Our Team
As the Area Director for Lango Belles North Chicago, my goal is to bring quality classes to parents in convenient locations throughout the week. But what truly makes our classes successful? The answer to that question is most definitely our devoted and tireless teachers.
Lango's teachers make our classes truly exceptional. In our selection process, we look for five distinct qualities: native/bilingual fluency, limitless positive energy, creativity, teaching experience with relevant age groups and outstanding communication skills with both children and their parents. Beyond these qualities, though, our teachers bring unique cultural perspectives and professional backgrounds that enable them to create rich, engaging experiences in the classroom. If you are interested in becoming a Lango teacher, please contact us today. Lango is headquartered in San Francisco, California where the concept of Lango was born and the curriculum perfected. Lango's first language focus was Spanish but has since branched out to include Mandarin and French. Meet the North Chicago team!
