Learn with Mummy Smart is for everybody who wants to start a teaching profession or to acquire new skills as a teacher.

It is for career changers who would like to drop the corporate world and start a new profession to balance work and personal life while nurturing their skills and passions.

For teachers who work with adults and would like to work with children with a proven methodology.

For school teachers, who want their work to have a stronger, long lasting, impact on children’s lives.

For anyone who loves children, has a very strong command of the English language, and wants to teach.

What you do NEED:

Love for children and a proactive attitude are necessary requirements for all Learn with Mummy teachers.

Native or near native command of the English language, i.e. C2 or equivalent, is required. Book a call to discuss whether this is right for you.

What you do NOT Need:

It is not necessary to register an individual business. (Note concerning Italy: Legal requirements for individual businesses – Partita IVA- depend on the volume of income you generate within the fiscal year. A facilitated tax system for small businesses might be worth considering: Regime Forfettario. You are advised to consult an expert – commercialista – for fiscal advice).

You do not need a dedicated location. You can rent a suitable location for the hours that you need. As part of the training you will receive clear instructions regarding what constitutes a suitable location and how to negotiate a price for it.

Upon entering the program you can style yourself as

Learn with Mummy Teacher in Training

After successfully completing the Smart 2025 training you will receive the

Learn with Mummy Smart Teacher – Down Under (3-6 yo) – Certificate

Training certifications are valid only while the teacher remains under an active license agreement. In the event of termination or resignation, the certificates lose their validity and cannot be used to market services under the Learn with Mummy brand.

If you study and practice you will become an excellent teacher and you will deliver outstanding quality to your little students and to their parents. You’ll want to be part of a team equally committed to quality and on creating real long lasting impact.

In order to guarantee that you will always be part of a quality focussed network, all teachers will go through a multi-step assessment process. Also, teachers are allowed to withdraw from the programme, with partial reimbursement. Those who stay are committed.

The quality assessment is so structured:

Pre Enrolment: before signing up you will have a 1 on 1 call with our Learn with Mummy Program Advisor to assess whether this is the right project for you and whether you meet the requirements.

Checkpoint 1 (by June 6th): after the first two Single Study Sessions, and before going into the pragmatical aspects of how to structure a proposal for your clients, you can decide to withdraw. If you have paid in a single instalment you will receive a refund of 50% of what you paid. If you paid only one instalment, you will not be asked to pay anything else.

Checkpoint 2 (by July 19th): after completing the Second Live Session you will receive individual feedback. If it is positive you will continue the training. Should the assessment not be positive, you will be asked to do more study and you will have to resubmit the assignments by September 15th at the latest in order to continue the training. Should you not pass the Checkpoint 2 Assessment you will be asked to leave the programme. If you have paid in a single instalment you will receive a refund of 25% of what you paid. If you paid only two instalments, you will not be asked to pay anything else.

The books and materials will be shipped to you after Checkpoint 2 or once full payment has been received, whichever occurs later.

Final Assessment: by April 2026 you will have to go through a final assessment, which includes filming a Playgroup, writing a short essay to reflect on your learning and experience and participate in a centrally conduct feedback exercise. Should the final assessment be positive, you will receive a Learn with Mummy Smart Teacher certificate. If not, you might retake the assessment once.

This process guarantees that your peers, the Learn with Mummy Smart teachers, will always be real peers you do want to work with and be associated to.

You can stop here and keep teaching what you have learned if this works for you.
If you want to take it further, you have two options:

1. Upgrade to the Pro Plan – By the end of January of your first teaching year, you can switch to the Smart or Pro programs, and the fees you’ve already paid will be deducted from the total cost.
2. Continue Your Training – You can choose to stay in Smart and deepen your learning by enrolling in further training.

This approach offers maximum flexibility, allowing you to explore the experience, test the waters, and decide how much commitment feels right for you.

Schedule a preliminary call to assess your fit with the programme.

Our Program Advisor will assess your command of the English language, your understanding of the Program and your motivation.

After the Program Advisor’s assessment, you will be sent an offer to enrol and a brand and content licensing agreement. If eligible you will be offered an early bird discount, which can lead to savings of more than 450 Euros + VAT.

Enrolments are open from March 25th 2025 to September 3rd 2025.
Anybody enrolling after June the 30th might be required to attend the in person Session, see schedule and objectives in the detailed programme.
