Engoo’s popularity in online English education in Taiwan needs no introduction. It has had A-Di & Di-Mei and Wu Kang-Ren as spokespeople and is the designated platform for many corporate training programs.
As a learner who has used online platforms for many years, I’m curious about Engoo’s reputation for offering the most affordable online tutoring. Is it really any good? This article will provide you with: Engoo reviews , platform introduction, fees, teacher qualifications and materials, teaching methods, and advantages and disadvantages.
Foreword
Engoo is the Taiwan branch of DMM , an online English learning platform based in Japan. DMM’s fees are much more affordable than those in Taiwan, and it offers more learning materials than Engoo.
Many netizens use VPNs to access services in Japan, but I personally find it a bit lazy because the class interface is in Japanese and you have to remember the time difference when booking classes. Therefore, this article will mainly focus on introducing Engoo.

Engoo Teacher Training Materials
- The main faculty group is from the Philippines, with secondary groups from Taiwan, Eastern Europe, the UK and the US, Australia and Canada, Ireland, and South Africa.

※ A Japanese version of DMM learning materials is attached for reference. There are many special materials that Engoo does not have.

How to choose an Engoo teacher?
- It is recommended to select teachers with a rating of 4.85 or higher and more than 500 teaching experiences.
The teachers on Engoo are synchronized with DMM, so the reviews include those left by users in Taiwan as well as Japan.
If we estimate that each teacher teaches an average of 4 classes a day, that’s about 80 classes a month. More than 500 classes means that the teacher has been teaching at Engoo for at least six months. Filipino teachers are better off with more than 1,000 classes, as their teaching ability will be relatively better.
Engoo’s teaching method
- Classes are by appointment only and last 25 minutes .
- The platform features a dedicated online class system and also offers a free Bellbird whiteboard conferencing system.
- Class recordings are provided for playback and review.
※ The free whiteboard conferencing system Bellbird is open and can also be used on other online English platforms. For usage instructions, please refer to the Bellbird features on the official website .
Engoo’s advantages and disadvantages
advantage
- Classes can be booked 15 minutes in advance, making the schedule very flexible for working professionals.
- Multiple options are available for teachers to choose from.
- Online teaching materials are diverse and open to use, and their content is widely loved.
- There are no course advisors; you use the platform on your own. However, online customer service responds very promptly when you encounter any problems.
- The Bellbird whiteboard meeting system and recording function make it easy to review lessons after class.
- It provides children’s courses and teaching materials, which can be used by both adults and children.
shortcoming
- You can only book the next class with the same teacher after you finish the previous class. It’s not very convenient to book all the classes with the same teacher at once. If you want to book a popular teacher, it becomes a “class-grabbing” situation because you have to book other people’s classes as well. And working people can only book those popular time slots.
- Although you can book a class 15 minutes in advance, you’ll usually only be able to choose from less popular or mid-range teachers, and the quality of the class is largely a matter of luck.
- After careful calculation, the prices are actually not cheaper.
- Without a course consultant to arrange the learning progress, and without a level test, you need to spend an extra class choosing a teacher with a speaking test label to take a level test.
Engoo reviews
Engoo was probably the first choice for many children or working professionals to learn English a few years ago. However, with the increasing number of online English tutors, there are now other better alternative platforms.
Engoo advertises itself as the cheapest online tutoring service, but when you really calculate it, it’s actually not that cheap XD
However, Engoo’s teaching materials are really excellent, with diverse and rich topics, and the fact that they are completely open to use is fantastic! The Bellbird whiteboard meeting system for classes is also well done.
This is just my personal experience. Friends who haven’t used Engoo before can try it out first. There’s a free lesson for registration. After all, the experience of actually using it is the most accurate!
