Our Team

Hello and Welcome! My name is Kristina Stutler, as the Area Director for Coastal San Diego my goals are to provide San Diego children with FUN and educational language emersion classes and offer them at the most convenient locations for busy parents. There are numerous aspects that contribute to our success including a unique FUN filled curriculum, small class ratio, locations throughout your community and last but not least extremely dedicated teachers, who make our classes truly exceptional.

As an experienced language teacher and a bi-lingual person myself I know the importance of having a native speaker in the classroom in order to promote proper pronunciation and offer a unique cultural perspective. In the process of hiring our teachers I followed five distinct qualities: native/bilingual fluency, limitless positive energy, creativity, teaching experience and outstanding communication skills with both children and their parents. Beyond these qualities though, our teachers bring professional backgrounds that enable them to create rich, engaging experiences in the classroom.

Please meet our teachers:

FRENCH:

Even thought Delphine doesn’t have direct teaching experience her passion for children and ability to multi task make her an excellent Lango teacher.  

She has been in the United States for 4 months with her husband and kids. He has accepted a position at the SCRIPPS Research Institute as a Research Associate, and it has been an exciting experience for their family. 

Delphine studied English during her high school years, as well as some Latin, German, and Russian.
