Hey Homeschooler 👋!
When I first started homeschooling I tried so many curriculums and learning resources but I just couldn’t find anything that was perfect. Sometimes a program would work for a few weeks, and then my child rejected it. Sometimes it suited one child well enough, and not another. And sometimes it just didn’t work at all like the pictures on Instagram!
I couldn’t understand why it was so difficult to find a program that ticked all the boxes.

I spent a lot of time planning incredible curriculum programs, excursions, and events but I would still get to the end of the year feeling like we had too many gaps and topics missed.
I got stressed. I was worried I wasn’t doing enough, I started to question whether I could actually give my kids a good enough education. I worried for their futures. Â
So I decided I would try something radically different. Instead of planning my homeschool based on educational outcomes I invested more time and energy reflecting deeply upon each of my children, considering my own needs, and thinking about how my family as a whole was working. I got to really know what was and what wasn’t working in my homeschool. And when I got clear on this, all of a sudden it became easier to find ways around the shortcomings.
I went back to school myself and I achieved an Associate Degree in Educational Studies. I learned about classic and contemporary academic theories. I pondered child and behavioural development. I wrapped my head around different learning styles, zones of development, and how to differentiate learning programs to meet various educational outcomes. I learned how entire education systems were developed and implemented. And in the midst of all of this, I balanced all my learning against the lived experience of homeschooling and I realised: I could do so much more for my kids.
I learned how to choose the best curriculum for my children. I learned how to adjust what we had so it suited my individual children’s learning styles and preferences. I learned how to embrace their strengths, overcome their challenges, and empower them on their path of learning.
Now, I feel confident we are all on the right track. We have a high-quality homeschool that truly sets up each of my kids for success in their adult lives.

And it’s not all about the kids. I learned how to value myself and how to make space for my own growth and development through these years. Â
Now we have a homeschool that is built on relationship, connection, and building memories that will last us a lifetime.

I am so grateful to be fully connected with my children, responsive to their needs, and confident in my ability to create a homeschool environment that enriches their learning each and every day. I know how to respond to challenges, how to make things work for each child, and how to prioritise learning in a way that works for my kids. I love being able to draw from the richest homeschooling philosophies in a way that meets the needs of my family.

FABULOUS ANSWERED QUESTIONS
Is this right for brand new homeschoolers?
Yes! Even if you haven’t started homeschooling yet, I will help you develop a reflective process to better understand your child and build your homeschool from that.
Is this right for experienced homeschoolers?
Yes again! If you’ve been homeschooling a few days, months, or even years you are in the right place. You will reflect on what has or hasn’t worked in your homeschool as you get to know your child’s learning needs and preferences better. And you’ll put it all together into your curriculum and homeschool plan.
Does it matter where I live?
No. You can join no matter where you are from. Provided you speak English, because I only speak English! All resources are online and useful no matter the legal system that oversees your homeschool.
There are strict laws where I homeschool, is this still useful for me?
Absolutely. It doesn’t matter where you live or what the law looks like – your children are still your children, and your relationships are still important. So I will help you unpack your child’s needs so you can strengthen your relationships, and you can implement that exactly how the law lets you in your country.
