Ready to Create a homeschool you love?
Let's start todayKeen to create a homeschooling lifestyle that energises and fulfils you?
Don’t have an education degree? Don’t worry. You don’t need one to teach your own children.
You just need love, commitment, and perseverance. And you have that, right?
We don’t have to wait until it’s on the curriculum (if it ever is). We can come up with truly individualised programs. We can cater to learning differences and special needs without waiting for funding or staff. Bullying is rarely an issue when parents are there to guide children.
But it’s not all about the academic side – homeschooling is the only way you can provide a holistic education. It provides the time and shared activities that bring your family closer. Parents and children having close, respectful relationships and siblings being best friends are completely normal in homeschooling families. And trust me, socialisation is really NOT an issue.
Homeschooling is amazing, and I’d love to help you find your amazingness. Start with my free resources below.

Deschooling Your Family
Deschooling can be defined as removing the influence of the formal education system from your way of thinking. Many children who have been in school will need time to adjust to their new lifestyle, and learn this new way of education. On a wider scale, nearly everyone in society has what could be termed a ‘school mindset’. As most of us went through school, and its training is pervasive, deschooling yourself is an important part of the process. Find deschooling help here.
