Online English lessons for kids: a guide for parents
Online English lessons can be a great way for children to hear and speak English with a real teacher. Here's how to choose well.
What to look for in a kids' teacher
- Experience teaching children of your child's age (check their subjects and reviews).
- A friendly, energetic style with games, songs, pictures or stories.
- Clear communication with parents about progress.
Before the first lesson
- Set up a quiet space and test the camera and sound.
- Tell the teacher your child's age, level and interests.
- For young children, sit nearby for the first lessons.
Helping at home
- Ask your child to teach you one new word after each lesson.
- Read simple English picture books together.
- Keep lessons regular, at a time when your child isn't tired.
