Home Education 101

You Can Homeschool with Confidence!

What skills and concepts should your child know?
How do you educate your child at home if you aren't a trained teacher?
How do you know what he knows?
What about socialization?
What sort of records do you keep? And what will this all cost?
How do you pick curriculum? Or plan a lesson? Or keep the house from falling down around you while you homeschool?
Perhaps you're afraid you don't even know what you don't know, so you just aren't sure if you can do this........
But.... what if a seasoned homeschooler coach and professional educational coach could mentor you as you begin this journey?

Vicki will help you Homeschool with Confidence!

Yes, YOU CAN DO THIS!

Sharon D.

Mom of 2 homeschool grads

If it hadn’t been for Vicki, I may never have homeschooled at all. My husband met her at a very small (early 90’s) homeschool convention... Fortunately for me, Vicki lived near me and was the driving force for our homeschooling community. Her godly wisdom and leadership, along with her kindness, compassion, support, laughter, and friendship encouraged a generation of homeschooling families. She has a BIG heart and years of experience. ~ Sharon D., mom of two homeschool grads
