I hate to be the bearer of bad news but many organizations have suspended their programs to England/Scotland/Wales/UK due to a difficulty in getting student visas. That being said, there are options for other exchanges, even English-speaking ones.
If you don't have your heart completely set on England: If I may, I would like to cast a vote to going with Youth For Understanding (YFU). I am a 5-time host mom and volunteer with YFU. When I have asked exchange students why they chose YFU, I get the following answers: (1) YFU gave them more bang for their buck and/or (2) someone they knew and trusted recommended YFU. 95% of the fees collected by YFU go for direct program costs (airline tickets, support in hosting country, etc.). YFU has been around for 59 years and has learned how to make exchanges successful.
Which ever program you choose, make sure they are listed with the Council for Standards on International Educational Travel (csiet.org). They routinely audit programs for quality.
YFU has English-speaking programs to Australia, Ghana, India, and South Africa. In addition, there are a couple dozen other countries that do not require previous language study. You can check this out on the website (yfu-usa.org).
If you go to the yfu website (yfuusa.org), you can request additional information. You can also email me.
I hope this helped.
Good luck to you no matter what you choose!

I feel you can also simply must wait to get your measure. Once you've got it you'll observe for the JET software, which you'll journey to Japan and instruct english with a earnings of 3000 USD/mo and your flight. Can you no longer get a role and keep up? A Flight to Japan ( from NYC / LA is inexpensive) in off season is round 1200 if you're fortunate, plus let's imagine a month in a guesthouse in a massive town could might be be approximately 500 bucks. Daily meals may also be performed for 15 dollars/day if you do not brain consuming ramen noodles a couple of instances every week. So you'll have one month in japan for round 2100 (there are different bills reminiscent of transportation) I imply thats no longer too high priced for one month, and undoubtedly you've got multiple month off for the duration of your entire yr? At eight$/hr for a 40hr week for one million month is 1300. So you'll be able to simply must keep. A lot of the alternate techniques have a 2000 price, so thats loopy. Hope you discover some way!
