HomeScholar Consulting

My son Kevin is a chess genius. When he was in high school, he was ranked second in state even though he never had a chess coach like the other kids. Instead of a coach, my husband purchased a high-powered chess program for his Palm Pilot, and he would play Kevin while using the chess program. We used to tease my husband that he was "strapping on his auxiliary brain" when he played with the chess computer in his hand.

Sometimes moms will feel sick with worry about creating transcripts or course descriptions. If you want to do it yourself, but you are feeling a bit overwhelmed, you can use The HomeScholar as your "auxiliary brain!" We can talk over the phone, and discuss class titles, credit value, course descriptions, grading criteria, and anything else that is wearing you down. I'll give you the brain-power boost, and you can make your own transcript with the information you glean from our discussion. Remember that I don't judge your homeschool, or evaluate your children, I'm just here to help if you need me!

How it works:

I only schedule one consulting session per day, so when you make an appointment, I will reserve the whole day just for you. Most appointments range from one to three hours; but rest assured, you can have my help for as long as you need in order to feel comfortable and confident in your homeschooling plans. A down-payment for one hour is all you need to reserve your appointment. Then you can e-mail me all of the questions that have been bothering you. Think about how great it will feel to get all of your homeschooling high school questions answered in one sitting!

Price: $50 per hour

Email the The HomeScholar to set up an appointment.

P.S. If you are looking for more intensive consulting around two very focused areas, check out my Crash Courses on "Preparing to Homeschool High School" and "Preparing for College."

"Today is the (college application) deadline. Thanks so much for walking me through this - I could not have done it without your guidance and your transcript example."

~ Michelle in Washington

"Thank you for your help. You were my spring board to getting this started and I mailed off the last of the information that Clemson needed this morning. We have done what we can and now the rest is in God's hands. I will be better prepared when my 8th grader starts the college process. Thank you again for your guidance."

~ Susan in Washington

"Just wanted to say thank you for all the help. From all the information on your DVD's to all your help in our consulting session. I'm sure I would have spent much more time and money if I tried to find this out on my own. I am really excited and looking forward to home schooling Corey! He seems pretty excited, too.
Thanks again and God Bless,"

~ Don & Andrea in Des Moines

"Thank you so much for meeting with me today. You were so organized, efficient, enthusiastic and encouraging. I loved how you were able to empathize and connect with me, but were able to keep us on track and pass such helpful information on to me. You have a great balance between empathy and equipping. My head is spinning with great information and I feel excited to take on homeschooling my high schooler. I am so glad that I came across your booth at the WHO conference and I can't wait to recommend you to anyone else who is planning to homeschool a high schooler! This was one of the best investments I have made for homeschooling. Thanks again and may God bless your business/ministry."

"THANK YOU so much for your help today. Matthew and I learned so much and are excited about his options. You've opened up his horizons, there are many! Now he just needs to choose his path. Thanks for the curriculum advice; I am looking into those as well. Your help was just what I needed. Many blessings in your consulting business. You are certainly a blessing to home schooling moms like me. You have been an answer to prayer for me concerning Matthew. It was so nice to talk to someone who could relate to some of the issues that I'm facing and may face. Your experience and wisdom has given me courage to move forward boldly in Matthew's education. Many, many thanks. Sincerely,

~ Linda in Redmond

"Thank you for all your help and for being willing to stay a little longer, I hadn't noticed the time either. I thought Starbucks was a good place to meet and it wasn't crowded at all. I do feel somewhat overwhelmed right now with all the new information, but it's all good stuff. I just need to take a deep breath, say a prayer and take it one day at a time. Thanks again for taking all the time with us. We really needed the extra help to get us going in the right direction. When the time comes, I know I'll be meeting with you again to create transcripts and look for scholarships. You truly are providing an invaluable service for all of us who are out there on our own. Take care,

~ Gloria in Puyallup

"Meeting with you was very helpful in clearing up the confusion I had about my high school years. I know now that my high school years aren't just all day impossible school work, but manageable work that will prepare me for college.
"PS. Thanks for that spelling suggestion, my mom figured out I was doing college level spelling. Now I'm off the hook!

~ Samantha (daughter of Gloria in Puyallup)

"I don't know if I ever thanked you. I wanted to make sure you knew how valuable our meeting was to me. I am excited, inspired, and confident. I will definitely be contacting you again! And thanks for the fabulous newsletter each month. God's richest blessings to you,

~ Denise in Renton (consultation and scholarship search)

"Your presentation was excellent, and as I said, exceeded my expectations for content. Thanks again for coming east to talk with us. Your professionalism is apparent; it will set you apart from the other successful moms of graduates who are making a second (or third!) career for themselves in the homeschool consulting industry.

~ Linda in Sammamish (High School Crash Course)

"I was very pleased with the information that I received from you this morning. Having a mindset of keeping the children's work and recording NOW will prove to be helpful for future transcript preparation. Again, it was my pleasure in making a connection with you. What you did was professional and useful to me. Sincerely,

~ MJ in Sammamish (High School Crash Course)

"I can't tell you thank you enough for all the encouragement, advice, and directness, that you have given me. I learned more from you in our hour than if I had read a book on the subject (which would have taken me a month or more) and then trying to figure everything out myself (another month). I am so encouraged now and know that we can do this!! My daughter is also very encouraged. At the library yesterday I noticed that she checked out some books on the SAT and other testing books. That's a huge encouragement for me and our family. I'll keep you updated on how we are doing and I won't hesitate to call if I need your help."

~ Kristi in New Mexico (emergency consultation)

"Thank you so much for the emergency consultation. It really did ease my mind and made me sit down and look at where [my son] is at.
