We are excited to introduce you to our guiding principles, objectives, and pedagogical approach for teaching after-school Spanish to your child.
Our Course Objectives: Our primary objective is to guide children towards bilingualism. To achieve this, we employ a comprehensive array of strategies.
Inner Motivation: We firmly believe that teaching driven by inner motivation yields the best results. Personal desire acts as the engine of progress. Positive student-teacher relationships, coupled with meaningful interactions, are pivotal. This is the core of our teaching philosophy.
Early Start: Beginning language learning at a young age is advantageous. Young minds absorb knowledge intuitively, making early exposure crucial.
Passionate Teachers: Learning requires educators who are both passionate about teaching and love working with children. Excellent pedagogical skills are vital to present topics in an engaging manner, fostering understanding and excitement. Establishing a personal connection with students cultivates a desire to learn.
Immersion: We emphasize immersion from the outset as the optimal language acquisition approach. Gradually, students adapt to thinking in Spanish, bypassing mental translation. Although initial progress may be gradual, this method fosters long-term language assimilation.
Professional Teaching Approach
Engaging Curriculum: While our classes are enjoyable, they maintain a structured and systematic framework, often utilizing educational resources. Pedagogy emphasizes that any system should serve the individual, enhancing the importance of skilled educators.
Quality Over Quantity: Motivation remains central. Our classes focus on more than just knowledge accumulation. Fostering a positive perception of Spanish, nurturing personal growth, and generating enthusiasm elevate every class hour, inspiring further practice, learning, and exploration.
