Parent Support
Home education is a beautiful journey that parents and children take together.
It doesn’t take degrees and nobody needs to be a teacher; after all, a new language is one of the hardest things to learn, yet parents have taught their children how to talk since the dawn of time…
However, it can also be helpful sometimes to have some extra support, especially in areas a parent or their child finds difficult.
I love supporting parents; helping them to work with their children and feel confident as learning facilitators is one of the most rewarding aspects of my work.
I post regular blog posts filled with information about home education, literature and teaching techniques and I also offer consultancy, in which I offer remote support to families who would like more specific advice tailored to them.
This includes:
An initial Zoom meeting of 30 minutes where we discuss any concerns or need you might have.
A follow-up email with suggestions and guidance.
Please contact me to book.
