Congratulations to Lyazzat Moldakhmet and Kymbat Abdikerimova, the Master Franchisees for Astana and Almaty, Kazakhstan, who are thrilled to announce the opening of three new Helen Doron learning centres in their region.

Most recently, Zhibek Nurtanova, our franchisee in Astana, opened the first centre in an elite residential area of the capital city. Zhibek is the mother of two young Helen Doron students (boys ages 1.5 and 2.5) and received her university degree from the University of Bristol, England. Additionally, she is the Bristol Plus Award winner for exemplary project management, demonstration of leadership, ability to work in a team, and successful management of human and financial resources. Well done, and good luck!

In July, Aidana Rakisheva, an experienced Helen Doron English teacher in China, took on her new role as a franchisee and opened a new learning centre in Zhetysu, Almaty. Thanks to the densely populated location and Aidana’s deep knowledge and love of the methodology, the school has already proven to be successful, with 50 students and more joining all the time.
