How much do online English lessons for kids cost in Azerbaijan?

How much do CurioKids lessons cost in Azerbaijan?

Plans are measured in lessons a week: 1 with Starter, 2 with Growth, 3 with Accelerator. The lesson never changes from plan to plan. It is always 25 minutes, live on video, with a real teacher focused only on your child.

Adding lessons lowers what each one costs, so Accelerator gives the lowest price per lesson and Starter the lowest bill. There is no separate charge for the classroom, materials or progress updates.

Which currency do families in Azerbaijan pay in?

Families in Azerbaijan are shown and charged CurioKids prices in US dollars. The currency follows the country you choose when you open your parent account, and your plan shows the dollar amount you'll pay. With a card in Azerbaijani manat, the bank converts each dollar payment at its own rate, so the manat amount on your statement may not be identical every time.

Stripe processes the payments, and CurioKids never sees your full card number. Check with your bank that your card can make payments in foreign currencies if you haven't used it that way before.

What does a CurioKids plan give my child?

Every plan includes the same: live, 1-to-1, 25-minute lessons with a real teacher for children aged 4 to 12, in the CurioKids online classroom with video, an interactive whiteboard, lesson slides and games. Most children start with Phonics Starter, our 52-lesson reading course, then move through CEFR-based levels Pre-A1, A1 and A2. Teachers give feedback after lessons, you follow progress in your parent dashboard, and there is no charge for materials. See our curriculum and safety pages.

Azerbaijani uses Latin letters too, which helps, but c, j and x stand for different sounds in English, and English spelling is far less regular. The reading course makes those differences clear, and teachers practise English word order, where the verb comes after the subject. Our curriculum is CurioKids' own, with no link to school exams in Azerbaijan.

How does billing every 4 weeks fit the school year in Azerbaijan?

Schools in Azerbaijan generally open in September and close for a long summer holiday, with a winter break and a spring break along the way. Your child's school can tell you the exact dates. As every CurioKids billing period lasts 4 weeks, the number of lessons in each payment stays the same through every season.

Plans bill every 4 weeks, not by calendar month, so every billing period has the same number of lessons: 13 payments a year. Every plan can be paid weekly instead, and paying every 4 weeks costs less than four weekly payments. You're charged when you subscribe and then at the start of each billing period. Your price is locked on your subscription, so future price changes don't affect you. You can change plan or cancel anytime, and cancel a single lesson up to 2 hours before it starts.

Celebrating Novruz in March with family, or spending summer weeks outside Baku? Cancel the lessons you'll miss and keep your plan. If the end of the school year gets hectic, switching to Starter for a while keeps English in the week without adding strain.

When would lessons happen in Azerbaijan time?

When you book, every lesson time is shown in Azerbaijan time. Azerbaijan doesn't change its clocks, so you won't have to rethink the slot as the seasons turn. A 25-minute lesson usually sits comfortably after school, between about 4pm and 8pm, before your child gets too tired.

If weekday afternoons are packed with clubs and homework, try a Saturday or Sunday morning instead. With no traffic to sit in, the lesson is the only time it takes. Our guide to online lessons across time zones helps you choose.

Which plan suits a child in Azerbaijan?

Many children in Azerbaijan learn in Azerbaijani and also know Russian, so weigh up how much English they meet and how busy their days are:

• Starter, 1 lesson a week: a child who has English at school and wants a weekly conversation with a teacher to build confidence.
• Growth, 2 lessons a week: a child sorting out letters like c, j and x in English reading, who gains from meeting them twice a week.
• Accelerator, 3 lessons a week: an enthusiastic beginner who wants to make up ground quickly, if three lessons fit without tiring them.

Plans can be changed at any time, so try one and see. Our guide how many English lessons a week does my child need? explains the choice, and online English lessons for children in Azerbaijan covers English at school and at home.

How does the cost compare with language centres and tutors in Azerbaijan?

Families in Baku and other cities often decide between a group course at a language centre, a private tutor, or online lessons. The fees are set up in different ways, so compare what your child receives for them:

• The cost per lesson when the fee is divided out, and how many minutes of teaching that buys.
• The number of children in each class, and how much your child gets to speak.
• What happens to a lesson your child can't attend, and the notice needed to stop.
• Fees for registration, books or materials that aren't in the advertised price.
• The time spent in traffic or waiting outside, and what the journeys cost.

Sharing a teacher keeps a group course cheaper per hour; a 1-to-1 lesson lets your child do most of the talking. Our guide 1-to-1 or group English classes: which suits my child? compares the two.

Do families in Azerbaijan get a free first lesson?

Yes. Set up a parent account, add your child and book, with no card required. Across 25 minutes the teacher talks and plays with your child, checks some reading and records where to start, for children aged 4 to 12. Whether to continue is up to you, and if you stop there, you aren't charged anything.

Lessons open country by country. If they haven't opened for families in Azerbaijan yet, a waitlist takes the place of the prices on this page. Our guide on what to look for in a free first lesson explains how to make the most of it.
