Lee Binz Speaker Bio
Lee Binz and her husband Matt operate The HomeScholar (www.TheHomeScholar.com). Their mission is "helping parents homeschool high school." Lee and Matt homeschooled their two children independently for eight years, from elementary through high school graduation. Both boys earned full-tuition scholarships to their first choice university. Lee is now a homeschool consultant working with parents across the country and overseas. Lee has three core beliefs about homeschooling: homeschooling provides the best possible learning environment; every child deserves a college-prep education whether or not they choose to go to college; and parents are capable of providing a superior education to their children. Lee does not judge your homeschool or evaluate your children. Instead, she comes alongside to help and encourage parents homeschooling high school.
Your presentation was great!! Even though we've gotten one son into college, I gained quite a bit of new information from your presentation that I will be able to use for our younger kids. Your sample transcript and explanation of it were very helpful (especially since it was for a chess player!). The comparison of the tests was a lot of new information for me, and your comparison chart is very handy. The HomeScholar Planning Guide is great because it has just about everything (classes, tests, etc.) on one easy-to-use page! Real live samples, like the sample Course Description and Grades and Credits Resource sheet, really clarify things and give homeschoolers a starting point in creating their own, which is very helpful! The "Record Keeping" section of your presentation was very good too! I'm a Cubbie, and have a pretty good handle on record keeping, but I liked your helpful hints. This topic and the way you presented it would be extremely useful for parents new to homeschooling high school. I enjoyed your engaging manner of speaking, and was impressed by your knowledge and insights. Basically, everything was excellent, and the freebies and raffles added that extra special touch! Thank you so much for coming to Vancouver to share with us! God bless you!
