Consulting

In addition to the support we offer to members of The Hub, we also offer consulting sessions or packages to anyone—whether an individual family or a group of families—who is curious about independent learning or is getting started down this road and would like to talk with someone who can help them cut through the clutter. 

We can help individual parents understand what it takes to homeschool, and how to get started. We can help you come up with strategies to support homeschooling while also taking care of career or other responsibilities, in a sustainable and mutually satisfying way (it does require flexibility and/or creativity, but it can be done, even with younger children). We can answer questions that arise as you adjust to the new paradigm. And we can point you to individually tailored global and local resources that will set you up for success on your own terms.

We can also help groups of families who are looking to form a learning group of their own. Having started and managed multiple mixed-ages learning groups (including with outside facilitators and rented spaces) over many years, we can get involved as needed to facilitate key parent meetings and help you think through key details, develop solid plans (and contingency plans), and anticipate and navigate the inevitable challenges.

We can also connect you to other consultants in our extensive national network who can address more specialized questions, such as how to choose among curriculum packages; how to homeschool teenagers and prepare for college or other next steps; how to maintain good inter-personal dynamics while homeschooling; and more.
