Review of Novakid


Rated 3 out of 5 stars

many questions, few answers

Good afternoon. My son started learning English at your school. According to the results of the trial lesson, he showed a level 4 knowledge of the language. This fact was not taken into account when choosing group classes. As a result, the group lesson was held in the company of children at a much lower level. My son didn't like it, it was boring, although he is very happy with the teacher. How do I choose a group based on my level of language proficiency? before paying for the lessons, it was not known about the duration of the lesson. I was sure that the lesson would last at least 45 minutes, or even 60. but no! 30 minutes! That's an awful lot for that kind of money and the age of 12. There are no reminders about classes. We got the time wrong by half an hour today. I had to skip class. It's very disappointing. I hope tomorrow the individual lesson will correspond to the level and age of my son. It was also a shame not to receive a response to a request for the opportunity to study with a teacher who taught a trial lesson. We have not received a response. So far, I'm just getting disappointed. There are English language schools that are better focused on their clients.

Hello, Jane!
Thank you for your detailed feedback. It’s very valuable to us.

We’re sorry the group class didn’t meet your expectations. Groups are formed based on both the child’s level and age, but we understand that sometimes the match may not feel ideal. You can try switching to a different group with another teacher. Sometimes a different dynamic works better.

Our classes are 25 minutes long because this format keeps kids engaged and focused. However, at your current level, you can book double 50-minute lessons. If you're interested, we’ll gladly help set it up!

About reminders — they’re sent via push notifications in the Novakid mobile App. Make sure the App is installed and notifications are enabled ✔️

As for the teacher from the trial lesson, unfortunately, that teacher is no longer working with us, which is why she’s unavailable for booking.

If you still have concerns about the level of individual lessons or anything else, feel free to contact us through the chat in your Novakid account. We’re here to help and happy to find the best solution! ☺️

Best regards,
Elizabeth R.,
Director of Novakid Global.
