What does CurioKids cost for a child in Vietnam?
The three plans are built around one lesson and one question: how many of them a week? Starter is 1, Growth is 2 and Accelerator is 3. Each lesson is live, 1-to-1 and 25 minutes long with a real teacher, in the CurioKids online classroom.
Plans for families in Vietnam cost ₫840,000, ₫1,400,000 or ₫1,960,000 every 4 weeks for 1, 2 or 3 lessons a week, from ₫163,333 per lesson. Every plan can be paid weekly instead.
| Plan | Lessons | Every 4 weeks | Per lesson | Or weekly |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | 1 a week (4 every 4 weeks) | ₫840,000 | ₫210,000 | ₫230,000 a week |
| Growth | 2 a week (8 every 4 weeks) | ₫1,400,000 | ₫175,000 | ₫380,000 a week |

Accelerator brings the price of each lesson down the most, and Starter keeps the payment smallest. The classroom and lesson materials come with the plan at no extra charge.
Do families in Vietnam pay in dong?
Yes. Choosing Vietnam when you create your parent account sets your currency to Vietnamese dong, so the prices you compare and the amount you're charged are in the same currency. With a card from a bank in Vietnam, nothing needs converting.
Paying with a card from a bank abroad? That bank may convert the dong amount at its own rate. Either way the payment goes through Stripe, and CurioKids never sees your full card number.
What is included in 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.
This suits a common gap for children in Vietnam. Vietnamese uses the same letters as English, but many of them stand for different sounds, so a course that teaches the English sound of each letter helps a child read new words the English way. And because English endings such as the s in cats take practice for Vietnamese speakers, a teacher who can listen to your child alone makes a difference. CurioKids is not linked to any exam or school test.
How does paying every 4 weeks work across the Vietnamese school year?
School in Vietnam starts again in September and runs until a long summer holiday, with a break at Tết in between; your child's school publishes the exact dates. A 4-week billing period has the same number of lessons whether it falls in a 30-day month or a 31-day one, and whether it's term time or holiday.
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.
The summer holiday is a natural time to start, or to add a lesson so your child's English keeps going until September. If the family travels for Tết, cancel the lessons that week and keep the plan running.
When would lessons happen in Vietnam time?
When you book, every lesson time is shown in Vietnam time, and Vietnam doesn't change its clocks, so your weekly slot stays at the same hour all year. A 25-minute lesson after school, roughly 4pm to 8pm, fits on a school day; a Saturday or Sunday morning is the other popular choice.
If your child already goes to extra classes after school, an online lesson at home saves a journey. Even so, add up the week: a tired child learns little, and a calm lesson twice a week does more than a rushed one every day.
Which plan suits a child in Vietnam?
Start from where your child's English is now, and from how much time is left after school and other classes:
- Starter, 1 lesson a week: speaking practice to go with the English your child already does at school or in an evening class.
- Growth, 2 lessons a week: a younger child learning English letter sounds with Phonics Starter, or a child working on the word endings and clusters that Vietnamese doesn't have.
- Accelerator, 3 lessons a week: a child who hears only Vietnamese at home and wants faster progress, as long as the timetable leaves time to rest.
Keep Vietnamese strong at home; it supports English rather than competing with it. Plans can be changed at any time. See how many English lessons a week does my child need? and online English lessons for children in Vietnam.
How do I compare the cost with English centres and tutors in Vietnam?
Families in Vietnam can choose an English centre, a private tutor who comes to the house, extra classes run near school, or lessons online. Prices are quoted per course, per month or per session, so line them up on the same terms:
- The price of a single session once you divide by the sessions in a course.
- How long each session lasts, and how much of it your child spends speaking English.
- How many children share the teacher in a centre class.
- Whether a course is paid in full at the start, and whether missed sessions can be made up.
- Placement tests, textbooks and the time spent getting there and back.
Larger classes spread the teacher's cost across many families, so the hourly price is lower; a 1-to-1 lesson gives your child the whole lesson. Our guide 1-to-1 or group English classes: which suits my child? compares the two.
Is the first lesson free for families in Vietnam?
Yes. Set up a parent account, add your child, and book the free first lesson with no card. The teacher spends the 25 minutes getting to know your child, children aged 4 to 12, and finding a starting level. Whether to continue is your choice afterwards; if you don't, there's nothing to pay.
CurioKids opens in one country at a time. If lessons for families in Vietnam haven't opened yet, you'll see a waitlist in place of the prices above. Read what to look for in a free first lesson before you book.

Frequently asked questions

Can my child take extra lessons in the summer holiday?
Yes. You can move to a plan with more lessons a week for the summer, then back to fewer when school starts in September. Changes to your plan can be made at any time.
