N-HELPP for Developing English
WHAT
Nisai's Holistic English Language Proficiency Programme N-HELPP is the very best of Nisai Group. It brings our finest practices and over 100 cumulative years of experience together with the Units of Sound and WordQ software suites. All of this for a single reason: to help students improve their English language skills.
HOW
We believe in a personalized approach to teaching English as a language instead of as a subject. This can help students develop the skills and confidence they need to learn for life.
WHY
Improvement in reading and writing not only provides greater opportunities while enhancing attainment across all subjects, but it also builds confidence, self-esteem, and fosters independent learning. Learning English as a language, rather than as a subject, focuses on the principles of English within a topic familiar to the student, enabling them to concentrate on areas they find challenging.
