Company Summary

ehostfamily has two revenue streams: 1) 15% commission based on each student-host transaction in addition to a $150 application fee. 2) sales of our services (tutoring, mentorship, and college counseling) via our host families after training them.

We would like to bring our offline business to online, beginning in NY. By focusing our energy and growing our clientele in NY, we plan to replicate our success later when we expand to other states.
