Are you overwhelmed by the thought of homeschooling overseas?

Do you feel unprepared to begin homeschooling in those early years? 

Or perhaps you’ve been homeschooling for a while and feel pretty comfortable with it, but your student is about to start high school, and you feel nervous all over again?

I’d love to help!

I’ve been homeschooling my four children for 17 years, including eight years in a developing country with regular power and water cuts and without access to a public library. 

I’ve launched two children to university, enrolled two children in dual credit community college classes during their high school years, and I’m still supervising my 15- and 17-year-olds at home. 

After nearly two decades, this homeschooling venture feels pretty natural to our family, but I remember how intimidated I felt both in the early years and when my oldest started high school.

You can fill out the intake form, and I’ll get in contact with you soon!

Topics we can cover include:

• homeschooling overseas
• homeschooling in the early years
• high school and that dreaded transcript
• building your homeschool around your strengths while shoring up your weak spots

• developing hands-on math and science classes for coops
• developing art and theater classes for coops
• piloting a faith and science curriculum
• serving on the leadership team of two different coops
• speaking at the 2018 Family Education Conference in Chiang Mai, Thailand

Testimonials

From Julie, a mom homeschooling 2 of her 4 kids in Asia:

Meeting with Elizabeth and going through all my many questions was simply a relief. We had been planning to homeschool for a while, but the added layer of being outside the U.S. had extra challenges that I felt assured Elizabeth would be able to address. She asked all the right questions to make me feel more confident making hard choices in this —  and it was just a pleasure to chat with her and learn from her many years of experience with homeschooling. I can and (will!) highly recommend her services. 

From Rachel, homeschooling mom of 5 in the States:

Elizabeth is a godsend! When my husband and I began discussing the possibility of homeschooling a few months ago, it was a conversation I never thought we would find ourselves in. We have five children, ages 10 to 2, and I could not wrap my head around what it would take to educate them all at home and keep the house itself running, too. I had no idea where to start. I did not know the various schools of thought and approaches to homeschooling. I had no idea what I was getting myself into.

Elizabeth kindly and gently guided me along the path of figuring out what we wanted our homeschool to feel like. Over the course of working with Elizabeth, I began to get excited about all of the possibilities and freedoms that homeschooling could bring our family. I found myself forming an idea not only of what our days would look like, but what the culmination of our future years of homeschooling could lead to. I feel so much more prepared to tackle this great endeavor as we dive into our first year of school at home!

From Lauren, homeschooling mom of 2 in the States:

Before my homeschool consult with Elizabeth, I was dreading planning for the next year of homeschool. As a new homeschool mom of a 4th and 2nd grader, all of the possibilities seemed so overwhelming! After our call, I not only had a better idea of what our school year would look like, but I was also excited about planning and preparing for it!

From Sylvia, homeschooling mom of 4 and former global worker:

It was such a gift to chat with Elizabeth about all things homeschooling. As a first-year homeschooler, I was feeling uncertain about some of the decisions I had made. Talking with Elizabeth gave me confidence in my choices and also sparked some new ideas that have already been so helpful! With a 3rd grader, a 1st grader, and two littles at home, it meant so much to speak with someone who has been through this season—and would still choose to do it all over again.

From Helen, homeschooling mom of 2 in Asia:

I am so thankful I got to talk to Elizabeth a few weeks before we started a new school year. We are in a transition year as I switch my older son from unit studies to subjects and my toddler starting preschool. Although I had done my research and planned out our homeschool year, I questioned myself and how it will all work out. 

Elizabeth reassured me of my plans and shared her experience of teaching multiple children at different levels, along with other invaluable advice. I left our call feeling confident and excited to start.

From Kailey, homeschooling mom of 4 in the States:

Meeting with Elizabeth to discuss my homeschooling questions was such a joy! She had specifically prayed over what she would say; that was extremely evident in the encouragement she offered from her perspective further down the road in her family’s homeschool journey.

My little learners are quite young, and I was not homeschooled myself, so I sometimes feel like I am walking around in the dark. Elizabeth served as a tour guide of sorts; she is very familiar with the road I am walking.

I felt affirmed to make the choices that were right for my own family, but also like I could troubleshoot anything with her and she would be happy to share from her personal experience. Affirmation, guidance and wisdom are all of such value, and I was gifted all three in my time with Elizabeth. I could not think of a better way for me to get into the right headspace for this new school year!

From Audra, homeschooling mom of 2 in the States:

Elizabeth was so helpful when I was trying to find a new math curriculum. She was knowledgeable of the many different options, listened to our family’s style of learning, and talked with my son to better learn what would be the best fit. She worked with us to do a placement test to determine the best level at which to start and provided helpful guidance through the whole process. I would absolutely recommend consulting with Elizabeth if you are struggling to determine the best curriculum for your family.
