Hallo! Bonjour! Hola!

I'm Lisa and I am the franchisee for Lingotot Durham, I am also a mum to two crazy boys, 17 and 9.

I have always been passionate about languages (I blame the chalet school books with their English, German and French days!) and studied German, French and Spanish at GCSE and A-Level. I went on to university and got a degree in modern foreign languages teaching. I have taught various combinations of the 3 languages throughout my career and love the buzz of someone getting something!

At Lingotot Durham we provide German, French and Spanish classes for children aged 0-11 years old. Our multi award winning classes are interactive, friendly and, most importantly, fun; learning is through songs, games, stories, crafts and drama. We are now a team of 4 staff and offer primary language provision, nursery classes, after school clubs, holiday camps, breakfast and lunch clubs, home education lessons and community classes. We work with the following settings:-

1. East Rainton Primary School
2. Hetton Primary School
3. Easington Lane Primary School
4. Wheatley Hill Primary School
5. Witton Gilbert Primary School
6. Durham High School for Girls
7. St. Oswald's CE Primary School
8. St. Margaret's CofE Primary School
9. St. Mary Magdalens RCVAPS, Seaham
10. Coxhoe Primary School
11. Framwellgate Moor Primary School
12. Neville's Cross Primary School
13. Seaview Primary School
14. Our Lady of Lourdes RCVAPS*
15. Child's Play, Seaham*

Joining Lingotot was the perfect career for me as I could combine my passion for languages with my love of working with children, and being my own boss means I can make sure my own children don't miss out.
