    - Pre-school teacher
    As I have been passionate about learning kids for almost 30 years, I went to study to England/Wimbledon after graduating. After coming back I found the best way how to teach English at kindergartens and were the first Languagy Company SpeakAndLearn which taught kids at 15 kindergartens in Bratislava and Trnava as well as at School Matka Alexia. I spoke to my children only English and wanted to provide such a place where kids feel safe and learn English in a funny way. Our Twinkle Kindergarten gives all needed activities which improve child in social, physical and emotional and where kids are well prepared with their knowledge to enter bilingual/international schools.
