Hallo! Bonjour! Hola!

I'm Lisa and I am the franchisee for Lingotot Durham, I am also a mum to two crazy boys, 15 and 8.

I have always been passionate about languages (I blame the chalet school books with their English, German and French days!) and studied German, French and Spanish at GCSE and A-Level. I went on to university and got a degree in modern foreign languages teaching. I have taught various combinations of the 3 languages throughout my career and love the buzz of someone getting something! 

I have always loved discovering new cultures and being able to communicate with people from different countries and love opening my students' eyes to the world around them especially the similarities and differences.  

I enjoy working with children and have found my teaching career to be very rewarding and am loving doing Lingotot full time now, although running a business and teaching in that business is a big job!

At Lingotot Durham we provide German, French and Spanish classes for children aged 0-11 years old. Our multi award winning classes are interactive, friendly and, most importantly, fun; learning is through songs, games, stories, crafts and drama. We offer community classes, nursery classes, after school clubs and primary language provision and currently work with a number of schools in our region. Please get in touch if you would like more information.

Joining Lingotot was the perfect career for me as I could combine my passion for languages with my love of working with children, and being my own boss means I can make sure my own children don't miss out.

Lisa xo
