This is me,

Jennifer

As you can see from my titles, I have two roles at the Spielhuus Elefant in Witikon.
Schoolhouse manager & English teacher

English Language Teacher

“If you’re not understanding it, it’s because I’m not teaching it the way you need to learn it.” 

 

I have worked in this capacity since 2008, providing speaking, reading, and writing instruction to children of multicultural and multi-religious backgrounds, between the grades of K-10.  I have received professional development training from the USA, on the latest evidence-based practices for language and literacy instruction for young learners, based on both latest literacy research and neuroscientific discoveries – commonly referred to as the Science of Reading.  

 

I believe one of the most important roles I have is to foster both curiosity and confidence in your children, to learn and speak the English language, so my lessons are always offered in an age appropriate, structured, and FUN way.  I have a great fondness for Children’s literature, and you will often find me engaged with the children, reading, and having a lively back-and-forth, a time proven manner for language learning.   Whether a child is first time learner or a native speaker of English, there is plenty to discover and learn with me at Spielhuus Elefant!

Schulhaus-Managerin

I have a bachelor’s degree in business administration and worked many years in the expansive and diverse area of marketing.  I have been tasked with overseeing communications for the Spielhuus Elefant, ensuring all the parents are kept informed of what is happening every day and what is coming up. Our partnership with you is essential to the proper care of your child/children.  Keeping the doors of communications open is a vital part of maintaining our quality health and safety standards and providing a positive environment for our team, the parents, and of course the children.  It also benefits the psychological, social, and emotional development of each child to know we are working together.  My fellow Spielhuus Elefant Witikon team members and I look forward to our partnership with you.
