At Novakid children learn English as a native language. Students' skills are trained in live communication with native speakers. A class is organized in a fun yet efficient way and lasts for 25 minutes so that kids don't lose concentration and acquire and retain the material more effectively. The main teaching tool is a virtual classroom which turns a lesson into an exciting quest!
Parents can easily monitor their kids' progress through the system of achievements
Check programs based on your child's level of English
Check programs based on your child's age
Novakid programs are built in accordance with the A1 and A2 levels of the European CEFR standard, which corresponds to the Cambridge English YLE Starters, Movers and Flyers tests. During a trial class, teachers determine the level of English and further monitor their development as they continue their studies to ensure they progress.

Novakid programs take into account psychological characteristics of children of different ages. At a trial lesson, the teacher determines a kid's level considering their age and knowledge. Novakid teachers and methodologists monitor progress and adjust the program according to the child's needs throughout the entire learning process.

Novakid programs are based on the principles of CEFR and consist of 4 main levels, a special programme for pre-school kids and an advanced speaking intensive course "Time2Talk". Levels consist of units. Each unit has 4 classes of the same topic with defined grammar, vocabulary and speaking practice.
Teachers monitor, manage and reward students' progress with achievements and certificates. Additionally, we have special grammar, speaking and reading classes so that teachers can adjust the curriculum individually for each child based on their specific needs!
A lesson lasts for 25 minutes. This is the perfect amount of time as the child does not get tired and can learn the material effectively. Studies confirm that at individual classes (especially with a native speaker!) workload is much larger than in group settings.

Levels consist of units. A Unit is a set of classes on one topic. Each unit introduces new vocabulary and grammar and trains pronunciation and speaking. Units mainly consist of 4 lessons. Every 4th lesson reviews the material of the topic.
A lesson lasts for 25 minutes. This is a perfect time as a child does not get tired and is able to learn the material. Studies confirm that in individual classes (especially with a native speaker) student workload is much bigger than in group settings.
We are convinced that students should have fun in classes and be proud of their progress in English. After completing each level and after Assessment classes Novakid students receive certificates of achievements, and parents can even share these certificates on their social networks!
We track the progress of our students and regularly send certificates of acquired skills
At the end of each level, students receive a certificate - their first serious achievement in learning English!
When using the Total Physical Response (TPR) method, a teacher not only shows slides but performs the material with gestures, facial expressions and movements. Children are happy to repeat movements after teachers and they learn the material much faster and more efficiently. Together with the communicative approach, the TPR method gives good results. We see that after just a month of regular lessons even children who have not studied English before, begin to speak.
We carefully select our teachers. After rigorously checking diplomas and certificates, we ask them to conduct a ‘live’ demo-class with a Novakid specialist to test the professionalism of the teacher.
