Every parent wants their child to have more opportunities.

Better communication.
More confidence.
A stronger future.
And, of course, the ability to speak English without freezing the moment someone asks, “How are you?”

For many families, English is not just another school subject. It is a life skill. It can help children travel, study, make friends, understand the world, and feel more confident in international situations.

However, many parents notice the same problem.

Their child may know some English words.
They may understand cartoons or songs.
They may even do well in school exercises.

But when it is time to actually speak English, they become shy, quiet, or unsure.

That is exactly why VerbaKid was created.

VerbaKid is an online English school for children aged 4 to 15. It offers private 1-on-1 live English lessons with real certified teachers through video call. More importantly, VerbaKid focuses on helping children speak English with confidence, not just memorize vocabulary or watch videos.

Because children do not become confident English speakers by sitting silently in front of a screen.

They become confident by speaking, trying, making mistakes safely, and being guided by a teacher who understands them.

What Is VerbaKid?

VerbaKid is an online English learning platform designed especially for children.

Children learn English through private live video lessons with certified English teachers. Each lesson is 1-on-1, which means the teacher focuses only on one child at a time.

This is important because every child learns differently.

Some children are shy.
Some are full of energy.
Some need help with vocabulary.
Others understand English but do not feel brave enough to speak.

In a private lesson, the teacher can adjust the pace, level, questions, and support to match the child’s needs.

Instead of following a one-size-fits-all approach, VerbaKid gives each child a more personal learning experience.

The Main Difference: Speaking Comes First

Many English programs teach children by showing videos, giving worksheets, or asking them to memorize words.

Those things can help, but they are not enough.

A child may memorize the word “apple,” but can they say:

“I like apples.”
“I ate an apple today.”
“My favourite fruit is an apple.”

That is the real difference.

At VerbaKid, children speak with a real teacher in every lesson. They answer questions, practise useful sentences, build vocabulary, improve listening, and learn how to express themselves in English.

The goal is not only:

“Does the child know English?”

The deeper goal is:

“Can the child use English?”

That is why VerbaKid focuses on speaking and confidence first.

Why Confidence Matters So Much for Children

Children can know the answer and still stay silent.

This happens all the time.

A child may understand the teacher’s question, but worry about saying the wrong word. Another child may know the vocabulary, but feel nervous about pronunciation. Some children simply need more time before they feel comfortable speaking.

That is why confidence is not a small extra. It is the foundation.

When a child feels safe, they try.
When they try, they speak.
When they speak, they improve.
And when they improve, they begin to believe, “I can do this.”

VerbaKid lessons are designed to make children feel supported, not judged.

Mistakes are not treated like failures. Instead, they are part of the learning journey.

For example, if a child says:

“She have a dog.”

A good teacher can gently model:

“Yes, she has a dog. Great sentence!”

This way, the child hears the correct English without feeling embarrassed.

That is how confidence grows.

Meet Verbo: The Learning Buddy That Grows With Your Child

One of the most special parts of VerbaKid is Verbo.

Verbo is the VerbaKid mascot and learning buddy. But Verbo is not just there to look cute, although yes, Verbo is very cute.

Verbo grows and evolves as the child completes more lessons.

This makes learning feel more like a journey. Children can see that their progress matters. Each lesson becomes part of something bigger.

For children, motivation is very important. They do not always think, “I should study English because it will help my future career.”

They are children. Sometimes they are more motivated by stories, characters, rewards, progress, and fun.

That is why Verbo helps make English learning feel more exciting and game-like.

As the child grows, Verbo grows too.

It gives children a simple feeling:

“I am moving forward.”

And that feeling can be very powerful.

How VerbaKid Works

VerbaKid is designed to be simple for parents and supportive for children.

Here is how it works.

1. The Parent Books a Free Trial Lesson

The first lesson is completely free, and no credit card is needed.

This gives parents a chance to see how VerbaKid works before making a decision. It also gives the child a chance to meet a teacher, experience the lesson style, and see if they feel comfortable.

For many parents, this first lesson is important because it answers questions like:

Will my child enjoy it?
Will the teacher understand my child’s level?
Will my child speak?
Will online lessons work for us?

A free trial lesson makes the first step easier and pressure-free.

2. The Child Meets Their Teacher in a Private 1-on-1 Video Lesson

During the lesson, the child meets a real English teacher through video call.

Because the lesson is private, the child does not need to compete with other students or feel nervous in front of a group.

The teacher can focus fully on the child’s speaking, listening, vocabulary, pronunciation, confidence, and learning style.

For shy children, this can make a big difference.

A private lesson often feels safer than a group lesson, especially when a child is still building confidence.

3. The Teacher Assesses the Child’s Level

During the trial and early lessons, the teacher observes the child’s level.

The teacher looks at things like:

• vocabulary
• speaking confidence
• listening understanding
• pronunciation
• sentence building
• reading ability when appropriate
• how the child responds to questions

After that, the teacher can help build a personal learning plan.

This means the child does not waste time on lessons that are too easy or feel lost in lessons that are too difficult.

The goal is to find the right level and move forward step by step.

4. Parents Receive a Progress Report After Every Lesson

One of the biggest worries parents have with online learning is:

“How do I know if my child is actually improving?”

VerbaKid solves this with detailed teacher reports after every lesson.

After each class, parents can see what their child practised, what went well, what needs more support, and how the child is progressing.

This helps parents feel involved, even if they are not sitting inside the lesson.

Instead of guessing, parents receive real feedback.

5. Parents Track Progress Through the Parent Portal

VerbaKid also gives parents access to a unique Parent Portal.

Parents receive a portal code that allows them to follow their child’s progress after lessons.

Inside the Parent Portal, parents can track:

• speaking scores
• vocabulary progress
• listening progress
• teacher reports
• lesson improvement
• weekly development

This is helpful because progress in language learning can sometimes feel invisible.

A child may be improving little by little, but parents may not always notice it immediately. The Parent Portal helps make that progress clearer.

It shows the journey, not just the final result.

Why the Parent Portal Is So Useful

Many parents want to stay involved in their child’s learning, but they do not always know what to look for.

The Parent Portal gives parents a simple way to see how their child is doing.

Instead of only asking:

“How was your lesson?”

and getting the classic child answer:

“Good.”

parents can actually see what happened.

They can read the teacher’s report, check progress, and understand which skills are improving.

This gives parents peace of mind.

It also helps them support their child at home. For example, if the report says the child practised animal vocabulary, the parent can ask simple questions during the week:

“What animal do you like?”
“Is the lion big or small?”
“Can a bird fly?”

Small follow-up moments like these help children remember and use what they learned.

VerbaKid Levels: A Clear English Learning Journey

VerbaKid has 6 levels, from complete beginner to advanced.

This gives children a structured path instead of random lessons with no clear direction.

Level 0: Starter

Ages: 4 to 5
Lessons: 58
Estimated time: Around 7 months

This level is for very young beginners. Children start with simple words, sounds, greetings, colours, numbers, family words, animals, and basic speaking confidence.

At this stage, lessons are gentle, visual, and playful.

Level 1: Beginner

Ages: 6 to 7
Lessons: 56
Estimated time: Around 6 to 7 months

Children begin building more vocabulary and simple sentence patterns. They practise answering easy questions and using English in short, useful phrases.

Level 2: Elementary

Ages: 8 to 9
Lessons: 56
Estimated time: Around 6 to 7 months

At this level, children begin using English more actively. They can practise describing pictures, answering questions, reading simple texts, and building stronger listening skills.

Level 3: Intermediate

Ages: 10 to 11
Lessons: 60
Estimated time: Around 7 months

Children work on longer sentences, real conversation, reading comprehension, opinions, grammar patterns, and more confident speaking.

Level 4: Upper Intermediate

Ages: 12 to 13
Lessons: 72
Estimated time: Around 8 to 9 months

This level helps children express more detailed ideas. They practise stronger communication, more advanced vocabulary, discussion skills, and structured speaking.

Level 5: Advanced

Ages: 13 to 15
Lessons: 80
Estimated time: Around 8 to 9 months

Advanced students work toward fluent, confident English use. They practise more complex speaking, reading, listening, opinions, explanations, and real-world communication.

Altogether, the full VerbaKid journey includes 382 lessons over roughly 3 to 4 years, taking a child from complete beginner to advanced.

Of course, every child is different. Some may move faster, while others may need more time. However, the clear level structure helps parents understand the path ahead.

Who Are the Teachers?

VerbaKid lessons are taught by certified English teachers who specialize in teaching children.

This matters because teaching children is very different from teaching adults.

Children need patience, energy, encouragement, clear instructions, and a warm learning environment.

A good children’s teacher knows how to:

• ask age-appropriate questions
• help shy children speak
• correct mistakes gently
• keep lessons engaging
• build vocabulary naturally
• encourage full sentences
• notice when a child needs help
• make learning feel safe

After every lesson, the teacher also writes a detailed progress report for the parent.

This keeps learning personal, transparent, and connected.

How Much Does VerbaKid Cost?

VerbaKid keeps pricing clear and simple.

The first lesson is completely free, and no credit card is needed.

After that, parents can choose a plan:

• 1 month plan: $14 per lesson
• 3 month plan: $12 per lesson
• 6 month plan: $10 per lesson

This gives families flexibility depending on their goals and schedule.

Some parents may want to start slowly. Others may want a longer plan for better value and stronger consistency.

Either way, the free trial lesson helps parents decide if VerbaKid is the right fit before starting.

Who Is VerbaKid For?

VerbaKid is for families around the world who want their child to speak English with real confidence.

It is especially helpful for parents who want their child to:

• speak English more naturally
• build vocabulary
• improve listening
• answer questions with confidence
• practise with a real teacher
• feel safe making mistakes
• receive personal attention
• follow a clear learning path
• enjoy English, not fear it

VerbaKid is not only for children who are already confident.

It is also for shy children, beginners, and children who understand some English but do not yet speak much.

In fact, those children often benefit deeply from private, supportive lessons.

Why VerbaKid Is Different From Just Watching Videos

Videos can be helpful. Apps can be fun. Songs can support listening.

However, a child cannot build real speaking confidence by only watching.

Speaking requires interaction.

A teacher asks a question.
The child thinks.
The child answers.
The teacher listens.
The teacher responds.
The child tries again.

That back-and-forth is where communication grows.

VerbaKid gives children the chance to use English, not only hear it.

This is one of the biggest differences.

What Parents Can Expect From VerbaKid

Parents can expect a learning experience that is:

• personal
• structured
• warm
• child-focused
• confidence-building
• transparent
• progress-based

The child receives real speaking practice.

The parent receives clear feedback.

The teacher guides the learning.

And Verbo makes the journey feel more fun and motivating.

This combination helps English become less scary and more natural for children.

Why Speaking Confidence Comes Before Perfect English

At VerbaKid, the goal is not to make children feel perfect.

The goal is to help them feel brave enough to speak.

Perfect grammar can come later. First, the child needs the courage to try.

A child who says:

“I like dog.”

is already communicating.

With support, that can become:

“I like dogs.”

Later, it can become:

“I like dogs because they are friendly.”

That is how language grows.

One word becomes a sentence.
One sentence becomes a conversation.
One conversation becomes confidence.

Final Thoughts: VerbaKid Helps Children Grow Step by Step

With private 1-on-1 live lessons, certified teachers, detailed progress reports, the Parent Portal, and Verbo’s evolving learning journey, VerbaKid gives children a clear and motivating way to grow.
