About
Sponge Tutoring offers after-school language classes, online classes, private tutoring, and language summer camps. The program provides award-winning Spanish, Chinese (Mandarin), French, Japanese, and German after-school classes, online classes, and private tutoring for kids in the greater Seattle area and the Eastside. All of the classes are designed to be engaging and effective and use an immersion-based language learning approach.
• Ages: 5–11 years old
Sponge is a minority owned business enterprise. All of the classes are designed to be engaging and effective, with age-dependent fun activities such as peek-a-boo for infants and drama and art for older kids. The Sponge online language learning portal (BETA) uses the same curriculum used in classes and includes audio-visual flashcards and interactive games and activities.
Sponge has won Red Tricycle’s Totally Awesome Award for Best Language Classes several years in a row. It has also received ParentMap’s Golden Teddy for Passport Ready Language or Art Class, the Golden Teddy for Best After-School and Enrichment Classes, and the Golden Teddy for Best Infant and Toddler Classes over multiple years. Seattle Metropolitan Magazine named Sponge its Critic’s Pick for Best Foreign Language Classes, and Seattle Weekly awarded it Best Kiddie Language School.
Sponge is excited to announce a partnership with elementary schools in Los Angeles, California.
Parent feedback includes comments that the language program seems very suitable for a toddler, with positive remarks about the languages offered, the teachers, the classroom setting, and the curriculum. Parents also report that they like the teachers and the structure of the Sponge curriculum, and that their children enjoy the classes. Another parent notes a focus on language for young children, describes the immersion approach as very important to their family, and reports that the classes are lots of fun for both kids and parents, with kids and parents both absorbing the material.
