How young can my child learn a second language?

 

This is a great question. Parents may think that teaching a child a second language will slow down the process of language development and they may be worried that it will be confusing. However, research overwhelmingly supports teaching second languages early, because as we know it’s harder to learn a second language as we get older. But when kids are very young, they are very ripe for receiving new information. That’s where I can help you as I have the International House Very Young Learners’ certificate but more importantly, teaching the littlest of the little is my great passion and niche. It certainly helps having my own little one in tow. In some of my classes, she even plays the role of “my little helper”. My classes are prepared for kids as young as three, right through to 12 years old.

About me

I have the CELTA (Certificate in English Language Teaching to Adults), the International House Certificate in Teaching Very Young Learners and over 13 years of experience teaching English to kids and teenagers right through to adults of all levels and ages both online and face to face. I also have a bachelor’s degree in French and Spanish and a master’s degree in specialized and technical translation, so languages have always been one of my passions. And, last but not least, I’ve recently completed a post-graduate degree in psychology, which has allowed me to understand how the human mind works. In fact, teaching is all about psychology and understanding your students’ needs, adapting your teaching techniques to meet them and connecting with the pupils you have in your class.

Will my child get the same quality of education with online learning?

This is another great question! The pandemic has changed the world and many of us have made the switch to online learning. But what about our children? Maybe you’re worried that your child won’t get the same quality of education online as with face-to-face classes. You’ll be pleased to learn that there are many surprising benefits of online English classes. In fact, you’ll discover that in some ways online classes are even better than face-to-face classes, so keep reading:

Getting stuck in trafiic on the way to your child’s English class will be a thing of the past. Your child’s online English classes can be taken from anywhere, anytime. You’ll save on time, which is great news for busy parents! You can use the time to do something else or simply relax and have some me time!

Online lessons can be taken from anywhere. You can even be in another city or country.
All you need is a tablet or a laptop and you’re good to go!

The Internet provides an unlimited source of educational resources and materials, such as videos, games and other digital tools that are not usually available in the traditional classroom setting. This results in a more dynamic and personalized educational experience.

Online classes are very different from face-to-face classes. Face-to-face communication is easier due to body language and the ability to use eye contact to show whom you’re talking to. However, when in an online class, children are looking at everyone on screen at the same time, which forces them to use more words to communicate with other students. Therefore, taking online classes actually allows them to discover new ways of communicating with clarity and this boosts our kids’ communication skills!

With online learning, there’s no doubt your children will learn a few computer and internet tricks, all of which will be useful for them when they enter the job market because computer literacy is a must for nearly every job these days. As a result, your kids will be fluent in the two most important skills needed for 21st century survival: English and digital technology.

Studies have shown that kids do better in school when their parents are interested and involved in their education because it allows them to feel secure and confident, which helps them to absorb the learning material better. Online classes are perfect for parents of young children who want to see their progression. Unlike face-to-face lessons, parents can choose to watch their child’s progress from the same room.

Online classes can easily be recorded so you can observe what your child has learned and see how your child’s getting on. Kids can also use the recordings to review what they’ve studied.

Sara is my favourite teacher. Thanks to her, I am no longer afraid to speak the English language. Sara is an erudite and sensitive person who can speak about any topic. Our classes are very informative. With 2-3 lessons per week you can make excellent progress.

If you want to learn English or need a refresher course, Sara is your teacher! She adapts the classes to your level and is very nice. She always has very interesting exercises to do and each week you build on what you’ve learnt a little more. You end the class feeling like you’ve learnt so much. Try a class and you’ll be sure to sign up for more! 10/10!

Alberto Municio, adult

My daughter has been having classes with Teacher Sara for a while and she has made great progress. Teacher Sara is very good at guiding children to speak and helping them correct grammar and pronunciation. With Teacher Sara’s help, my daughter has acquired a lot of new grammar knowledge and vocabulary and is more willing to speak English. Teacher Sara is amiable and very responsible. Her course ware is also very good. My daughter likes her a lot. She is very motivated in class and will continue to learn. We highly recommend Teacher Sara!

Yim, Rebecca’s mum

During the three years that my daughter has been learning English online, she has met many serious and responsible teachers, but Teacher Sara is still one of the teachers that has impressed me deeply. She gives simple explanations and helps correct any mistakes that arise. With her help, my daughter has made great progress with her speaking and reading skills. Apart from that, she is an easy-going and friendly person. So far we’ve had two very happy years with Teacher Sara and I hope to continue classes with her for a long time to come.
