Helen Doron is a British linguist and educator. She is best known for the Helen Doron Early English method, an English language education method for children from 3 months to adolescence. Her method is in use today in 28 countries, with 85 thousand yearly students in 538 learning centres as well as in public and private schools throughout the world.
Doron studied linguistics and French language at the University of Reading. UK and taught at the University of Poitiers in France before completing her MA in Linguistics. Helen Doron began teaching English as a Second Language ESL in order to share her own insights into how children naturally learn a new language - not through reading and writing, but through first understanding and speaking. After a few years she developed her own methodology, know as the Helen Doron method.
Helen Doron pioneered her exclusive language learning methodology in 1985, based on the ‘Natural’ way infants learn their native tongue - by repeated hearing and positive reinforcement. In 1990, the first learning center was opened and today the Helen Doron Educational Franchise Group is a respected international brand teaching children English on four continents. The method is being used in small group afternoon classes and also systematically in schools. Several papers have been written about the method and the levels of satisfaction of parents and teachers..[1][2][3] as well as a book, published a month ago, on the occasion of the 25th year celebration of the Helen Doron method.
