About
Nayely Phonics Academy blends heart, literacy, and discovery — transforming English lessons into meaningful experiences where children connect what they learn to the world around them.
Nayely means “I love you” — a sentiment I bring into every lesson, creating a space where children feel safe, supported, and inspired to learn.
🌈 Mission & Vision
At Nayely Phonics Academy, my goal is to make reading come alive through a blend of phonics and hands-on discovery. Children experiment, explore, and connect language to the real world — building not only strong literacy skills, but also confidence, curiosity, and a love for learning.
I aim to inspire children to become confident readers who see learning as a joyful and lifelong journey.
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 working with children aged 4–10 in Zürich and internationally, I specialise in playful, research-based literacy instruction.
My background in child protection and social work, combined with my passion for early education, allows me to support not only academic growth but also emotional development — nurturing each child’s confidence and love for learning.
My Approach
I have been teaching in Zürich for over 10 years, including several years in private pre-K and kindergarten classrooms. In 2020, I developed my own phonics-based curriculum, combining research-based instruction with creative, multisensory learning.
My background in social work shapes my approach — supporting the whole child, including their emotional, social, and cognitive development. I work closely with parents to ensure each child feels supported, understood, and confident in their learning journey.
