How Do We Select Our Teachers?
LWFC teachers are native-fluent and certified in our Thibaut Technique® and a known for their ability to keep kids engaged in their on-screen lessons. Thibaut Technique certification is awarded only after instructors have undergone intensive, hands-on training in the best practices of online instruction lessons.
With over 10 years of internet-based experience, LWFC teachers are selected for the skill with which they speak their language, their enthusiasm, and their ability to work with children and understand how they learn best. Director of LWFC, François Thibaut, and his internationally-acclaimed Thibaut Technique® continue to be recognized as the pioneer of early language education.
Thibaut is the author of numerous articles on the subject of children’s language acquisition. Director Thibaut is a member of the National Association for Education of Young Children (NAEYC), the National Network for Early Language Learning (NELL), American Association of Teachers of French (ATTF), American Association of Teachers of Spanish and Portuguese (AATSP), American Association of Teachers of Italian (AATI), and the National Afterschool Association. Our virtual teacher, Professor Toto, is an online, animated learning tool loved by children and parents alike. A wide variety of downloadable materials make the Professor Toto series a perfect complement to our online lessons!
