Home School Coaching
Have you thought about home schooling?
Did you know that here in Australia approximately over 31,437 people are registered for homeschooling? And since 2019 homeschooling registrations have risen to over 31%. Also did you know that homeschooling kids score above average on test results than kids attending formation education? But why do parents choose to home-school their children? There are many reasons, some are due to lifestyle choices, disabilities and limited options, sometimes it can be for special educational needs, religion, bullying or philosophical reasons or sometimes they feel that the education and support provided at school is lacking.
Being a teacher for over 25 years many times I have experienced parents wanting to home school their kids but lacked the confidence and were not sure about how to go about it, if home education is something that you would like to consider that is something I can help you with.
Coaching you with home schooling
Homeschooling is a full-time job and you do need lots of support to get you started in preparing the structure and layout of the learning style for your child. Making a solid foundation is vital to the success of teaching your child at home. Developing healthy learning habits and mapping out learning goals is also key to your success and something that I help you with.
