1. Does my child need to know Greek already?

No. The Greek Explorer Program is designed to support children starting from the beginning and help them build their Greek skills step by step. Level 1 is a great place to start for complete beginners.

2. What if my child already knows some Greek?

That's absolutely fine. Your child does not need to start from zero. The program is organized into levels, so you can choose a starting point that better matches your child's existing Greek knowledge. If you're unsure where to begin, contact us and we'll be happy to help you choose.

3. What age is best for this program?

The Greek Explorer Program is designed for children ages 5 and up. Level 1 is a great starting point for younger children and beginners, while older children can progress through the levels based on their existing Greek knowledge and learning needs.

4. Is this live tutoring or self-paced learning?

The Greek Explorer Program is primarily self-paced. Your child works through the lessons and activities at their own pace, around your family's schedule. It is not a weekly live class or a traditional tutoring program.

Your plan also includes two 30-minute progress check-ins with Maria each month via Zoom, providing an opportunity to review your child's progress, celebrate achievements, and receive personalized guidance.

5. How does the monthly progress check-in work?

Your plan includes two 30-minute progress check-ins with Maria each month via Zoom. These sessions are an opportunity to review your child's progress, talk about their learning, celebrate what they've accomplished, and identify areas that may need extra attention.

For the 1-child plan, each check-in is a one-on-one session with your child. For family plans, siblings can join the sessions together, allowing Maria to review each child's progress and provide guidance tailored to their individual needs.

6. Do I need to speak Greek to support my child?

No. You do not need to speak Greek or become your child's Greek teacher. The lessons are already organized and designed to guide your child through the learning process. You can be as involved as you want — whether that's simply encouraging your child, checking in on what they're learning, or joining them from time to time.

7. How is the program structured?

The Greek Explorer Program is organized into three levels, with each level divided into chapters that build on the skills learned before.

Level 1 focuses on the foundations of Greek. Level 2 focuses on building simple Greek, while Level 3 moves toward everyday Greek communication.

Review chapters are included throughout the program to help children practice and reinforce what they have learned.

The program also includes stories, culture, mythology, Orthodox faith and traditions, games, challenges, and other activities that enrich the learning experience.

8. How much time should my child spend learning Greek?

There is no required amount of time each day. Short, consistent practice can help children keep moving forward, and your family can decide what works best based on your child's age, level, and routine.

9. Does my child need to follow a schedule?

No. There is no fixed class schedule. Your child can work through the program at their own pace and fit learning around your family's routine.

At the same time, your child is not learning completely on their own. As they progress through the program, they will regularly submit their completed work to Maria for review and feedback. Depending on your child's age, they may do this themselves or with a parent's help.

The goal is to give your child the flexibility of self-paced learning while still having a teacher who follows their progress, provides guidance, and helps keep them moving forward. Parents are encouraged to be involved and celebrate their child's progress, but you don't have to be your child's Greek teacher.

10. Can my child use GEP on different devices?

Yes. GEP can be accessed on a computer, laptop, tablet, or iPad. For the best learning experience, we recommend using a larger screen rather than a phone.

A stylus or pen can also be helpful for interactive activities on a tablet or iPad.

11. Do I need to print everything?

No. Printing is optional. Many activities can be completed digitally, while some printable materials can be used when you or your child prefer a hands-on experience.

12. How long do we have access to the program?

Your access continues for as long as your subscription is active, so your child can learn at your family's pace without pressure.

13. How often is new material added?

Greek Explorer is a growing learning program. New lessons and activities are added progressively as the program expands.

Your child can follow the existing levels and chapters at their own pace while the program continues to grow.

14. What happens during the 7-day free trial?

Your child gets access to the Greek Explorer Program for 7 days so you can explore the learning experience and see how it fits your family.

If you decide to continue, your selected subscription will begin after the trial. You can cancel before the trial ends to avoid being charged.

15. Can I cancel my subscription?

Yes. You can cancel your subscription at any time. Your access will remain available according to the terms of your current subscription period.

16. What happens if I want to register more than one child?

You can choose a family plan that includes access for multiple children. Each child can have their own account and progress through the program at their own pace.

If you need to add another child after signing up, contact us and we'll help you get them set up.

17. Can I share my login?

GEP access is intended for the child or children included in your subscription. Please do not share your login with people outside your family.

18. What if I accidentally purchase the wrong product?

Please contact us as soon as possible if you believe you purchased the wrong product. We'll review the situation and help you determine the appropriate next step.

19. Do you accept returns or exchanges?

Because Greek Explorer is a digital program with immediate access, purchases are generally non-refundable. We encourage you to use the 7-day free trial to explore the program before continuing with a subscription.

20. How can I contact you if I need help?
