Questions parents ask

Not for this kind of session. Little Learners is play, not instruction: songs, books, puppets, and games, all in Spanish, with you nearby. Young children learn sounds and rhythm effortlessly before about age seven, so early exposure pays off for years. We keep sessions short and stop while it's still fun.

No, and most immersion parents don't. That's exactly who this is for. Kendra bridges the gap between what the school expects and what you can help with at home, and she'll give you simple, specific ways to support the work between sessions.

A 20-minute video call with you (and your child if they'd like). We talk about goals, school, personality, and schedule, and Kendra recommends a session length and plan. No pressure to book.

Under about age eight, in-home works best. Older students do great online, and it's easier to fit around sports and activities. Many families mix both.

Across the Portland metro. The first 8 miles from SE Portland are included; farther than that adds a small travel fee. Online is available anywhere.

Yes. For immersion and middle/high school students, sessions follow real assignments, units, and tests. For Little Learners, Kendra uses her own play-based curriculum built on her bilingual education training.

24 hours' notice to cancel or reschedule, no charge. Later than that, the session is charged in full, except for illness or family emergencies. Life with kids happens; just let us know.

Yes. Kendra is a credentialed teacher who passed the background checks required by Portland Public Schools and LAUSD, and carries current liability insurance. Parents are always welcome to be present during sessions.
