Research for parents
This collection takes what language-learning research says and explains it for parents in plain language: why starting early helps, what happens in a bilingual child's brain, how small groups affect speaking confidence, and whether online English lessons work for children.
It also answers the questions parents ask most about levels and time: what CEFR levels A1 to C1 mean for a child, and how long the journey from A1 to B2 realistically takes.
Fleydo's group classes are built on these ideas: at most 6 students per class, a curriculum aligned to CEFR from Pre-A1 to B2, and 48 weeks of lessons a year so that progress is steady rather than seasonal.
The Cognitive Advantages of Bilingual Children: What Neuroscience Tells Us
Studies from leading universities confirm that children who learn a second language develop measurably stronger cognitive abilities — from improved attention control to enhanced creative thinking.
Is Online English Learning Effective for Children? What 5 Years of Research Shows
Five years of post-pandemic research have produced a clear verdict: online English classes with small groups and qualified teachers are as effective as — and often more convenient than — traditional classroom instruction.
How English Proficiency Predicts Academic Success at School
Research on school performance shows that students with strong English skills consistently outperform peers across all subjects, and the advantage grows larger each year.
CEFR Levels Explained: A Parent's Guide from A1 to C1
The Common European Framework of Reference for Languages can seem like alphabet soup. This parent-friendly guide explains each level in practical terms and shows how they connect to your child's school goals.
The Critical Period: Why Starting English Before Age 10 Changes Everything
The human brain has a biological window for language acquisition that begins closing around age 10–12. Children who start English during this critical period develop fundamentally different — and stronger — language abilities.
The Science Behind Small Class Sizes: Why 6 Students is the Magic Number
Research consistently shows that language learning outcomes improve dramatically in small groups. Discover why Fleydo's 6-student class size is backed by science and what it means for your child's speaking time, feedback, and confidence.
Why Starting English Early Gives Your Child a Lifelong Advantage
The human brain is uniquely equipped to absorb languages during childhood. Discover why starting English early — and how early — gives your child cognitive, academic, and career advantages that last a lifetime.
The Bilingual Brain: What Neuroscience Tells Us About Children Learning English
Neuroscience reveals that bilingual children develop denser grey matter, stronger executive function, and more efficient neural networks. Understanding how the brain processes a second language can help parents make informed decisions about their child's English education.
How Small Group Dynamics Unlock Your Child's Speaking Confidence
Research in educational psychology reveals that small groups of around six learners create the ideal conditions for language development — balancing peer interaction, individual attention, and the zone of proximal development. Learn why group size is not a logistical detail but a pedagogical decision.
The Link Between English Proficiency and Overall Academic Success
English proficiency is not just a language skill — it is a predictor of overall academic performance. Research reveals that bilingual students develop cognitive advantages that transfer across subjects, from mathematics to science. Understanding this link can reshape how parents think about their child's English education.
From A1 to B2: Realistic Timelines for Your Child's English Development
One of the most common questions parents ask is "How long will it take for my child to reach B2?" The answer depends on many factors, but decades of research from Cambridge, the Goethe-Institut, and the CEFR itself provide clear benchmarks. Understanding these timelines helps parents set realistic expectations and choose programmes that deliver genuine progress.
