Use cases for language schools

Class quality evaluation

Rate individual classes — teaching method, materials, pace, group interaction — to maintain consistently high quality.

Teacher effectiveness tracking

Compare teacher ratings across levels and languages. Identify who excels at beginners vs. advanced students.

Learning progress perception

Ask students if they feel they are improving. Perceived progress is the strongest predictor of re-enrollment.

Re-enrollment prediction

Satisfaction surveys predict which students will renew. Low scores trigger retention campaigns before the term ends.

Student loyalty (NPS)

Measure how likely students are to recommend your school. Word-of-mouth is the top enrollment driver for language schools.

Level placement feedback

Verify that students feel correctly placed. Wrong level = frustration = dropout. Surveys catch misplacements early.

Frequently Asked Questions

When should language schools survey students?

At mid-term and end-of-term for comprehensive feedback. Quick post-class surveys are useful for testing new teachers or formats. Also survey within the first 2 weeks to catch early dissatisfaction.

Should language school surveys be in the student's native language?

Yes. Surveys in the student's native language yield more honest and detailed feedback than surveys in the language they are still learning.

How can surveys reduce dropout at language schools?

Surveys reveal the top dropout causes: wrong level placement, unsuitable pace, teacher mismatch or lack of perceived progress. Fixing these early is the key to retention.

What are the most important survey questions for language schools?

Teacher quality, perceived progress, class pace, materials relevance and NPS. Keep surveys under 5 questions for the best response rates.
