Before you begin
Your questions,
answered.
Ages, online learning, prices and your next step.
Ask about lessons ↗What ages does Maple Phonics teach?
Phonics courses cover ages 2–6, 7–10 and 10–16. Adult English courses run from A1 beginner to C2 proficiency, with Business English also available. Explore the learning levels or ask Jason about the right starting point.
Can a complete beginner take lessons?
Yes. Adult A1 introduces essential vocabulary, pronunciation, simple grammar and everyday expressions. For children, the starting point depends on the sounds and reading skills they already know, rather than age alone.
What will my child learn in phonics?
Phonics lessons connect letters and sounds, then build blending, reading, spelling and pronunciation. The patterns and activities depend on the learner’s age and current knowledge.
Are lessons online, and what is the lesson format?
Maple Phonics offers online English lessons covering speaking, vocabulary and grammar, alongside phonics practice and videos. Confirm the video platform, session length and individual or group availability by email before booking.
How long will it take to see progress?
There is no fixed timeline for every learner. Progress depends on the starting point, learning goals, attendance and practice between lessons. A useful way to review progress is to revisit the same sounds, words, reading passage or speaking task and compare what the learner can do. Discuss suitable goals with Jason; no fixed outcome or deadline is promised.
How often should I practise between lessons?
Short, regular practice is a useful starting point. Children can revisit familiar sounds and words, while older learners can practise a short conversation, reading task or piece of writing. Agree on a routine that fits the learner.
How much do lessons cost?
Online English lessons start at US$16.50 per hour. Email jason@maplephonics.com to request current prices, availability and any package options. Confirm the price, currency, session length and payment terms before booking.
How do I arrange a lesson?
Use the lesson-enquiry page or email Jason with the learner’s age group, current level, goals, time zone and preferred times. Jason can discuss availability and pricing. An enquiry is a request; the lesson is booked only when the details have been agreed.
Do you offer adult and Business English?
Yes. Adult courses cover A1 through C2. Business English focuses on practical workplace communication, including emails, meetings, presentations and professional conversations. See the adult learning levels.
How can parents support phonics learning at home?
Revisit sounds and spelling patterns covered in lessons, practise blending a few familiar words and read suitable books together. Keep practice encouraging and share any difficulties with the teacher. Try the short home-practice routine.
