¡Hola!

My name is Jaclyn and I run Lingotot Gravesend. I have family in Andalucía in Spain and we visit often, so Spanish has always been part of my life and is a reason I studied it from a young age. It’s wonderful being able to dive into another culture and I wanted that same opportunity for my son. I looked for classes in the area but couldn’t find any for his age, and decided to use my Spanish to teach and set up my own branch of Lingotot.

There really is an advantage to introducing children to languages at a young age, they soak them up very quickly as they're constantly hearing new sounds in English, and so adding another language in as well at a young age means it's easier for them to learn and they have less of an accent. Our Lingotot classes are full of fun with songs, stories, games and crafts, it's such a great way for the children to learn, and before they realise it, they will have learnt many new words. I think it is wonderful that I will be able to play a part in children’s enjoyment of languages and I love teaching my little Lingotots!

I'm so pleased to have won several awards (Best for Learning in Kent in the Hoop Awards, Lingotot's Best New Franchisee & Shooting Star awards) as well as having been shortlisted for the Club Hub awards, WOFK and Kent Women In Business awards.

We run a number of different types of classes from helping schools with their MFL curriculum provision and providing PPA cover, to teaching in nurseries and running after school clubs, all for ages 0-11 years.

Don't forget to keep up to date with everything we're doing by following us on Facebook at Lingotot Gravesend and if you have any questions, please get in touch!

!Hasta pronto!

Jaclyn
