All programmes in Le Beaumont have been built on "fun" and "immersion". Children love to join the playgroups in different languages, organized by graduate teachers who are native speakers in the language they teach.

Vocabulary and sentences are learnt in the context of interesting games, songs, and stories. They never get confused. 
Dr. Arthur Hinton, D Ed 
Former Head of the Northcote College of Education 

Le Beaumont takes pride in building up a professional team of warm, caring, supportive and highly dedicated teachers.

Rapport between teachers and students is placed on the top of our agenda.

Claudia Chiu 
BA degree, University of Southern California 

Hello, my name is Claudia and I am from the United States. I am dedicated and passionate about teaching children. Nearly every class I find myself cracking up as the children shock me with their new perspective on life. It's great. I think that humor helps in learning, too, and keeping it light keeps it fun—learning should be fun. It is important to teach kids that perspective at an early age. Children learn through interactive activities such as rhyming games, storytelling and acting games. Having the children working together, often in small playgroup sessions, helps improve their social skills, helps the child's self-esteem and encourages their love for learning. Le Beaumont treats each student as an individual and tries to help him or her with their emotional, physical, social or creative needs. I look forward to meeting your child.
