Programs

Fisher’s SuperKids English Center specializes in afterschool English programs for students between 4-17 years old with a combination of more than 40 years’ experience in teaching English from the Director, Director of Studies and the teaching staff who love kids and teaching.

The progression of learning is at Fisher’s SuperKids is designed for optimum results based on studies by linguists and psychologists about second language learning in younger learners.

Students who have never studied English or have been through traditional English programs that only focus on writing and grammar will start with basic communication skills, pronunciation and vocabulary so they feel confident speaking English and enjoy learning it.

For students who have already been at Fisher’s SuperKids for a few years and are able to communicate well, the focus will be on all four skills namely listening, speaking, reading and writing plus grammar. They will develop to a higher level of proficiency that allows them to study abroad or take advanced certificate programs such TOEFL and IELTS.

With continued study, they will be able to communicate with ease and learn many new vocabulary words. These class are always interesting with plenty of fun and laughter.

English for underprivileged students English for underprivileged students: Fisher’s SuperKids was honored to have been awarded the English Access Microscholarship Program (a.k.a ACCESS) by the US Department of State to teach underprivileged students 13-18 years old from various Houses of Compassion and charity organizations in Danang. 25 students are currently enrolled in this two-year program which is the first of its kind in Central Vietnam. The students are taught English, basic computer skills and American culture.

The purpose of the ACCESS program is to equip the students with skills that will enable them to overcome their difficult situations through better education.

A similar program sponsored by East Meets West Foundation is under way for 25 poor but very smart students from various central provinces. This is an intensive summer immersion program that might be repeated over the years.
