Who we are
We are a Christian Korean couple with a 5-year-old. I'm a public school (English) teacher, and my husband is a programmer. On weekdays, my son and I leave home at 7:30am, come home around 5:30 pm and go to bed between 6:30 -7:30pm so he won't be too bothersome to live with. :-)
English Language Learning
I am an English teacher at a public school and would be happy to help you with your English. I can provide tutoring. I am happy to offer 10mins during dinner to help you with your schoolwork.
Travel to Auckland City Central
Remuera is an affluent neighbourhood in Auckland. It is located only four kilometres from the city centre. Bus stops, supermarkets, restaurants, and shops are 5 min-10 min walking distance from home, and the train station is 20 min walking distance from home. As we are one of the closest suburbs to City Central, travel time and the bus fee (as the NZ bus fee is expensive) to City Central will be considerably less than living in other areas.
House
a big new house with four bedrooms and three bathrooms. The Homestay family lives upstairs, and we have a separate downstairs area with their own bathroom and a living room for the homestays for privacy.
Safety

A central heat pump (aircon) also warms up the house.
