β β β β β Advice from a New Zealander living in Auckland.
Avoid sending your children to New Zealand in a home stay situation. We have awful housing standards (moulding, cold damp homes), and our government is struggling to ensure education provider's are offering quality education.
It's a big problem in New Zealand, they see this as a source of income and not a responsibility. And typically 1 in 2 New Zealanders are financially struggling, so they probably couldn't afford to look after themselves, nevermind an additional mouth to feed.
Until New Zealand sorts out it's socioeconomic issues, I would suggest avoiding homestay situations all together.
It's probably better to learn English in Australia or Canada.

β β β β β Education First scam on study abroad!
In master management to EM Lyon, i've had the misfortune to choose EF (education first) for a study abroad two months in New Zealand. My goal was to prepare the test TOEIC . On the paper i'd bought a stay for adults, professional and framework (+25 years) with housing homestay for good work English. Result: 1. No preparation TOEIC 2. Class crowded with teenage 13 to 20 years 3. Homestay horrible in the family where I have had to reside (lack food, prohibition to use the kitchen and fridge, prohibition out the business of my suitcase, wake up every day at 4:30 am ...) 4. family who spoke Hindi and non-English. At my return, when I have written EF to request damages suffered they have not not deigned answer, when I have raised by phone they simply said they said no compensation and denied any problem. I'm not a isolated case, some of my colleagues there low were housed by EF in House infested of harmful (cockroaches, mouse, bed bugs ..) other had to sleep outside in the garden home because the family refused to open the door when they returned in the evening (before midnight) I share with you this horrible experience so it can at least serve you if one day you are looking for a study abroad. EF -> flee !!!!

β β β β β I did 7 months in EF Auckland, and I can say it was the best school staff I have seen in my life, good structure and modern class, nice experience.
The school offers good activities, and I can say the school it's like a family with you.
Thank

β β β β β EF's teacher is ok. But the accommodation is terrible! Most of the host families are Indian immigrants, you must not expect that you can practice your English with them. I am a girl, but I was arranged in a family which lived four men(a husband, two adult boys and a 15 years boy). It's very inconvienient. Sometimes they use our toilet and doesn't flush it, sometimes they hold a party in the midnight beside our room. My host family will never support enough food, and they never cook anything over the weekend even though my costs include weekends foods. And what's more, one day when I came back, I found all my cloth were thrown on the dirty carpet in the living room, incloude my pajamas and bra, and I lost my bag. I told those situations to EF's staff, they just told me if I want to change family I need to find another family by myself. Most of my classmate who lived in accomdation have the bad experiences too. They rarely clean bedrooms ,and two of my classmates were bitten by bite-bug! Overall, it was a terrible experience, and I'll never suggest any of my friend to choose this campus.

β β β β β This is the best experience I could ever have the staff is the coolest and nice people also all the teachers are great and they explain you every doubt that you could have. I got the hosfamily plan and it was amazing they were warming and very kind with me. Everyone is looking after you and this totally reach my standards. And also they had a perfect management quality. I recommend 100% percent.

β β β β β Kia Ora β€οΈ My name is Roberth, traveling with EF Ecuador was one of the best decisions I have ever made, my destination was EF Auckland - New Zealand. I am going to summarize all the wonderful things that I have experienced and continue to live in this incredible country, I met many special people from all over the world.?β€οΈ I chose this destination also because they gave me the opportunity to work and do you know anything? I did it! I had a job in a restaurant and thanks to that I got more experience. But the most extraordinary thing for me was working at the school as an intern student that has been the most exciting thing I could do here. Also, I have known beautiful paradises that New Zealand has ??, I am very happy to continue here and above all because my English has improved in a surprising way. And you, what are you waiting for to make the best decision in your life? don't be afraid and just do it.

β β β β β such an awful experience ! . Teachers go very quick and don't focus a lot on team work. The homes chosen by EF are located more than 1 hour by public transit. Not worth the price. It is such a scam ! All activities are not included even the activities mentioned that EF mentioned free. I asked to change host family as soon as possible because the first host family was awful non hygienic food was gross and the house was dirty and had bugs in the house the room was dirty and humid it was so bad that i asked to be changed now they said we don't change like this so I complained the next day and they finally accepted it. I had to pay $300 to get a new host family. Also paying extra for meals that are included in the price. I went with EF twice before and it was good. I will never go with EF anymore such a horrible experience. I always wanted to go to new Zealand and EF made this trip who costed more than 5kβ¬ a real nightmare. The best award for scam abroad goes to EF. The program is not high end and there is miss advertising because they lie on what is included. EF is more like budget holidays but with expensive price tags.

β β β β β If you have the chance to go I definitely recommend it! The teachers are great and you will have a lot of fun, but I wouldn't recommend staying for too long because the same activities and classes happen routinely and the host families generally aren't great.
