Hi, my name is Alecia, and I have spent years teaching children and helping parents to educate their own children. I enjoy walking alongside of parents, while encouraging and providing advice and ideas on how to reach their children’s hearts while training their minds. More importantly, I help parents educate their children with vision and purpose.
So often get so caught up in the details of educating and parenting that we forget why we’re actually doing it in the first place. Or maybe we haven’t taken the time to ask ourselves why.
I help parents think about what they really want to accomplish by educating their children. I help parents think about the end goal, then we work backwards to determine the steps that it will take to get there. We need to know where we’re going or we end up somewhere we didn’t want to be!
If you want something different for your children, you have to do something different. We can’t do what everyone else is doing and expect a different result. Nor can we do what we’ve always done, yet expect a different result. Isn’t that what Einstein called insanity?
But doing something different is scary!!!!
That’s where having someone to support you can be so vital. It can be the difference maker!
Here are questions and concerns that I can help with:
Is my child making progress?
Is my child advanced or behind other children her age?
What math curriculum should I choose?
My child can’t seem to focus. What do I do?
My child still struggles to read. How can I help her?
I don’t understand how to teach ratios. Do you have any tips?
I need feedback from someone else on my child’s writing.
My child is completely lost in math and I don’t understand it either.
How do I put together a lesson plan?
How much work should I expect of my child?
Why is my child’s handwriting so sloppy?
I don’t have the discipline to homeschool.
My children don’t respect me as the teacher. What do I do?
Overwhelmed By All the Options?
Do you feel like your head is spinning from all of the curriculum choices and educational methodologies? Are you feeling burned out?
I’d love to help simplify your life, saving you time and money. I’ll do the research and make the recommendations, while you spend time enjoying your family and doing the things you enjoy most. I believe that I can minimize or even eliminate the frustration of using a program that doesn’t fit your needs.
New to Homeschooling?
Parents new to the homeschooling world often find themselves overwhelmed by all of the approaches to educating. As I coach, I help parents make sense of all of the educational jargon and tailor it to fit their families unique goals, needs, values and lifestyles. Gaining clarity and vision simplifies the process of educating and provides a wonderful environment for learning to take place– for you and your children. I help parents think through not only the “what” and “how” of homeschooling but the “why”.
Let’s face it. Educating our children is hard work, but it’s a labor of love. And I am completely convinced that you will benefit from this labor just as much as your children if you will fully engage in this process of learning and growing. You don’t have to do it alone. I’m here to help.
