English and Demi Pair in Adelaide or Melbourne with SACE
SACE pioneered this English & Demi‐Pair programme in Australia.This programme involves full time English classes while living with an Australian family who you will help with taking care of the children and also some light housework assistance. In exchange, you will receive a room and full board (three meals per day seven days per week).
A Demi‐Pair typically assists the family for 15 hours per week. You will have at least one full day off per week.
This is a great opportunity to make friends and really improve your English while fully experiencing an Australian lifestyle.
