The price of online English training courses is different in three aspects: teachers, teaching mode and marketing means. As far as teachers are concerned, almost all online English training institutions now teach in English by foreign teachers, and the teachers hired are no longer teachers from offline institutions, but foreign teachers. Some institutions also provide joint teaching for Chinese and foreign teachers. Such an all-English classroom provides an immersive language environment for children from an early age, which is conducive to the formation of children's sense of language.
But there are also differences between foreign teachers and foreign teachers. For example, some foreign teachers hired by online English institutions mainly come from European and American countries. Such foreign teachers grew up in western society, and English itself is their mother tongue. Another part of online English institutions hire foreign teachers from Asian countries such as the Philippines. Although such foreign teachers can also speak fluent English, their life background is different from that of western society since childhood, and there are also problems such as nonstandard English pronunciation. This is also one of the key points of the price difference of online English institutions. Professional foreign teachers from Europe and America have relatively high working hours, while those from Asian countries have relatively low working hours. Obviously, the input cost of institutions is different.
Secondly, as far as the teaching mode is concerned, online English institutions can be roughly divided into two categories according to the teaching mode: one-to-one and one-to-many. The former is a foreign teacher who specializes in online face-to-face tutoring for one student, and the latter is a foreign teacher who takes four or more students at the same time. Then the advantages and disadvantages of the two are obvious. One-on-one mode is more targeted, and the teaching plan specially formulated by teachers for students will make parents feel more at ease. One-to-many mode scores a lot in pertinence, and there are too many students. It is possible that one student will delay the whole classroom if something goes wrong.
English institutions that advocate one-to-one mode charge more than 100 yuan for a course, while institutions that advocate one-to-many mode charge relatively low fees. In fact, in addition to these two options, parents can also choose one-to-two mode. One-to-two mode is just right for the number of online classes, which can help children to learn in a targeted way, and at the same time, it can activate the classroom atmosphere and achieve good learning results. In terms of price, it is also more cost-effective. For example, in the training institutions with the main push 1 pair-2 mode, the price of a 30-minute course is between 60-90 yuan.
The price of training courses is indeed an important standard for parents to refer to, but the most important thing is to examine whether online English classes can provide a good language environment for children and whether a suitable growth environment can turn oranges into oranges instead of sour oranges. The author's suggestion is that parents and children should listen together more.
