Parent testimonials

"After the first class, my daughter started looking forward to lessons as much as her favorite game. She set the alarm herself and enthusiastically studied - for the first time in my life I saw her so eager to learn."

"At school, my daughter hated English, it was impossible to make her go to a tutor, her grades were terrible. But at PlaySEND she fell in love with the language and started using it not only in classes, but also watching cartoons and movies in the original and even making friends in games from different countries."

"We've been living in Spain for two years, and there were big difficulties with school adaptation - failing in all subjects. But after classes at PlaySEND, my son very quickly became confident in the language, improved his grades at school, and started coming home happy. I'm just so happy we found you."

What experts say

"If you observe a child playing for a few minutes, you can see how they plan, negotiate, allocate resources and seek solutions. These skills are especially important for children with ADHD, and they can be developed through play."

Author of books on games and child development

"Learning through play supports intrinsic motivation and develops mental flexibility. The child learns not only words, but also a way of looking at the world."

Author of Learning How to Learn course

"My son loves Roblox and Minecraft - he can build and play for hours, but with his ADHD it was very difficult for him to learn in traditional classes. At some point, we brought teachers into his favorite games and started teaching various subjects right there, in his familiar environment. Now it works not only for us, but for hundreds of other families."
