My name is Pat, the age doesn’t matter, only to say I’m young at heart with a very good natured, outgoing personality and a willingness to help others. I tend to talk (which is very good for my foreign students), joke a little and laugh a lot as I believe it helps you to enjoy life a little more.
 
I grew up in a small village near Bridlington on the East Coast of Yorkshire where my parents owned a pub for over 25 years, also, taking in guests. I spent my former years helping out in the business, but later qualified as a hair stylist before marrying and moving over to Huddersfield 19 years ago.

It wasn’t long before I hosted my very first student from Singapore, giving me the taste for this special kind of job. Now into my 15th year of hosting students and professionals of all ages and cultures I continue to enjoy the same satisfaction. I’ve always had, taking great pride to create a home from home environment with a fun loving and friendly atmosphere at all times!

I have one 25 year old son whose job is in Banking, he’s a hard working friendly boy with only one weakness: He’s a Leeds United football supporter!

After hosting countless students, by 2006 I was nominated for an Award for services provided in the Community.
