In-school shadow teaching support
​Information for schools

Peekaboo provides professional shadow teaching and in-class support in Barcelona and Madrid. Our shadow teachers support children who benefit from additional guidance within the classroom, particularly in international and bilingual school environments.
​All support is contracted directly by families and delivered in alignment with school structure and expectations.

What a shadow teacher does

A shadow teacher may:
Support focus and attention during lessons
Help with transitions and classroom routines
Reinforce teacher instructions
Support emotional regulation
Facilitate social integration
Provide structured guidance when needed
​
A shadow teacher does NOT:
Replace the classroom teacher
Interfere with curriculum decisions
Modify academic requirements without school agreement
Act independently from the school framework

Professional framework

We ensure:
Background checks and references
Relevant experience
Clear communication with families
Defined role boundaries
Ongoing coordination with parents

Shadow teachers follow the school’s policies and respect internal procedures at all times.

​We regularly support families in international schools across Barcelona and Madrid, including British, American, and bilingual institutions. Our English-speaking shadow teachers understand the dynamics of relocation, language transitions, and inclusive education environments.

Communication structure

Collaboration typically includes:
Initial alignment conversation with the school
Agreement on boundaries and expectations
Defined communication channel
Regular feedback between parents and school

​We aim to integrate smoothly into the school day while maintaining transparency.

Some families combine in-class shadow teaching with therapy or home-based nanny support to create continuity across environments.
