Hi, I am glad you are here! I am Lisa McAfee, the person behind the name Schoolmarm Ohio.  What is a schoolmarm? How did I come up with the name?

I knew from the time I was a junior in high school that I wanted to be a teacher. Teaching is a vital part of who I am, what I enjoy doing since graduating from Miami University. I love homeschooling and have a deep devotion in helping homeschool families. Deciding a name for my homeschool educational services business was easy since schoolmarm is an old-fashioned term for teacher.

I am an alumni home educator of two sons and an Ohio licensed teacher. I have over thirty years of teaching experience in private schools, home education programs, cooperatives, and private tutoring. I have been assessing homeschool students’ work since 2000 and have enjoyed seeing and reviewing the progress students make from year to year.

I am meeting with everyone on line via Zoom, or if you live in the greater Cincinnati area you may meet with me in person. In addition to assessments, I also am available for consulting, coaching, and helping you to get started with homeschooling. I would be more than happy to help you. You can schedule to meet with me by clicking HERE. I have graduated fees for homeschool reviews if you have multiple children, and they are listed on the page. All other services are $45 for a 30 minute meeting. Payment is either via personal check or Zelle.

If you can’t find quite what you’re looking for, or have further questions, leave a comment on either a pertinent post or on this page itself.

Thank you for stopping by and reading. My hope is that as you read my blog you will find my posts useful and encouraging for educating your children. You can click on the subscribe tab on the right-hand side of the blog if you’d like to follow along! I would love to help you on your homeschooling journey.
