How To Efficiently Teach Your Kids From 4 to 12 English Language With Novakids Online Class

 

Novakid review, platform for learning English online

For the review of Novakid, the platform dedicated to children to learn English online, we put Andrea, nine years old, fourth grade, to work.

He attends a state school, which unfortunately does not represent the best practice of teaching English because the hours dedicated to foreign languages ​​are really small and the approach is quite light.

For many years, this has been one of the main worries of the family, convinced that the knowledge of foreign languages ​​is fundamental for the future of our children.

• How Novakid works
• How much does Novakid cost
• The conclusions

For some time, Andrea has been using the tool of online lessons, especially since the pandemic began, to strengthen the study of English and improve his knowledge.

When a few weeks ago Novakid proposed us to try the platform, we approached with enthusiasm but at the same time a little detachment from the idea of ​​a tool that was not connected to physical contact with the teacher.

To date, Andrea had done classes online, but with people he had also met in real life.

The first lesson was truly a show, because Andrea's facial expressions were more than eloquent in giving feedback on what he was doing.

How Novakid works

But let's take a small step back to tell us that novakid is a platform that can be used by buying individual lessons, or by signing up for a subscription that allows access to “package” lessons.

Let's go back a little further on the costs of the lessons.

Booking the lessons is very simple and what we really liked is the fact that a minimum notice is really enough to be able to access the courses, as long as you are available to change teachers from time to time.

If, on the other hand, you prefer to always have the same teacher that I do the real path with your children, it is necessary to plan the lessons a little in advance by choosing a day and a time in which to fix the appointment with the English language.

Access to the platform is very simple, because it does not even require the use of a password, once you have registered an email and a telephone number, to enter the site simply enter one of the two data and you will receive a unique access code.

Upon entering the platform, you must choose the role of parent or student to have the dedicated tools available.

There are two levels of teaching with standard teachers, or with premium teachers, the cost of which changes according to the teaching experience and the fact that the premium teachers are all native speakers.

Once the lesson has been booked, all that remains is to turn on the computer at the right time, ready to take advantage of the webcam and microphone, preferably with the help of a mouse, because sometimes the children with the touchpad can find themselves a bit in difficulty. .

The lessons are held 100% in English, last 25 minutes and are built with the visual support of screens that bring language learning very close to the concept of play, a winning aspect in Novakid 's format .

It is precisely the playful aspect of the lessons, but also the very smiling and light approach of the teachers that makes the experience with Novakid truly enjoyable.

In our case, we can tell that it is the first time that a nine-year-old child asks to book a lesson, giving the experience a completely positive evaluation and a voluntary approach, never taken for granted at this age.

At the end of the single lesson, the teacher expresses an evaluation on the level of learning, makes a small summary of the topics covered and assigns simple "homework", which must be carried out strictly online, always taking advantage of the playful approach of the platform.

How much does Novakid cost, the prices

The other very interesting aspect of Novakid is that of the cost of the service, because the lessons are bought as a package with very competitive prices.

4 lessons in 4 weeks: one lesson per week costs about € 30 per month with standard teachers, € 55 with Premium teachers, which means that you spend about € 7.70 for the standard lesson and about € 13 for the Premium lesson .

8 lessons in 4 weeks. In this case, the child benefits from two lessons a week for a cost of about € 55 for standard lessons and € 99 for Premium ones. The price therefore drops below seven euros per lesson for the standard and below 13 euros for the Premium plan.

12 lessons in 4 weeks . Because he chooses three lessons a week instead, the cost obviously drops further proportionally, with 78 € per month for standard lessons and 140 € per month for Premium. According to experts this would be the ideal frequency for the best learning because it does not represent too frequent a commitment, but it does not allow too much time to pass between one lesson and another. With this plan, the single standard lesson comes at a price of € 6.50, while the Premium lessons cost € 11.70 each.

If lessons are not used, half of those not used will be used to constitute a bonus to be used for subsequent subscriptions.

To do the lessons you need a computer, Mac or Windows, but if you want you can also use the tablet, the only necessary condition is that of the availability of the webcam.

There is also an application, but it cannot be used to give lessons, it works as a Dashboard to monitor the children's study plan and to monitor their progress.

For those who have 3 children studying at the same time on the Novakid platform, there is a bonus that can reach 25%, also for other users there are seasonal promotions, bonuses related to marketing activities, special initiatives, which you can keep an eye on. from the application or site.

Novakid review, the conclusions

We can not help but declare ourselves very satisfied with the test done, our little explorer Andrea has enjoyed it, continues to do so, with his English lessons on the Novakid platform and the value for money is really excellent.

Even more so is the very light and very playful approach but no less effective with the study of the English language.

The platform obviously does not replace the school commitment, but it can be a valid help to improve the study of a language, which unfortunately (especially in the primary classes of the Italian school) is still mistreated.
