Helena Malarkey, mother of Max, Michael and Matthew, was born and raised in Germany. In her first year of studies at the University of Heidelberg she met her husband Bill, a foreign exchange student from the US. Having lived together in Germany for almost 8 years, the family relocated to the US in 2001. Helena has a German Law Degree and has also studied European Law at the University of Strassbourg, France and has taken language classes in Salamanca, Spain and Oxford, England. She has been working as a local coordinator for Cultural Care Au Pair since 2006. Helena is raising her sons to be bilingual and is a strong advocate for cultural exchange. She is the founder of Lingo Kids LLC because she believes in the importance of teaching our children foreign languages early and exposing them to other cultures.

LingoKids has been able to assemble an experienced team of energetic and motivated teachers, who all share a passion for the importance of foreign language instruction at an early age. Most of our teachers are native speakers of the language that they teach and attempt to speak to the children as much as possible in their first language, using the ‘immersion’ technique.
