Startup Grind Tirana hosts Helen Doron (Helen Doron Educational Group)
On Thursday, November 7th, Startup Grind Tirana had the pleasure to welcome on a fireside chat Ms. Helen Doron of Helen Doron Educational Group.
Helen grew up in London. She studied linguistics and the French language at the University of Reading. After a few years of teaching in universities, she developed her own methodology, known as the Helen Doron method.
The Doron method teaches English in a fun way, often using music for children from 3 months old up to youth.
There is also listening, watching teacher's body language and gestures and student repetition involved in the method.
Doron began teaching at her home all the way back in 1985, using cassette tapes she made herself with songs, poems and stories in English. In 1990, the first learning center was opened. The first franchise opened in Austria in 1997.
Nowadays Helen Doron English is located in 40 countries with over 1100 centers, over 3 million students and more than 5000 teachers.
