Our Guidelines
In every Little English House we want your child to grow to a great, smart, intelligent and self-determining individuum.
Based on the principles of the Task-Based-Language-Learning, we aim at the following goals in our lessons:
- We encourage children in their self-reliance
- Our lessons are without any fears and stress
- Small groups make it possible for us to listen and pay attention to every child
- We combine English with culture, music, art, movement, play and fun
- Creativity is important - for every child in its own way
- Language is taught authenticially with the help of native speakers
Our Philosophy
Listen to the children's voices
Children should have a say in their learning process. There is no benefit in children learning things they cannot fully invest in because they are not interested in. Every topic the children learn about in the Little English House we offer ways of choosing for the children to self-determine and contribute their own ideas.
Of course, the teachers are there to lead and guide the way to succes. However, we want that the children find their own path. This way the children can apply what they have learned into their everyday lives.

Recruitment in the LEH Company
Michaela Walter's oldest daughter, Susanne took over more and more operational and organizationl processes in the Little English House Company since her mother had to step back because of health issues.

Why choose Little English House?
Learning with fun
Children can acquire the foreign language incidentally because it seems to them that learning the language is actually playing and having fun. This way, they learn the language almost automatically.
Native Speaker
To guarantee the authenticity of language acquisition, our teachers are mainly English native speakers or have the language proficiency level of native speakers.
safe atmosphere
We want to encourage our students to come out of their shells. For this, we provide a secure and protected space in which the children can try out new things for themselves and evolve.
highly trained
All LEH teachers receive a broad training as well as regular trainings. This ensures the best quality teaching for your child.
