No. "We can help you to improve your English" is possible.

Is it possible to omit 'help you to' from bhaisahab's sentence above?

Not a teacher.

I find "We can improve your English" unnatural. You might hear it but the only person who can improve their English is the learner. Teachers facilitate that improvement.
