Information for parents
iGreener runs small live online English classes of up to 8 learners, taught by Nam (Đặng Phương Nam) on Zoom from the Gold Coast, Australia. Course 1 starts on Monday 9 November 2026: 12 weeks, 24 sessions of 2 hours, from 19:00 to 21:00 Vietnam time.
The three Course 1 classes
| Class | For | Schedule | Dates | Goal after 2 courses |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| IELTS Foundation | Age 15+ (14 with parent consent), placement about IELTS 3.5–4.5 | Mondays and Thursdays, 19:00–21:00 | Mon 9 Nov 2026 – Mon 1 Feb 2027 | IELTS 5.0–5.5 |
| IELTS Intermediate | Age 15+ (14 with parent consent), placement about IELTS 5.0–5.5 | Tuesdays and Fridays, 19:00–21:00 | Tue 10 Nov 2026 – Tue 16 Feb 2027 | IELTS 6.0–6.5 |
| Real-World English | Age 15+: school students and working adults together (younger with a clear need and parent consent) | Wednesdays and Saturdays, 19:00–21:00 | Wed 11 Nov 2026 – Sat 30 Jan 2027 | Confident everyday English at B1 |
Real-World English is for age 15 and over: school students and working adults learn together. Younger learners can join when they have a clear need and a parent agrees. iGreener does not promise a band after one course: moving up one level usually takes 150–200 hours of guided learning.
Public holidays and breaks
Sessions that fall on a Vietnamese public holiday or an iGreener break (Christmas Day and New Year's Eve) move to the next class day, so your child still gets all 24 sessions.

| Thu 31 Dec 2026 | New Year's Eve (iGreener break) | IELTS Foundation |
| Tue 24 Nov 2026 | Vietnamese Culture Day | IELTS Intermediate |
