What is a programming circle? By letting our children get to know what a programming club is, we develop the speed of thinking and the ability to find correct and quick solutions. Someone is born with a talent for this subject, while others master each topic through hard and consistent work.

A child, like an adult, has several ways of perceiving, so you need to choose the one that best suits your child. And then, the individual programming circle becomes exactly that engine, because the teacher will quickly discover and understand how to approach your child with seemingly complex information, how to interest, motivate and inspire him.

Coding Circle: How Does It Benefit Your Child? Learning to code can seem daunting to a child, but today’s academic programs focus on simplicity and the visual aspect of education. Regardless of age or geographic location, anyone can learn to program from the comfort of their own home. The programming club will help the child to express himself in a safe environment.

The programming circle takes place remotely.

Remote language lessons FUN TO LEARN

Fun to learn is English and Spanish language lessons for children and Spanish language courses for adults. The immersion method is used in lessons for children, that is, knowledge of a foreign language is acquired in the same way as a native language.

The essence of the immersion method is complete immersion in a foreign language. During classes, from the first lesson, the teacher only uses a foreign language using associations. We sing, draw, play – this is how we get to know new words and concepts. From the very first lesson, everything takes place only in a foreign language. In this way, knowledge of a foreign language is acquired in the same way as native language.

Children learn their mother tongue naturally by observing the people around them. The immersion method replicates exactly that. Since children are naturally curious, receptive to associations and not afraid to make mistakes, this method is very effective in learning a new language and lays a strong foundation for the future.

The teacher David is from Nicaragua, but has been living in Lithuania for over four years.
