Helen Doron
Helen Doron, a British linguistic scientist and entrepreneur, developed this unique methodology to teach language to children the same way they learn their mother tongue. Beginning in 1985, Helen's vision to provide quality, brain-stimulating education to children has been realised, inspiring millions of students and an entire network of franchisees and teachers in 40 countries and growing yearly.
In developing her teaching method, Helen was influenced by the methodology of Dr. Shinichi Suzuki, the founder of the Suzuki method, and the Doman method developed by Glenn Doman. After a few years, she developed her methodology, known as the Helen Doron method, for children ages 3 months to 19 years old.
