Inés García has spent six years teaching Spanish to 5-7-year-olds. She knows the cardinal rule: it has to feel like play, not school. Lila's parents had tried three apps before signing up for Koydo. All three apps lasted under four weeks before Lila lost interest. They were skeptical that anything would be different.
My 6-year-old asked to do Spanish more often after Inés. That's the test. Other tutors made it feel like 'school' — Inés makes it feel like play.
Eighteen months later Lila answers the door in Spanish when her grandmother (a heritage Spanish speaker who'd quietly given up on teaching Lila) visits. Lila's mother says: 'My mother cried. Inés did that.' Sprouts Spanish cohort with Inés is now the non-negotiable Tuesday + Thursday afternoon ritual.
