"I am an English teacher myself and I'm following the early language
education and methods with great interest. I participated in the first few
lessons when my son started with HDEE, and I sadly had to give up doing that as
a mother on a regular basis.....
The enthusiasm and joy that Steffi B. is
teaching with, was not only passed on to the children, but also to me. Through a
variety of lovely props, our children are able to absorb the English language in
a very joyous and natural way. For example: if breakfast is the topic, they sat
at a table, set up with all the breakfast food items they were talking about
before. I also consider that the learning material, and the HD satchel, is of
great value and importance for the children's progress, especially the CD's.
They offer the opportunity to review the material at home and it has become a
part of our daily routine now. Discovering how much fun it can be, learning
foreign languages, becoming familiar with the grammatical structure in a rather
unconscious way - I'm sure this builds the base to success in school and life".

"My first thought when Bam started class at Helen Doron Early English is
whether this will really work. Then, I discovered that Bam joined all the
activities with her friends and teacher....
Sometimes the children seemed uninterested
but they all know what the teacher is teaching or would like them to do. Bam
really likes her classes here. It is like another school of hers. Bam absorbs
English naturally from listening to Helen Doron's CDs at home everyday and
learning through activities in class. As a result, Bam loves learning English
and has the confidence to speak English as well. She likes to tell what she done
the past week to her Helen Doron teacher in English. When she plays, she counts
in English every so often. I appreciate Helen Doron teachers. They brilliantly
apply psychology to teach children. Bam has learned more vocabulary and her
accent has improved from Thai-English accent to become more like a native
speaker. Bam's father said that children who understand English do not always
speak English like a native speaker and I believe that teachers can be Thai or
native speakers as long as they have a good accent. If the teacher is Thai, the
children will also learn appropriate Thai culture. "
