Who is behind Helen Doron Early English?

British-born Helen Doron is an internationally renowned linguist with a long list of qualifications including an MA in Linguistics. Early in her career teaching English, Helen became aware that an important element was absent in standard teaching methods, and that the children were missing a precious opportunity.

How it all began

Helen realized that standard teaching methods and materials really let children down by focusing merely on the mechanics of reading and writing without fully grasping that the basis of language acquisition is in fact achieved through understanding and speaking.

She then became committed to creating a comprehensive leaning system of her own, that offered a fun, lively learning environment to stimulate the emotional, physical, creative and intellectual wellbeing of children from all cultures using her specially developed methodology and learning sets. In 1985, Helen founded her first Early Child Development Centre; based on the unique concept of teaching children English in the same way they learn to speak their mother tongue.

Where we are today

Within a short time the vibrant network of special Helen Doron trained teachers grew into a large worldwide phenomenon. Today, Helen travels the world consulting with teams of her English teachers, and working closely with her professional in-house development staff to produce the highest quality learning materials; updated regularly to ensure classes stay continually fresh and fun.
