For years the stigma around home schooling has inhibited collaborative working relationships between educators and home school parents. I seek to change that.

I believe that home school parents working with an educator can be a dream team. We bring the pedagogical experience, and parents bring the most valuable aspect when crafting a plan for an individual child: a complete picture.

As a classroom teacher, you are very limited in your scope of the whole child. Limited interactions with parents and daily interactions within a single year can provide a snapshot of a child, but not the whole picture. 

There are many reasons that parents choose to homeschool their child. Having spent nearly 20 years in the public education sector I completely understand these reasons. I’ve seen first hand how the system has evolved over the years and it is not necessarily for the better. I can work with you as you navigate the home school journey whether you are brand new to homeschooling or a seasoned veteran. 

Here are the services I can bring to the table:

1. Provide tutoring services for your child. Are there certain concepts that your child is  struggling to grasp? My knowledge of the K-12 standards can help ensure that I align our work to ensure your child is accessing content that is appropriate for their grade level/age. 

2. Provide an objective third party consultation toward student progress and achievement. For many parents who are homeschooling their child, it is a first time experience that ends when your child concludes formal schooling. That process can be overwhelming and it is natural to wonder if your child is meeting age appropriate academic milestones. I have taught and worked with students of all ages kindergarten through 12th grade. Through my experience and my knowledge on research based practices, I can provide assessments that will help both student and parent identify what level they are at academically and help target areas for potential growth.
