What states are you qualified to assess students’ work? I am a licensed teacher in the state of Ohio, so I can provide assessments for students in Ohio, but also in West Virginia and Virginia.

Is it required to homeschool in Ohio? No, but I recommend you do it regardless. It is always better to have a recorded assessment and a person who is a licensed teacher be able to say that you homeschool your child.

Are you meeting in person or online this year? I am meeting people virtually via Zoom. You can sign up for a free account by going to zoom.us If you want to see me in person, we can do that, just be aware that I have online appointments that may be before or after you. 🙂

How do I schedule an appointment? You can sign up using an online scheduling website. It will sync to your calendar and send you a reminder of your appointment. https://calendly.com/schoolmarmohio

What should I send to you for the portfolio? Please send me a minimum of your student’s work from the beginning and the end of your student’s school year in each subject your child has studied this year. This can include workbook pages, a written story, videos, pictures, or anything that you feel would show what your student has done this year to show progress has been made. For subjects that you do not have physical documentation, write a brief descriptive paragraph of what you did. Example: Science- We watched a video on volcanoes, discussed how eruptions occur and damage that is created, and read various books about geology and volcanoes.

How do I send work to you? There are three ways to do this:

Option 1: Once I receive notification that you have scheduled an appointment, I will send you link to a family folder through Google Drive. You can upload samples of work any time prior to our appointment. Note: A gmail account is the best way to upload your documents.

Option 2: Use Dropbox or send me a file via email.

Option 3: You can drop off work to my house or mail me copies of work that you don’t need returned. If you are choosing to do this, then please send me an email. schoolmarmohio@me.com

What is the cost? You can either by personal check (no money orders) or the Zelle app. My fees are as follows:

Fees for the 2024-2025 School Year
1 student $45.00
2 students $85.00
3 students $115.00
4 students $140.00
5+ students $160.00

I look forward to serving you,
