What is Novakid English?

Novakid started in 2017, in San Francisco, USA. While it main headquarters is still in California,  it works with students and teachers from many countries around the world.

The idea behind Novakid is to make English learning for children easier, more natural, and more enjoyable. The name itself comes from “Nova” (new) and “kid,” showing the focus on giving kids a new way to learn English.

Novakid’s vision is to give young learners the confidence to use English in daily life by practicing through play and interaction, not just memorization.

In terms of recognition, Novakid offers teacher training through its Teacher Academy, which includes a course accredited by CPD (Continuing Professional Development, UK). This gives teachers an additional qualification in teaching English to young learners.

With its background in place, let’s look at how Novakid designs its lessons for different children. Since kids learn in very different ways as they grow, there age-specific programs that match their needs and abilities.

Novakid offers separate programs for three main age ranges:

• Ages 4–6 (Preschool Program): At this stage, lessons focus on play, songs, and visuals. The goal is to introduce English naturally through fun activities, without pressure on reading or writing.
• Ages 7–9 (Junior Program): These lessons begin to mix games with more structured learning. Children start building vocabulary, using simple grammar, and practicing speaking in short sentences.
• Ages 10–13+ (Middle School Program): Here, students are ready for longer conversations, more complex grammar, and reading practice. Lessons also encourage kids to express opinions and understand real-life topics.

Since Novakid classes are typically one-on-one style, each program is tailored to the child’s development stage, so the lessons are age-appropriate and fun. Teachers also adjust the pace for each student. 

After looking at how Novakid groups its students by age, the next step is to understand how they actually teach. 

Novakid uses a play-based and interactive teaching style. Instead of relying on memorization or heavy grammar tables, lessons are designed to feel like games and real-life experiences. This makes learning English more natural and fun for children.

The lessons cover all the main skills:

• Speaking and listening through conversations, songs, and role-play.
• Reading and writing as children get older and ready for more structured practice.

*Progression is gradual and based on levels, which are connected to international standards like the CEFR (A1, A2, B1, etc.). 

Of course, none of this would work without the teachers who make it possible.

Novakid Teachers

Novakid works with qualified English teachers who have experience teaching children. Many are native English speakers, while others are fluent non-native speakers with strong teaching backgrounds.

All teachers go through training to use Novakid’s methods and tools. They also give one-on-one attention during lessons, meaning each child gets direct feedback and encouragement. This personal focus helps build confidence and makes sure the learning fits the student’s level and pace.

Beyond the teachers and teaching style, what also makes Novakid stand out is the online platform itself. The way lessons are delivered and managed plays a big part in keeping learning smooth and enjoyable for both kids and parents.
