About
Nayely Phonics Academy blends heart, literacy, and discovery - transforming reading lessons into meaningful experiences where children connect what they read to the world they explore. Nayely means "I love you" - a sentiment I bring into every lesson, creating a heartfelt connection where children grow to love reading and writing!
📘 Mission
At Nayely Phonics Academy, my mission is to make reading come alive through a dynamic blend of phonics and science discovery. I design lessons where children experiment, observe, and explore - connecting words and sounds to the real world around them. Every experience is rooted in love, curiosity, and hands-on learning, nurturing not only strong literacy skills but also confident, curious thinkers who see reading as a lifelong adventure.
🌈 Vision
My vision is to inspire a generation of curious, confident readers who fall in love with learning - discovering the joy of reading, the wonder of science, and the confidence that grows from curiosity.
Empowering Children Through Literacy & Joy
With over 10 years of experience teaching children ages 4-10 in Zürich and abroad, I specialize in playful, research-based literacy instruction. My background in child protection and social work- combined with my passion for early education- inspires me to nurture every child's joy for learning. At Nayely Phonics Academy I make reading fun, meaningful, and confidence-building through multisensory lessons and a holistic, child-centered approach.
My Background
I’ve been teaching in Zürich for over 10 years, including 5 years in private pre-K and kindergarten settings. In 2020, I developed my own phonics-based curriculum, blending science and research-based instruction with creative, multisensory learning.
A Holistic Approach
My background in social work informs everything I do. At Nayely Phonics Academy, lessons are designed to support the whole child - fostering not just literacy, but also emotional, social, and cognitive development. I work closely with parents to ensure each child’s needs are met with care and attention.
