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 portfolio review 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.

Typically, I meet with you in person, but due to Covid-19 concerns I am meeting with everyone on line via Zoom or phone. My hope is that as you read my blog you will find my posts useful and encouraging for educating your children.

If you are looking for something specific – please direct your attention to the “Categories” section to the right-hand column, or feel free to use the “Search” function.
