¡Hola! Salut!
My name is Sophie and I live in lovely Matlock with my husband and my three children who are 10, 7 and 4.
I have always loved languages from a young age after family holidays camping in France. I can remember the excitement of looking at signs and leaflets and being able to understand different words. I studied French and Spanish at A Level and continued my Spanish studies at the University of Leeds. One year of my degree was spent studying in beautiful and exciting Mexico where I did lots of exploring and visiting cities, coasts and ancient ruins. I wanted to share my passion for languages and culture with others and so I became a secondary school teacher and taught in two brilliant schools for 13 years.
I absolutely love teaching, but I have always believed that language learning should start earlier than secodary school and so I decided to look into how I could share my passion with children of a similar age to my own children. My girls, aged 10 and 7, have shown a real interest in learning Spanish since I have set up my Lingotot franchise after seeing me practising lots of songs and I have been impressed with how well they have picked them up after only a few times of hearing them. I am so excited to bring this to our local community and hopefully inspire lots of local little linguists!
Lingotot lessons are a delightful mix of songs, games, stories and crafts and are taught almost entirely in another language. Grown ups do not need any prior knowledge and will not be made to speak at all (unless they want to!) in Spanish or French. The structured lessons are delivered in an interactive way to encourage understanding and instil a love of language learning. You will have so much fun learning a new skill alongside your little one.
Lingotot Matlock will be offering community classes for children 0-4 and their grown ups, lessons in nurseries and pre-schools and KS1& KS2 Primary lessons.
If you're interested in sessions for you, your family members or your educational setting then please get in touch with me via matlock@lingotot.com
Gracias / Merci

Matlock reviews
Thank you for inspiring so many children!
Sophie delivered an assembly at our school for pupils aged Y1 to Y6. It was fun, educational, engaging for all ages - including our staff! It was clear through her incredible enthusiasm that she is very passionate about teaching languages; she was great with all of the children! Everyone left the assembly having learnt some new words and phrases in several languages. Thank you for inspiring so many children Sophie! Muchas gracias. Merci beaucoup.

Engaging, varied, upbeat and enjoyable
Sophie provides a unique opportunity for toddlers to begin learning Spanish from a young age! Sophie is very friendly, and the children warm to her immediately. Her classes are engaging, varied, upbeat and enjoyable. The children have time to play games in Spanish, listen to stories in Spanish and make crafts with their friends. My two year old daughter and I look forward to Lingotots every week and at home my daughter enjoys singing the songs we've learnt with Sophie, all in Spanish!

She LOVES it!
Thank you soooooo much for the session updates. It is so lovely to hear how the children have got on! This is my daughter's second lesson and she LOVES it!!! Last week I was so surprised when I picked her up and she was using Spanish words!!! Soooo impressed! My sister lives in Spain and so her cousins are bilingual so she is very excited to tell them what she has learnt! Muchas gracias a ti.
