Helen Doron English uses a unique method of teaching English to create a franchise that is an international success story
Have you ever considered why is it so difficult to learn a new language, while children absorb their native tongue effortlessly by imitating their parents?
Helen Doron, a British linguistic scientist and the founder of the Helen Doron Educational Group, developed a unique methodology to teach a foreign language, using a similar natural technique.
The methodology is not only about learning English as a second language – it is about creating a supportive environment for children, empowering them to grow into creative, confident individuals.
In Helen Doron’s book, The Music of Language, she elaborates on her vision. “Ultimately, this is my goal: to grow a ‘green forest’. I want to see happier, more balanced, open people who smile and are not afraid to face all that is wonderful in life.”
Helen Doron – From idea to global empire
More than 30 years ago, Helen Doron had a moment of inspiration while watching her young daughter learn violin through the Suzuki method, and thought “If Suzuki is teaching the language of music, why aren’t we teaching the music of language?”
As a linguistic scientist, Doron had a deep understanding of the mechanics of language. As a mother raising bilingual children, she saw the challenges involved in teaching children English as a second language.
With this insight, Helen Doron created a unique methodology for children from ages three months to 19 years that would make learning a second language as easy as learning their mother tongue.
The business grew from a home-based business into a global franchise network and her vision of teaching English naturally, backed by her proven methodology and creative learning materials including: original songs, animated videos, innovative educational apps, and an internet radio station, opened a whole new world for teaching English as a foreign language.
