a new chapter for the school
Bee Fluent is the new name and brand of the well-established language school formerly known as Speak. In August 2025, it was decided that Rachel would step forward to take on the exciting challenge of continuing the school’s success. Polly happily continues to have Speak in Degerloch: https://www.speak-stuttgart.de/
Having already taught at the school, Rachel had built strong relationships with students, parents, and teachers, ensuring a smooth and seamless transition. With a deep understanding of the school’s values and community, she was ideally placed to carry its legacy forward.
Polly was delighted that her much-loved school could continue and provided valuable guidance and support throughout the handover. Today, Bee Fluent builds on this strong foundation—maintaining the high standards, trusted courses, and welcoming environment that families have come to expect, while bringing fresh energy and vision for the future.
