SREM Methodology
For organizing and delivering the learning content properly, and maximizing the result mostly with efficiency, we have origined an innovative methodology called SREM© for non-native language teaching and learning.

It has been proven it leads 2-3 times faster in learning a foreign language than the conventional method.
