March marks a season of growth for LET, with new members, expanding student numbers, and exciting opportunities ahead.

LET is welcoming three passionate teachers, Bernie, Juan, and Lila, who will strengthen key areas within the organisation. At the same time, LET - Caleta continues to thrive, with rising student numbers and high satisfaction rates.

In London, we bid farewell to Teacher Matt, who has been recruited by the BBC. While we’ll miss him and wish him well, we’re delighted to introduce Lila, an expert in Business English and Employability, who brings a wealth of experience to the team. Over in France, LET is gaining momentum, with plans to participate in the World Tourism Fair in Paris, during the second week of March. We wish Eric and Stéphane all the best as they represent LET on this global stage.

Meanwhile, LET Spain and the LET Business departments remain strong, maintaining student numbers and ensuring ongoing engagement.

LET Caleta – Growing from Strength to Strength

Since opening in January, LET - Caleta has seen a steady increase in students, thanks to its prime location and strong word-of-mouth recommendations. We are also proud to announce the school has been officially accredited by La Junta de Andalucía, providing new opportunities to collaborate with ayuntamientos (Town Halls) and SEPE (Servicio Público de Empleo Estatal). This accreditation means LET can offer language courses to job seekers and professionals looking to enhance their skills. A special thanks to Sabrina for her outstanding work in handling the logistics.

We also welcome Deborah as our new Social Media Content Manager & Consultant. With her expertise in writing, statistics, and education, she brings a unique skill set to the team. LET is thrilled to have her on board, and we are confident her contributions will be invaluable.

LET Spain - Expanding Our Teaching Team

Juan has joined the LET team as a Spanish teacher. Passionate about language and highly knowledgeable in “la lengua de Cervantes”, he will contribute to the shared expertise within our team. We are also pleased to welcome back Alfredo, who will now be teaching at LET - Caleta.

Student numbers for LET Spain’s online services remain stable, with consistent participation in both group and private lessons. A big thank you to Céline for her ongoing efforts in gathering student feedback and ensuring smooth communication between teachers and management.

LET London - A New Chapter

We send our best wishes to Teacher Matt as he embarks on his new role at BBC Sports Radio. Stepping into his place is Lila, a highly experienced teacher specialising in business development, functional skills, and employability. With her strong academic discipline and compassionate, empathetic teaching style, she is a perfect fit for LET’s mission. She is currently teaching in Stratford.

This month, LET London teachers are organising a trip to the V&A Museum, an immersive “out of class” activity where students can apply vocabulary and grammar in a real-world setting. This initiative not only strengthens language skills but also fosters cultural awareness through art and history.

LET France – Gaining Visibility LET France continues to grow, with regular content updates focused on grammar and vocabulary. A key highlight this month is our participation in Salon Mondial du Tourisme – World Tourism Fair in Paris from 13th to 16th March 2025. This is a fantastic opportunity for LET to establish its presence and showcase our expertise.

Deborah will also be offering insights into managing social media content for the French market, while Eric and Valérie continue to expand LET’s reach within both the French government and private sector.

LET Corporate – Expanding Business Partnerships

LET’s corporate sector continues to flourish. We have secured a contract with the American company BFS Berger Facility Solutions, providing online English training for their employees. Additionally, German firm UAS Messtechnick GmbH has expressed interest in LET’s Corporate Language Packages, citing a positive experience with Michael’s business tutorials. Negotiations begin this month, with Dieter, our Head of Business, overseeing the account.

We are also in discussions with Athlas EDUCATION, an agency interested in partnering with LET to send students for Cambridge exam preparation and General English courses.

Looking Ahead

As winter makes way for spring, LET is evolving, growing, and making a positive impact in society. At LET, we believe in the power of teaching to open doors and offer new perspectives. Together, as a team, we continue to learn and expand.

Wishing you all a fantastic March!
