homestay (all in single-room) ----- Most homestays host many students in multiple shared-room under one roof (can be in rented properties in some cases). They operate like commercial dormitory in a House. ——-- This is undesirable for students. Also Covid-19 infection may spread easily in a big household due to many students within a homestay.
• Guest Room 3 has private attached bathroom inside ----- Most homestays arrange for a few students to share a toilet in the house. -—-- They operate like a commercial hostel / dormitory.
