What is Lingua Genesis

Lingua Genesis is a freelance and mobile language school at which there are potential opportunities to learn Spanish, receive German tuition, be given French and / or Italian lessons in Barnsley, Sheffield, Rotherham and Doncaster, as well as the West Yorkshire areas of Huddersfield and Leeds.  The company is currently seeking to promote and ultimately make available a low-cost service in adult language classes, children's clubs and business language courses, both in person and online, to members of the general public. 

 

Lingua Genesis is also highly experienced to equip you to learn in preparation for, amongst other things, any Spanish, German and French (for which other tutors are sought) GCSE and / or A-Level courses in Barnsley, Sheffield, Rotherham, Wakefield, Doncaster, Huddersfield and Leeds, especially given familiarity with the breakdown of such courses.  As Managing Director, I have taught pupils and students from Wakefield Girls Junior School (WGJS), Wakefield Girls High Schools (WGHS) and am promoting to pupils from Silcoates and Queen Elizabeth Grammar School (QEGS).  Those who visit or have visited the former two schools have achieved beyond their expectations in the GCSE and A-Level language courses which they have taken.

 

Furthermore, Lingua Genesis has been and would be more than happy to assist learners of Spanish, German and / or French at the Open University to prepare for those courses, in addition to anyone who requires help with their university language degree.    

 

A cost-effective translation service is also provided and there is also on offer a range of resources from which you can purchase our own copyrighted Power Point learning tools and buy Deutsch Plus and BBC Talk Spanish supplementary materials.  If you have already managed to buy Rosetta Stone, Linguaphone or similar courses in the past, I would recommend any number of our services to complement and strengthen your learning.    

 

Whether you are seeking to learn Spanish in Barnsley or Sheffield, looking for adult classes in Italian in Wakefield or Rotherham, or work for a company which is looking for German business courses in Leeds or Doncaster - anything at all -, then Lingua Genesis should be more than happy to try and help you. 

 

The success of Lingua Genesis is due mostly to www.tutors4me.co.uk, a website on which freelance tutors can register their details and be contacted by any customers within the local area who may be interested in making use of their expertise.  Personally, I owe a great deal to the provider and encourage anyone who is a tutor to make use of the available services.

The company also gives thanks to the UK Business Directory for having allowed us to register on its site.  The directory offers a wide range of opportunities for listing a business of any kind on its URL at www.business-directory-uk.co.uk.

 
Why is Lingua Genesis different?

Lingua Genesis embraces a refreshed, brand new and extremely effective approach to a huge gamut of language learner needs, having originally been conceived in October 2004.  It was founded in response to general disillusionment among students with the situation of particular language learning courses and approaches.

 

Established as a business in November 2008, Lingua Genesis has continued, over time, to promote and raise levels of interest in modern foreign languages in Yorkshire and the rest of the UK - from every generation!  As its founder, I have campaigned for the right for individuals within every age group to learn at an appropriate and preferred level, without being obliged to sit an examination, and devise as many different teaching aids and methods which are perfectly suited to the abilities of anyone who is keen to become linguistically proficient within a given time frame.  A general discussion of effective means of language learning for anyone who is learning German and / or Spanish in Barnsley, Sheffield, Leeds or the rest of Yorkshire and the United Kingdom, was released onto YouTube over the course of 2009.

 

I am currently researching and evaluating a series of language teaching strategies and marketed resources, as informed by my full-time teaching practice and the general feelings of our students towards them. 

 

More details pertaining to the original aims of the venture are listed in the main body of a letter to the local Member of Parliament for Barnsley West and Penistone, even if any parts of the content of that letter are no longer consistent with our current views.

 
 
Mission Statement

“To promote and implement into all areas of foreign language learning an ever increasing number of innovative, unconventional, yet effective strategies and resources which enable young children, teenagers and adults from around the world to build their knowledge and confidence in this subject area” 

 

The research undertaken by Lingua Genesis shows that it is much easier to pick up a foreign language if you start as a child, which is why the majority of paper-based resources created by Lingua Genesis are aimed primarily at strongly encouraging and closely integrating parental involvement in each child’s language learning process, on the basis of innovative and differentiated learning exercises.

 

Many adults have perhaps tended to associate old age and some contemporary forms of traditional language teaching in schools as ineffective, unpopular, tedious and lacking in innovation.  It may be argued this was one of the reasons which induced New Labour to take the decision in 2005 to make the learning of a foreign language no longer compulsory in the secondary education sector.  In any case, Lingua Genesis welcomes the government initiative to make the learning of at least one modern foreign language obligatory in our primary schools by 2011.
