A chance to use English in real life experiences

Natural Science: Looking for a great day out that's educational, too? Inspire your budding scientist with a group trip to the Natural Science Museum, Zoo, or a Forest Day.
Culture: A visit to a theatre, museum or gallery can really help a subject come to life for a child. Who doesn’t remember the first time they saw a live performance? Or an ancient Egyptian mummy?
Technology: Screen-free, hands-on day trips. Focused on technology activities helping children learn more about how to use technology to solve problems, rather than just for entertainment.
FAQs
Do you have any questions?
I teach the British National Curriculum, which in turn will prepare students for English Key Stage 1 and 2 final exams. Personally, I don't test students, but would help locate a test centre for parents to apply for SATs exams for the end of Key Stage 2 (11+).
As FamiLingua follows the English and German school academic calendars, the academic year begins in August and ends in July. Joining part-way through the academic year is not a problem; after discussing what material has been missed with the teacher, your child will have access to all lesson archives from the beginning of the year, so they can catch up on any missed content.
Emergent Reader lessons are 30 minutes, once a week.
Key Stage 1 lessons are 45 minutes, once a week.
Key Stage 2 lessons are 1 hour, once a week.
To attend live lessons, your child will need a writing notepad, a laptop or desktop computer with up-to-date software, a stable broadband connection, and a working camera and microphone. A pair of headphones are beneficial to focusing, but not essential. Parents and students will be informed of learning materials (if required) for each curriculum in advance via email, with ample time to prepare beforehand.
These classes do not teach English as a foreign language, I instruct lessons in English. For the benefit of the pace of the lesson and the children already enrolled, students need to have a certain level of understanding and speak English when they start out.
Payments are invoiced monthly and payable by bank transfer.
