Located in Port Moody, Canada
Hello, my name is Sue Dupuis, and I am a verified Homestay Host. My friends would describe me as kind, caring, happy and enthusiastic. I am retired International ESL teacher with 35 years of experience in teaching. I have also taught Intensive ESL at the Elementary level, and taught grade one in the Mandarin Bilingual Program as the English teacher. I spent many years teaching kindergarten and grade one. I presently have one Canadian student residing with me upstairs, who will be staying 3 more years and is doing Nuclear Medicine. This student is also a care-aid.
I have two grown sons, and have 2 cats (Tux & Tigi). I have just learned how to play bridge and love it! I enjoying walk daily and am very much into health and fitness. I am a vegetarian.
My home is only 5km from Douglas College and 12km from Simon Fraser University. I am 2.6km from Eagle Ridge Hospital and 4.8km from Coquitlam Center (for shopping). There are many lakes, parks and trails for the outdoor enthusiast and only 5 minutes away. There are ample coffee shops, great restaurants, Farmer's Markets, Hair & Nail Salons, local gyms, and more in the City of Port Moody. Everything you need or want is available in my quaint neighborhood. My home is in safe location and I have lived here happily for 34 years.
As mentioned, I presently have one female student who is friendly and quiet, goes to VCC (Vancouver Community College) by train. My home will be a quiet place for you study and relax.
I will provide a warm and friendly welcome to any female student who would like to be in an all-girl home. The large bedroom is on the third floor, has great view of trees and mountains. There is queen-sized bed, a closet, desk and dresser drawer set as well as a side table, night lamp and overhead fan/light. There is a blackout curtain in this bedroom as well. The bathroom is directly across the hall from the bedroom, with a large walk-in glass shower. The bathroom will be shared with only one other person. The family room has a large television for you to watch your favourite shows. My home is neat, tidy, and clean.
I am really looking forward to hearing from you!
Warmest regards,
Sue
