Tell us a bit about yourself 
My name is Lucy Cass and I live in Darlington with my husband and two beautiful children aged 5 and 3.
What did you do before joining Lingotot?  
I was a Secondary School MFL Teacher and Head of French/Second in Department for many years.
What attracted you to Lingotot?  
I love the fun and interactive nature of lessons! I really like working with younger children especially now have my own, it's something I have always been interested in doing. I wanted part-time, flexible work so can raise my family as well. 
Where are your classes?
My area covers Darlington, Northallerton, Barnard Castle and Richmond.
What's your favourite Lingotot song?
"Peux-tu marcher comme un canard?" (Can you walk like a duck?) as children really enjoy being the different animals and get very animated doing the actions!


Tell us a bit about yourself 
My name is Nerea, I'm married to Joaquim, who is Portuguese and I'm the mum (or amatxu as they call me!) of Oier 7 and Naia 3.
What did you do before joining Lingotot?  
I have lived in the UK for just over 10 years and the majority of this time I have worked for a leading bank. I absolutely loved my job, but I found that working in a corporate environment I was not always being recognised for my job.
What attracted you to Lingotot?  

I've been passionate about languages all my life; both my parents were fluent in French and they loved travelling and learning about other cultures. Also, as I was born in the Basque Country, Basque was also spoken at home. From an early age my parents signed me up to English lessons. All through my school life and university I always excelled in languages and I truly believe it's down to the fact that I was exposed to several different languages from a very early age.

Where are your classes?
I cover the Reading area. It's very early days for me, but it has been so amazing the response that I've had from people. I can already see how rewarding the Lingotot experience will be! 
What's your favourite Lingotot song?
My favourite Lingotot song is "Un barquito chiquitito", I always loved that song when I was little, especially when the boat manages to sail

North East Woman Entrepreneur of the Year Awards Winners & Runners Up
Here at Lingotot HQ we are very proud to announce we have scooped a prestigious award. The North East Woman Entrepreneur of the Year Awards, an annual event that recognises, rewards and promotes achievement of women in business in the North East.

The awards were celebrated after The IF (Inspiring Females) Conference, a one day event showcasing some of the UK’s top female businesses and speakers, plus an opportunity to  take part in some practical workshops, all aimed at supporting business growth for women in the North East.

It was a wonderful evening of celebration, hosted in the Hilton Newcastle Gateshead by
Kim Inglis. It was a chance for us to really celebrate and have a night out away from the kids in a posh frock! We were up against some stiff competition from some inspirational businesses and business women and we were delighted to win.

Angela is most proud of the fact we won Best Home Based Business saying,

We franchised the business to provide opportunities across the whole country for children to access high quality language classes. However in the process we have created many many flexible jobs for working mums. Our franchisees all work from home, usually fitting their business around their busy families. Our tutors work part time and juggle family and working life.

We really think carefully about all of our franchisees and tutors to get that work/life balance right, for example tutors access training online at their convenience; some of our franchisees take their youngest children to teaching jobs with them; work meetings are held via video conference at a time we know the kids will be tucked up in bed and we meet in our PJs with a cuppa in hand!
We are always looking for new franchisees and tutors, so please get in touch if you're looking for a professional job that is great fun, very flexible and family-friendly. Click here to find out more.

Lingotot @ Mumpreneur Awards 2014

What a wonderful weekend at the Mumpreneur Conference and Awards! Angela, founder and MD of Lingotot and Lingotot Marketing Manager, Michelle Rose,  travelled down from Co Durham to Warwickshire for a fun-packed weekend.

The fabulous Mumpreneur team had lined up some excellent guest speakers, SEVEN of them, all of whom were brilliant.

First up was Yasmina Siadatan, winner of the fifth series of BBC1's The Apprentice, who is now the Creative Director of Start-Up Loans Company. 
The government-backed scheme provides funding and mentoring to entrepreneurs. Some of our franchisees here at Lingotot have received this funding to kick-start their franchises, so if you'd like to join us but are struggling for cash it's one way to get started.

Next was Bill Morrow from Angel's Den who helps female entrepreneurs access funding for their fledgling business ventures. He was followed by Anna Kennedy OBE. She
set up a school for autistic children after her two autistic sons were turned away from mainstream education. As we teach in many special needs schools we'd love to keep in touch with Anne!

We were all surprised by Henry Patterson (10 years old), founder of British children’s brand, Not Before Tea. What a fantastic public speaker! We should teach him some languages so he can deliver speeches internationally. He told us afterwards that although he is successful in business, he gets £5 per week pocket money.

Delighted with our award!
Annabel Karmel was amazing! As a mum I of course have some of her books in the back of my cupboard, but hearing her talk about her business inspiration was wonderful; I laughed and cried in the space of a single minute. Caprice was the last guest speaker of the day and afterwards we had a lovely chat about juggling motherhood with business. She gushed about her sons Jett and Jax. She was very glamorous yet down-to-earth!

When the awards came along we were delighted to be given the Highly Commended Award in the Engage category. The Engage Award recognises businesses that work in close contact with clients and are based upon interacting with others as an integral part of the work they do. We are so proud!

Thank you so much to all of our customers; babies, toddlers, children, parents, nurseries, schools, tutors and franchisees. We owe our success to you!
