Some elements that online English tutors for kids will incorporate will be: - Stories and stories - Videos and audiovisual material - Talk about everyday life (e.g. vacations). Although it is never too late to learn English and there are effective methodologies for all ages, it is proven that the best stage of life to learn languages is childhood. This is due to the permeability of children to absorb new knowledge, a quality that diminishes as the years go by. Children have a very different way of learning than adults. Therefore, the methodologies to be used should be focused on this segment. The best way to learn English for children will be the one that incorporates play and interaction as the main way of learning, instead of the theoretical explanation of grammatical rules.
🖥Where can I take English classes online?
The best way to take English lessons online is to do it with online English tutors, such as Classgap. At Classgap you have a list of online English tutors for children, from which you can choose the one that best suits your child. The filters in the list will allow you to adjust your search according to criteria such as "native or non-native speaker", "availability" and "price per hour".

👨🏻🏫 How to choose an online English tutor for kids?
Some criteria to take into account will be: - Whether native or non-native speaker (depending on the child's needs and study goals). - Their tastes and interests: they do not necessarily have to coincide, but a greater affinity provides better results. - The teacher's personality and ways of expressing himself/herself. - Years of experience teaching private English to children. - The price and availability: to determine that it fits the family's needs. The online English tutor you choose will have a big impact on the impact of online English lessons on your child's life. Online English lessons are based on dialogue and interaction. It is important that the tutor has a good level of English, and it is also important that he or she has similar tastes and interests to your child, so that conversations flow more naturally and your child becomes enthusiastic about the tutor's proposals. Each person has a different way of incorporating knowledge, so having an initial interview with the online English tutor will be a good idea to get to know him/her better and determine if he/she is the right one.
🌏Who is better a native language tutor or a non-native speaker?
Having a native English tutor online for kids brings benefits that you should consider when signing your child up for private online English lessons. Being interactive English lessons, native English tutors will help your child's English pronunciation to resemble that of a native speaker. On the other hand, an English tutor who shares a native language or nationality with your child may connect better with your child's particular customs, ways and needs (or this factor may not play a role). Go ahead and request an interview with an online English tutor for kids and get all your questions answered.

What should I consider when choosing the best English tutor for my child?
What are the online English classes like at Classgap?
The English classes for your child at Classgap will be completely personalized and individualized. That is, once you select the tutor who will accompany your child in learning and tell him/her what the objectives are, he/she will offer you a planning of the next classes you will have and will periodically inform you of the progress your child will be making. Through the Classgap platform, you will be able to schedule as many classes as you consider convenient, or request an interview with an online English tutor to get to know him/her better and to help you determine how many online English classes to schedule. The classes will be conducted in a videoconference system through our virtual classroom, which integrates a digital whiteboard and all the elements for an optimal online English learning experience. The tutor will adapt his classes and methodology according to the pace at which your child learns, unlike other educational models, in this case the tutor understands where the student's difficulties are and reinforces them. That is why it will be extremely important to choose the ideal teacher. To do this you have a list of online English tutors for children from which you can filter according to your preferences. This way you will be sure to get the most out of the online private English lessons.
What should I explain to the English tutor in the online interview?
When you select the tutor that fits your schedule, the next step is to request a free online interview where you can get to know your child's future tutor. It is important that you explain what you are looking for and commit to a frequency of classes. This is the moment to establish the basis of the English training for your child, so you can write down questions you will want to ask him/her: how the classes are going to be, what is his/her methodology, previous experience training other children in English... But you should also validate their empathy, professionalism and affinity with your child's hobbies. Because if you have the same interests such as swimming, watching series, reading... it will be easier for your child to enjoy the online English classes. And that enjoyment will lead to more progress. Therein lies the success of online English lessons for kids. Because they are dynamic and interactive, learning happens naturally, just as we learn the native language: through play and conversation. So don't hesitate to tell the tutor about your child's likes and dislikes, their favorite ways of interacting, and any other pertinent observations about their study performance. In this way, the teacher will be able to assess whether he/she can help your child learn English and how to plan the lessons.
What is the recommended frequency for my child to take online English classes?
Each person is different and has different learning speeds, depending on their personality, context, previous knowledge and personal tastes. Therefore, there is no single recommended frequency, but each tutor can determine it according to the student and his or her progress. As an initial proposal, it is recommended that you schedule at least one month of classes to determine if the tutor adapts to the child's needs and if he/she is the right one among the options of online English teachers for children that the platform offers. Otherwise, if you change teachers several times, it will be difficult to find the ideal tutor. The online English classes are totally personalized and are adapted to each student's lifestyle, extracurricular activities and learning needs. What does this mean? We know that there are students who do several extracurricular activities, have a great memory capacity, but are embarrassed to speak in English. In these cases, Classgap's English tutors especially reinforce these points to gain confidence in conversation. Although there is no single frequency, most parents whose children are taking online English classes at Classgap tend to average two classes per week for at least 6 months. The most commonly purchased pack of online English lessons is the 10 lessons.
Can I modify the preset filters for Online English Classes for my child?
Yes, from Classgap we have made a pre-selection of the English tutors who give online classes focused on children, who also speak Spanish, can be native English speakers, have contrasted opinions from other parents whose children are currently receiving English classes. The most commonly used filters for selecting the best online English tutor within Classgap are, in order of use, whether the English tutor is a native speaker, the price of the English classes and the availability of the tutor's schedule according to time slots. Other filters available are, for example, the native language of the tutor (in case the tutor is not English), and advanced filters such as English classes for children for exams like Cambridge, IELTS, TOEFL, TOEIC, among others. In this way, online private English classes become the best option for your children to learn to speak the English language, due to their high level of personalization. It is not the same to go to an English institute and choose among the available tutors than to be able to filter each and every one of the characteristics so that your child has the best experience and gets the most out of his or her online English classes.
