About Us

Terranova Tots was founded in 2006 following a request from a nursery school to teach French to the pre-school children. At this time I was mainly doing private tuition in languages and English and I was happy to take up this new and exciting challenge. It turned out to be very successful and rewarding and most of all the children took to it extremely well.

Following this positive start, I have since begun working with many nurseries and this venture has proven very popular so far. I have now taken on other like-minded tutors so I can offer the service to more nurseries. I take care of all the planning for these tutors and they are all 'CRB' checked. They have all been fully trained by myself to offer the same high standards throughout. Our team consists of qualified language teachers, French people who live and teach in the UK and PGCE students, so you can be assured that your children will receive an excellent base in a new language alongside lots of fun.

We always aim to work with nurseries to provide the best service for you and following feedback, we also offer Spanish tuition due to popular request. In some of the nurseries, we base our activities around the general monthly themes taking place in the nursery. So far, some of the topics we have covered are: basic introductions and greetings, numbers, colours, Christmas, winter and mini beasts. The activities usually include interactive games and pictures alongside some songs.

My Background

I have a BA honours degree in English and Drama, and A-levels in French, German, English and Business. I also lived in Spain for four years and so have a keen interest in the Spanish language. I did two years of a Bachelor of Education degree in early years and so I have some classroom experience to bring to this venture. I have also been involved in Play schemes run by the council, which gave me a good base.
