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

How much do CurioKids lessons cost in Bangladesh?

You choose a plan by how often your child learns: 1 lesson a week on Starter, 2 on Growth, 3 on Accelerator. Every lesson, on every plan, is 25 minutes long, live and 1-to-1 with a real teacher in the CurioKids classroom.

The more lessons a week, the less each one costs, while Starter keeps the payment itself smallest. There are no separate fees for the classroom or for reports on your child's progress.

Do families in Bangladesh pay in taka or dollars?

Plans for families in Bangladesh are priced and charged in US dollars. Your currency comes from the country you choose for your parent account, so pick Bangladesh, and each payment is the dollar amount shown on your plan.

A card that bills in Bangladeshi taka will have each payment converted by your bank at its own rate, so the taka amount on your statement can vary slightly. Before you subscribe, make sure your card is enabled for international online payments. Stripe processes every payment, and CurioKids never sees your full card number.

What do you get for the price?

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.

Whether your child is at a Bangla-medium, English version or English-medium school, lessons start from where they are. A Bangla-medium pupil may spend most of the time speaking and sounding out new words; a child at an English-medium school might work on reading for meaning and writing in their own words. Lessons follow CurioKids' CEFR-based curriculum and aren't linked to the national curriculum, O Levels or school exams.

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

Schools that follow the national curriculum usually run their year from January to December, while many English-medium schools keep a calendar of their own. The two Eid holidays move each year with the lunar calendar. Billing every 4 weeks, not by calendar month, means each payment buys the same number of lessons, wherever those holidays fall.

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.

If the family travels home for Eid, cancel the lessons you'll miss and keep the plan. Around school exams, when evenings get crowded, Starter can lighten the week until things settle.

When would lessons happen in Bangladesh time?

When you book, every lesson time is shown in Bangladesh time, and with no clock changes during the year your slot stays put. Friday is the weekly holiday and many families have Saturday off too, so a Friday or Saturday morning works well for a 25-minute lesson. On school days, we suggest roughly 4pm to 8pm, after your child has had a snack and some rest.

Online lessons also take Dhaka traffic out of the picture: there's no journey to a coaching centre, and your child can start soon after getting home. Keep the device charged in case of a power cut, and use headphones in a busy flat.

Which plan suits a child in Bangladesh?

The school's medium is a good place to start, along with how much English your child hears outside school:

• Starter, 1 lesson a week: a child at an English-medium or English version school who needs a weekly chance to speak freely around a full timetable.
• Growth, 2 lessons a week: a child at a Bangla-medium school building speaking and reading, with a few days between lessons to practise.
• Accelerator, 3 lessons a week: a child preparing to move to an English-medium school, or a younger child starting to read in English, who looks forward to lessons several times a week.

Bangla at home is a strength, so keep reading and talking in it; English lessons build on it. You can change plan any time. See how many English lessons a week does my child need? and our guide to online English lessons for children in Bangladesh.

How does the cost compare with coaching centres and home tutors?

Families in Bangladesh often weigh up a coaching centre, batch tuition with a group of classmates, a private tutor who comes to the house, or lessons online. Fees are set monthly, per subject or per batch, so compare the details rather than the total:

• What one session costs, and how many minutes it lasts.
• The size of the batch, and how much of the session your child spends speaking.
• Whether the tutor follows school homework or works on your child's own gaps.
• Admission fees, notes or book costs on top of the monthly amount.
• Travel time through traffic, and the cost of getting there.

Group coaching shares one teacher's time among many children, which keeps the price per hour down; in a 1-to-1 lesson the teacher's attention is on your child the whole time. 1-to-1 or group English classes: which suits my child? looks at both.

Is the first lesson free, and when can families in Bangladesh start?

Yes. Make a parent account, add your child and book the first lesson; you won't be asked for a card. The teacher spends the 25 minutes getting to know your child, hearing their English and choosing a starting point, whether that is Phonics Starter or a CEFR-based level. Continuing is your decision, and if you stop there, nothing is owed.
