Language Learning — Nationwide

When to choose group classes vs. 1-on-1 tutoring

Online group classes cost 150,000đ per 90-minute session, or 1,100,000đ for an 8-session monthly package, and suit beginners working on basic conversation without pressure, studying alongside 4-8 other learners. 1-on-1 tutoring costs 250,000đ/hour online or 300,000đ/hour at home, and suits learners who need fast progress within 2-3 months, long-standing weak foundations, or exam prep on a tight deadline. 1-on-2/3 classes at 400,000đ per 90-minute session sit in between — small-group interaction plus individual pronunciation correction, at a lower per-person cost than 1-on-1.

Vietnamese tutor or native-speaker tutor?

Vietnamese tutors teaching English 1-on-1 charge 250,000-300,000đ/hour and suit learners who need grammar explained in Vietnamese to save time understanding lessons. Native-speaker tutors charge 450,000đ/hour and suit learners already at B1-B2 level who need natural listening-speaking reflexes and accent correction toward American or British English. For Japanese, Korean, French and German, 1-on-1 tutor rates range 230,000-280,000đ/hour depending on language and whether the goal is conversation or certificate exam prep.

IELTS, TOEIC, HSK, JLPT, TOPIK prep: real costs

1-on-1 IELTS courses cost 3,000,000-25,000,000đ depending on starting score and target score — a short course moving from band 4.0 to 5.5 costs far less than one moving from 6.0 to 7.5+, which needs many more hours on Writing and Speaking. Small-group TOEIC courses have a fixed price of từ 1.500.000đ, suited to learners chasing a graduation or hiring threshold. HSK courses cost 2,000,000-15,000,000đ depending on HSK level 1-6. Japanese and Korean tutors already fold JLPT/TOPIK prep into regular conversation lessons at 230,000-250,000đ/hour, so a separate exam-prep course isn't needed for lower levels.

Corporate English training: the process for companies

Corporate English training costs 15,000,000-150,000,000đ per package, quoted based on headcount, sessions per week and goal (office communication, industry-specific English, in-house TOEIC prep). Companies submit a request through vServe's quote mode; the provider surveys the staff group's starting level before finalizing the curriculum and price, avoiding a single flat rate applied to groups with very different starting levels.

Booking on vServe and notes specific to Vietnam

Booking on vServe takes 3 steps: pick the service and format (online/at-home/hybrid), check the provider's open slots, then pay and get a confirmed session. Instant-mode services get scheduled immediately; quote-mode services (IELTS, HSK, corporate training, personalized roadmap) need a provider quote within 24 hours. Note: vServe verifies business/individual identity via tax code or business registration, but does not verify a tutor's teaching certificate or language qualifications — ask about credentials and exam-prep experience yourself before booking your first session.
