Hey! It’s been a while since I have posted anything on my blog, but I wanted to let you know that I am still here 🙂 , and I am available to:
provide assessments
educational consulting
educational coaching
tutoring (reading and writing, general academic topics for grades K-6)
What are my qualifications? I’m glad you asked! I have:
a BS of Education
taught for over 35 years
trained and tutored in Orton Gillingham methods
tutored both privately and for Rooted in Language
What have I been doing? I have been busy with a variety of things this year. I have met with moms to discuss curricula, helped with transcripts, and also have been tutoring. It has been a slower pace than before the regulations changed to not require families to have assessments, but perhaps I needed that. While I do enjoy having the summer being less hectic, I very much miss seeing families and progress the children made the previous year. It has been my joy and privilege to be a part of so many people’s home school journey and be an encourager and support.
So, whether you are a regular subscriber or just came across my page and would like to meet whether in person or online, please contact me. schoolmarmohio@me.com I’d be very happy to help. I look forward to hearing from you.
You may be wondering if that is a picture of me… No, it isn’t. 🙂

As of the 2023-2024 school year, homeschool families are no longer required by law to submit any type of assessment to the superintendent to continue to homeschooling. Having been an assessor for 25+ years, I will continue to offer this service if you would like to have me review your student’s work. Since this is now optional, I am in the unique position to offer other additional services which I have not had the time for in the past. I am very excited to be able to help additionally with your home schooling. Do you need advice with scheduling; choosing curricula; need some guidance with high school? I’m here for you. I am not limited to just Ohio but can help any homeschool family.
Here is a brief description of some of the services I am offering via Zoom, email, or in person if you live locally. You can sign up for a single 30 minute time slot or back-to-back appointments if you need more time for any of my educational services. The fee is $45.00 (for 30 minute time slot) and can be paid electronically or via personal check prior to or at the time of service. To schedule, go to: www.calendly.com/schoolmarmohio Please tell me what service you would like in the notes you would like when you sign up.
Homeschool Assessments- I will continue to offer homeschool assessments in which I will review academic samples of your student’s work. The prices are discounted if you have more than one student and are listed on the scheduling app.
Getting Started- So, you are going to homeschool. Congratulations! Now, where do you begin? I’ll be happy to help. We will discuss the age of your student, paperwork you need to submit, and any general homeschool questions you have.
Scheduling- How do I set up a school day with my student? I’ll be glad to help you determine what would work best for your own homeschool and family dynamics.
Choosing Curricula- There are so many options from which to choose that it can be overwhelming. I’m here to help you narrow the field and lead you towards what would help your student(s) thrive.
Coaching- We will discuss questions you have and look for ways to make your school year successful. I’ll be there to help along the way. You can sign up for as many times as you wish. It can be one time, once a semester, weekly, or something else.
Consulting- Do you just want to make sure you are on the right track and not missing anything? Do you have a child who is struggling? Other questions you’d like help with in your schooling? We can discuss whatever concerns you have.
Homeschooling High School- It’s not as difficult as it may seem! I have graduated both of my sons and have helped many families with course choices, issuing credits. creating transcripts, etc.
Hybrid- You may want to meet with me to discuss a variety of topics (scheduling, curricula, how to homeschool multiple children, etc.) Just indicate in hte notes when you schedule what you’d like to discuss.
Feel free to email me (www.schoolmarmohio@me.com) if you have questions.
