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

How much are CurioKids lessons for a child in Lebanon?

The plan you choose decides how many lessons your child has each week: 1 on Starter, 2 on Growth, 3 on Accelerator. Nothing else changes. Each lesson is live and 1-to-1, lasts 25 minutes and is taught by a real teacher in the CurioKids online classroom.

The more lessons in a week, the less each lesson costs, and Starter is the lightest commitment. You won't find a separate fee for the classroom or for reports on your child's progress.

What currency are plans for Lebanon in?

Plans for families in Lebanon are priced in US dollars. When you create your parent account and choose Lebanon, prices appear in dollars, and payments are taken in dollars.

If your card is in Lebanese pounds or another currency, your bank may convert the dollar amount before it reaches your statement. Payments run through Stripe, and CurioKids never sees your full card number.

What is in each 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.

For a child who already reads French, English phonics has a particular job: the two languages share letters but not sounds, so ch, i and final consonants work differently. Learning English sounds as their own system helps keep the two apart. CurioKids follows its own curriculum and not the school programme, whether the school teaches maths and science in French or in English.

How does billing every 4 weeks suit the Lebanese school year?

The school year in Lebanon runs from the autumn to early summer, with holidays through the year. A bill every 4 weeks always covers the same lessons, so a month with a long holiday doesn't change what you pay for.

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.

Travelling over a holiday? Cancel the lessons you'll miss, and the plan carries on. In the summer, a child at a francophone school might move up to Growth to give English more time while school is out.

What lesson times suit a family in Lebanon?

When you book, every lesson time is shown in Lebanon time. On school days, a slot between about 4pm and 8pm fits after school and homework. Saturday and Sunday mornings are another choice, with no school to fit around.

Lebanon moves its clocks forward in spring and back in autumn. If your child's teacher is somewhere that changes on other dates, or not at all, a lesson can shift by an hour for a week or two, so check your upcoming times then. Where power or internet is less steady at certain hours, pick a slot when it is usually reliable. Our guide to online lessons across time zones has more.

Which plan suits a child in Lebanon?

The school's main foreign language is a good place to start:

• Starter, 1 lesson a week: a child at an anglophone school who uses English all day and wants a relaxed space to speak at their own level.
• Growth, 2 lessons a week: a child at a francophone school, where English is the third language with fewer hours, so two lessons a week help it catch up.
• Accelerator, 3 lessons a week: a child changing to an anglophone school, or one whose English lags well behind their French and Arabic.

You can move between plans as needs change. Our guide how many English lessons a week does my child need? goes into detail, and online English lessons for children in Lebanon explains how English sits beside Arabic and French.

How do I compare the cost with a tutor at home or an after-school class?

Parents in Lebanon may already use a private tutor for school subjects, an after-school English class or lessons online. Tutors usually charge by the hour and classes by the month or term, so compare like with like:

• What a single lesson works out at, and how long it lasts.
• Whether the lesson is spent on English itself, or on French or school homework.
• How many children share the teacher's attention.
• Extra charges for books or registration.
• Lessons lost to travel, traffic or a power cut, and whether you can rearrange them.

Group lessons usually cost less per hour because the cost is split, and so is the attention. Our guide 1-to-1 or group English classes: which suits my child? weighs them up.

What happens in the free first lesson?

You create a parent account, add your child and book a free first lesson, with no card. The teacher gets to know your child, checks their English and notes a starting level, so the next lessons suit children aged 4 to 12 wherever they begin. If you choose not to continue, there's no charge.
