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

What do CurioKids lessons cost in Cambodia?

Every plan gives your child the same lesson: 25 minutes, live and 1-to-1 with a real teacher in the CurioKids online classroom. What you choose is how often. Starter is 1 lesson a week, Growth is 2, and Accelerator is 3.

A plan with more lessons each week brings the cost of each lesson down, and Starter has the smallest payment. The classroom and lesson materials come with every plan at no extra charge.

Why are prices for Cambodia in US dollars?

Choosing Cambodia as your country when you create your parent account sets your currency to US dollars, which many families in Cambodia already use for everyday payments alongside the riel. If your card account is in dollars, the amount charged is the amount you saw, with nothing to convert.

If your card is linked to an account in riel, or was issued in another currency, your bank may convert the dollar amount at its own rate, so check with your bank if that matters to you. Payments are handled by Stripe, and CurioKids never sees your full card number.

What does the price cover?

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.

For a child in Cambodia, Phonics Starter is often the heart of it. Khmer has its own script, so English letters, and the sounds they stand for, are new. Learning a few sounds at a time, then blending them into short words, with a teacher listening to your child alone, takes that step carefully rather than rushing it.

How does billing every 4 weeks work through the school year in Cambodia?

The school year in Cambodia runs in terms with holidays between them, and your child's school sets the exact dates. Billing every 4 weeks, not by calendar month, means each payment covers the same number of lessons whatever the calendar does.

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 for Khmer New Year or Pchum Ben, cancel the lessons your child will miss and keep the plan. If school exams fill the evenings, move to Starter until they're over.

When would lessons be in Cambodia time?

When you book, every lesson time is shown in Cambodia time. Cambodia doesn't change its clocks, so a weekly slot stays put. After school, roughly 4pm to 8pm, suits most children, and a Saturday or Sunday morning is another good choice. A 25-minute lesson fits around school and other classes with no journey.

Online lessons need a steady connection, so try a short video call at your planned time first. Headphones with a microphone help in a busy home: your child hears the teacher clearly, and the teacher hears your child.

Which plan suits a child in Cambodia?

Think about where your child is with English letters, and what else the week holds:

• Starter: a child who already goes to an English class outside school and wants 1-to-1 speaking time on top, without making the week too long.
• Growth: a child meeting English letters for the first time, who keeps letter sounds fresh better with two lessons a week than one.
• Accelerator: an older child who reads Khmer well, starts English late and wants to move quickly through the first steps, if they have the energy.

Keep reading and talking in Khmer at home; a strong first language helps a second one. You can change plan at any time. See how many English lessons a week does my child need? and our guide to online English lessons for children in Cambodia.

How does the cost compare with English classes outside school in Cambodia?

Many children in Cambodia, especially in Phnom Penh, Siem Reap and other cities, already go to English classes outside school, and some families use a private tutor. These are often charged by the term, the month or the hour, so check:

• How much one class costs once the term fee is divided by the classes in it.
• How many children share the class, and how often your child gets to speak.
• Whether the class teaches reading step by step or mainly vocabulary and grammar.
• Book and registration fees, and the cost of getting there by moto or tuk-tuk.
• What happens if your child is ill or the family is away.

Some families keep a group class for fun and add a short 1-to-1 lesson for reading and speaking. A group costs less per hour; a 1-to-1 lesson gives your child every minute. Our guide 1-to-1 or group English classes: which suits my child? looks at both.

Is the first lesson free for families in Cambodia?

Yes. Create a parent account, add your child and book without a card. In 25 minutes the teacher gets to know your child, children aged 4 to 12, and sees what they can already do in English. Afterwards you decide; if you don't continue, you owe nothing.
