Getting started with homeschooling can be an overwhelming prospect, especially when it begins unexpectedly.

Whether you are new to homeschooling or you need to refocus your homeschooling for the high school years, I want to be your guide!

Who Can Benefit from Homeschool Consulting?

There are a few reasons you might want a consulting session regardless of how long you’ve been homeschooling.

• Preparing to or Teaching High School– Taking on high school at home can seem daunting, but it doesn’t have to be difficult.
• New to Homeschooling– Advice for families just starting out from how to know the law to how to get started no matter your level of experience.
• Beginning Homeschooling When a Child Has Been in School– Starting to homeschool after a student has spent time in conventional classrooms presents a unique challenge. We started homeschooling when our oldest was half way through first grade.
• Veteran Homeschoolers Looking to Make a Change– We are an eclectic homeschooling family with a focus on using applied skills in a variety of authentic activities specific to our students. I also develop a lot of courses for our kids based on their interests and style of learning. I can help you do this with your homeschool in mind.
• Specific Question with the Desire for a Detailed Answer– Responding to email and blog comments can be time consuming and leave you with more questions. Blog posts to address your question may be weeks out in the queue and take time to create. A consulting session can offer families the opportunity to get one on one advice from a seasoned educator and homeschooler.
• New York Homeschooler– Who may need advice on reporting on the curriculum you’ve chosen within the state guidelines
• College Application Process– Meet to discuss how to get started, what teens need, and how to navigate the process.

Educational Consulting for Curriculum Writers

If you are a curriculum provider, I can provide consulting services both as a homeschool mom and a professional educator. I hold a BS in Biological Sciences and a MS in Curriculum & Instruction Secondary Education.

I taught biology and general science in public school for five years where I secured grants for educational experiences, developed curriculum, and provided staff development for faculty.

As a homeschool mom, I have written much of our curriculum and have been homeschooling for 13 years.

Professionally, my expertise lies in science education. If you need feedback on curriculum development in any subject area, my new focus is on the homeschooling family. I can help you with writing & adapting curriculum for the homeschool market.

Why does a curriculum writer need a consultation?

• Receive tips on adapting curriculum materials to family sized classes.
• Consult with a science educator on content for your program.
• Hear advice on working with the homeschool market.
• Understand how to work with gifted learners in a home environment
• Use project based ideas in your curriculum.

Email me at [email protected] for information on curriculum consulting fees.

What Others Are Saying about Consulting Sessions

I have had the privilege of speaking to many homeschool moms from around the world. It’s always a pleasure to get to know another homeschool and speak words of encouragement to moms, along with some tailored advice based on my experience and expertise.

If you have any questions about a consultation, please email me at [email protected] and I’d be happy to explore how I can help you.
