Learn with Mummy has been teaching English to children and very young children for almost 15 years. We were the first to offer Playgroups for children and parents, and though many loved the idea and tried to do the same, we still are the only ones offering Playgroups for children and parents 0-6 yo.
We believe this is the best way to help families achieve a natural acquisition of English as a second language, or, as we say… 100% Natural English.
These are the key elements of our approach:
1. We don’t teach English, we Play English!
At Learn with Mummy we teach children through Playgroup. 0 to 6 years old attend the Playgroup with their parents. Primary school children attend without parents. The playgroups are extremely playful experiences, we use our skills (and a few tricks) to allow children to be engaged in play while keeping some structure and avoiding mayhem.
The results are exhilarating.
Children play with energy and learn without even realizing it
2. Children and parents are in this together
At Learn with Mummy we believe in teaching English to children with and through their parents, even if the parents don’t speak English themselves! Yes, it does sound like magic but really it is just about having the right approach and methodology.
Parents engagement will help English become part of the family’s life and will create a strong emotional imprint of English. In other words, children will love the language because they love the experiences they live through the language.
Teachers will guide, support and motivate parents. They will know when to ask more and when to let it be. At all times, teachers will construct a collaborative relationship with the parents.
During our training we dedicate a lot of time to this aspect, which is central to our method.
3. English only. Always.
The teacher speaks only English. All the time. No exception.
Yes it is possible.
Of course, we do know that using a bit of Italian could make things easier or smoother. But we are not here for an easy or smooth ride. We are here for effective, long term learning.
From a long term perspective, speaking only one language is the best strategy.
Could this be difficult at times?
Of course! There will be difficult moments!
But we have been there for a long time. We have seen it all, and we are ready to help you face any difficulty. Be it a non collaborative child, a unresponsive parent, or your own insecurities.
