For parents and guardians
Hello, we are delighted to have you reading and exploring our Totally English for Kids learning platform.
I am Sylvia Vanessa and I love impacting children. I have had the privilege of teaching English pronunciation to children, from nursery to secondary for several decades.
As well as English pronunciation, teaching comprises spelling and reading skills; English grammar and etiquette.
All these put together cultivate good listening skills and build confidence.
Why English?
I respect every language; languages make the world a more exciting and desirable place.
However, regardless of this, we cannot deny the fact that English is one of our global languages that connects us together.
Whether you’re on the internet, travelling to another country for a holiday, or you are travelling to study or work, the English language connects us!
