Drogheda & East Meath Lingotot Centre

Welcome to Lingotot Drogheda/East Meath!

My name is Elena Calavia and I am delighted to bring Lingotot to Drogheda and East Meath, sharing my passion for language education with children and adults.

Growing in a multilingual household in Spain I was very fortunate to be able learn French, in addition to my native Spanish, from a very young age so I know first - hand the benefits early exposure to modern languages brings to children.

After a long career in the legal profession I decided to go back to my first love of languages (as I am also qualified to teach), setting up Lingotot Drogheda/ East Meath.

Lingotot Drogheda/ East Meath teaches award - winning classes in Spanish and French in primary schools, pre-schools, and community venues. Our award-winning Lingotot language classes are fun,  interactive, motivating and engaging with songs, games, stories, and crafts all designed to help children learn naturally, without them even realizing they are doing so.

During the Halloween, Easter and Summer school holidays we also offer exciting activity - based holiday camps with a mixture of outdoor and indoor fun activities like treasure hunts and forest school activities while learning the target language. 

We also partner with several primary schools in the Louth and Meath area, delivering the Department of Education " Say Yes to languages" modern language module and have exciting plans for expansion to deliver languages as an after school activity in primary schools.

If you would like us to contact your child's school or preschool directly to offer language classes, we'd love to hear from you also.

We will be also launching our Corporate packages very soon. Please stay tuned and follow our social media for more information.

Lastly, adults are also invited to join us in our French informal beginners conversational classes in the Drogheda Institute of Further Eductaion (DIFE) from the 25th of September 2023.

If you are a teacher and would like to join the Lingotot family please get in touch. We are always on the look out for talented multi-lingual teachers!

Muchas gracias et au revoir!

Elena.

Testimonials

  • From parents

Testimonial from mother of 12 year old with autism attending Lingotot French classes

Dylan is learning French with Lingotot. Elena Calavia is an amazing teacher. She teaches the children through play and art and Dylan loves it. I am so grateful to Elena. She is so inclusive. She just gets him and he adores him. I can't praise Elena and Lingotot enough. If you have a child with additional needs who would be interested in learning Spanish or French please contact Elena. She is so approachable.

Alva, parent of 12 year old with autism attending French classes

Testimonial from parent with Spanish and Irish heritage attending Spanish classes

My child is 7 years old and is half Spanish and half Irish. I have been trying to teach him to speak Spanish at home unsuccessfully because he was not interested at all. The thing is, one can not help feeling the pressure from the family abroad and their disappointment when your son does not speak your native language. I heard about Elena's Spanish classes and I gave it a go. And what a change it made! He really loves going to his Spanish classes and more importantly he is happy there. He gained so much confidence speaking and writing in Spanish. Now we share what he has learned in class and have little conversations at home. I highly recommend Elena and her Spanish classes.

My girls aged 4 and 2 loved their French Parent and Toddler classes. Elena was so relaxed and made the learning fun. My 4 year old has ASD diagnosis and Elena engaged her so well! She still asks when she is going back to" Bonjour"!
