The SREM Methodology
For organizing and delivering the learning content properly, and maximizing the result mostly with efficiency, we have originated an innovative methodology called SREM© for non-native language teaching and learning. SREM© language learning methodology has been referred from our over 20 years of language teaching experience. It has been proven it leads 2-3 times faster in learning a foreign language than the conventional method.
