South Staffordshire Lingotot Centre

 

Bonjour! Guten Tag! ¡Hola!

My name is Amy and I live in Cannock, Staffordshire with my husband Darren and I am a mum to my two boys, Charlie who is 9 and Jack who is 6 and our furry baby Molly the dog. I have always had a love of languages ever since I began learning them at school. After a family holiday to northern France when I was 8 years old, I wanted to be able to speak as many different languages as I could.

I studied French and German at University and worked as a coach courier travelling all over Europe with coach parties and providing a running commentary of our journey! I spent 9 years working as a Secondary School Languages Teacher and more recently I taught Travel and Tourism to adults. 

I have always loved teaching, especially learning through funny songs and rhymes and making children laugh to help them remember. Being a mum, I wanted an opportunity to spend more time with my growing family without sacrificing teaching languages as it is my passion. Finding Lingotot has meant that I can run my own business around the needs of my children and I still get to sing the silly songs and teach languages - it's perfect!

Lingotot classes are fun, interactive and engaging where children have no idea they are learning. Classes are suitable for babies, toddlers, pre schoolers and primary school aged children as well as parents and carers. They are packed with songs, movement and stories all in the target language and are designed to allow the whole family to learn together.

I'm looking forward to seeing you at one of our classes soon!

À bientôt! Auf wiedersehen! ¡Hasta luego!

My daughter loves the classes!

My daughter started Amy's French classes during the Covid-19 pandemic. She has loved the lessons. They are fun full of songs and dancing and totally kid friendly. My daughter looks forward to her French lesson every week! The resources are sent to you with all the vocab as well as extra videos to watch (like PJ Masks in French) and songs etc. It is fab! We will continue to take Amy's classes as long as possible. I love that she has now added an afterschool class time as well. Anyone looking for a foreign language class for their kid should contact Amy

Thank you for doing such a fantastic job!

Amy taught my son French in both Year 5 and Year 6 at primary school. He is now at high school and continues to achieve above expected levels in his French lessons. I believe this is down to having access to a foreign language at a younger age and to Amy's fantastic teaching. Thank you for doing such a fantastic job?

The decision to use Lingotots, and Amy, was one of the easiest decisions I've made this year. I always find that discovering good MFL teachers for primary school difficult, as it needs such expertise and knowledge. Our school has benefitted from having fun, interactive lessons provided both 1:1 and remotely thanks to Amy. Her sessions engage all children through her use of songs, stories and written work. The repetition and routines she uses in her lessons, ensures that children remember the basic skills previously learnt. She also then uses her knowledge of the children to plan where they go next in their languages journey. The children all thoroughly enjoy her lessons and the response to her remote sessions have been very positive. We won't hesitate in using her year after year!!!
