Claire Teaches Kids
You know that being able to actually speak English is fundamental for your child's future...but you're at your wits end trying to find a solution for, "Noo, please, not another English lesson!!!"
You're already a super parent, and you are doing everything in your power to ensure the success of your child, and you know that being able to communicate comfortably in English will open up so many doors for them in the future.
​
The problem is that most kids don't get much chance to practice their actual speaking skills. To really learn a language, we have to speak it, just knowing the basic grammar structures and vocabulary words unfortunately isn't enough!
​
You want a no stress for you, fun and motivating for them way to get them learning and speaking English in a way that makes sense for them, so that when they grow up, language won't be a barrier for them on their way to achieving their hopes and dreams.

Am I right? Well dear parent, you're in the right place!
Hi, I'm Teacher Claire!
And I absolutely love teaching kids, in English!
I'm not your standard English teacher. In fact, I'm quite the opposite. I've been helping kids learn English for literally half of my life, and I've learned to do it in a way that makes sense for them - no boring grammar or vocabulary lists to memorize here! To learn a language, you have to speak it - I know from experience, I've learned both Spanish and Italian - and my lessons are no different. I've got a knack for using stories and games to get kids speaking in English, and having fun while they're doing it!
Let's get your child learning English, the fun way!
I teach both online small group courses and individual lessons for kids and teens between the ages of 5 and 18. I know learning a language is not a one size fits all approach, so if you're not sure which option is best for your child, check out the descriptions below, and if you have more questions, you can book a discovery call with me and we'll decide together what is the best option for you!
My teaching method
Friendly Environment
No judgement. No stress. Just fun, inclusive learning. Whether in small group or individual lessons, your child will be learning in a relaxed, inclusive space. Kids learn best when they're having fun and feel safe, and my online classroom has a place for every child!
Storytelling
Explore the world through stories and imagination. Learning English through stories brings English to life for my students, giving them a reason to keep coming back to learn more. Stories introduce language structures and vocabulary naturally, in the same way that the child's first language is learned.
Hands on Learning
Dynamic activities for all learning types. Children learn in many different ways, so I make sure to include a variety of activities in my lessons to cater to each and every student so that no one ever feels left behind or left out. Songs, videos, games, drawing together on the Zoom whiteboard are just a few examples!
100% Speaking Focus
My students learn to speak in a natural, real English context. I don't use "baby goo-goo" language to talk to them. I use real English, and talk to them like the real, little humans that they are, and this approach gets them talking to me too, no matter how small they are!
