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

How much do CurioKids lessons cost in Georgia?

Our plans are named for how often your child learns: Starter at 1 lesson a week, Growth at 2 and Accelerator at 3. The lesson is the same on all three: 25 minutes, live, with a real teacher who works with your child alone.

Each extra weekly lesson brings the price per lesson down, which puts Accelerator lowest per lesson and Starter lowest overall. The classroom and materials cost nothing extra.

Do families in Georgia pay in dollars or lari?

Plans for families in Georgia are priced and charged in US dollars, set by the country you choose when you create a parent account. The dollar figure on your plan is the one billed. Paying with a card in Georgian lari is fine: your bank turns each dollar payment into lari at its own rate, so the lari amount on your statement may shift a little over time.

Stripe handles payments securely, and CurioKids never sees your full card number. If you aren't sure your card can pay in a foreign currency, your bank can confirm it.

What comes with a CurioKids plan?

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.

Children who read Georgian already know that letters stand for sounds, but English brings a new alphabet, capital letters, which everyday Georgian writing doesn't use, and less regular spelling. The reading course covers all three step by step. CurioKids follows its own CEFR-based curriculum and isn't linked to school exams in Georgia.

How does billing every 4 weeks fit the Georgian school year?

Georgian schools generally begin the year in September and end it before a long summer break, with a winter break around New Year and some shorter holidays during the year. Your child's school sets the exact dates. A CurioKids billing period is always 4 weeks long, so each payment covers the same number of lessons, whatever the month.

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.

Spending the summer by the sea or in the village with family? Cancel the lessons you can't make and keep your plan, or keep a few lessons going so English doesn't slip. When autumn gets busy again, Starter is an easy way to keep lessons going with less in the diary.

When would lessons happen in Georgia time?

When you book, every lesson time is shown in Georgia time. Georgia doesn't change its clocks, so a slot set in the first weeks of school is unchanged by midwinter. For many children, a 25-minute lesson fits well after school, between about 4pm and 8pm, between sport or music and supper.

Families with busy weekdays often prefer a Saturday or Sunday morning, when children are rested. See our guide to online lessons across time zones for help choosing a slot.

Which plan suits a child in Georgia?

Look at how much English your child already meets at school and at home, and how much time your week leaves:

• Starter, 1 lesson a week: a child who learns English at school and wants one relaxed, regular chance to use it out loud.
• Growth, 2 lessons a week: a child getting to grips with English capitals, spelling and vowel sounds, who needs practice more than once a week.
• Accelerator, 3 lessons a week: a child with little English around them who wants to move on quickly, while the lessons still feel like fun.

Begin with whichever feels right and change as you go. Our guide how many English lessons a week does my child need? explains the options, and online English lessons for children in Georgia covers English at Georgian schools.

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

Families in Tbilisi, Batumi, Kutaisi and other towns often choose a group course at a language centre, a private tutor, or online lessons. Fees are quoted in different ways, so compare the lessons, not just the headline figure:

• The real price of one lesson, worked out from the monthly or course fee, and how long it lasts.
• Class size, and roughly how much of the lesson your child spends speaking.
• The rules for missed lessons and for stopping partway through a course.
• Charges beyond the lessons, such as course books or registration.
• The trip to lessons: travel costs, traffic and the waiting time for a parent.

Splitting a teacher between several children brings the hourly cost down; a 1-to-1 lesson gives your child far more speaking time. Our guide 1-to-1 or group English classes: which suits my child? looks at the choice.

Is the first lesson free for families in Georgia?

Yes. Sign up as a parent, add your child and pick a time; you won't be asked for a card. The teacher uses the 25 minutes to chat, play and read a little with your child, then records a starting level, for children aged 4 to 12. If you choose not to continue, that's the end of it, with nothing to pay.

CurioKids opens in one country after another. If lessons for families in Georgia haven't opened yet, you'll find a waitlist in the place of the prices. Our guide on what to look for in a free first lesson explains what a good one looks like.
