Who homeschooling consultations are for
Every family’s journey looks a little different.
Our homeschool consultations are designed to support parents at any stage, whether you’re exploring how to start homeschooling, preparing to transition, or already teaching at home and wanting clarity.
They’re perfect for parents who:
- Are curious about homeschooling but unsure what it involves or whether it’s the right choice
- Are transitioning out of traditional school because something isn’t working academically, socially, or emotionally
- Have already started homeschooling but feel overwhelmed, stuck, or constantly second-guessing themselves
- Need homeschool guidance on curriculum, resources, or requirements and want a clear, personalised plan
- Are nervous about moderator visits and want to feel confident and prepared
If you’re looking for clarity, calm, and confidence, you’ll find it here.
Common worries parents share
Most parents don’t start homeschooling because it’s easy.
They start because something isn’t working or because they want something better for their child, and they’re met with a thousand questions, mixed advice, and a whole lot of pressure.
These are the worries we hear most often:
“I have no idea where to start.”
“How do I make sure I’m meeting the Australian Curriculum requirements?”
“What if I’m not ‘qualified’ enough to teach my child?”
“How do I choose the right curriculum or resources?”
“What if my child falls behind?”
“I’m scared I’ll be judged by moderators or other parents.”
“What does a typical homeschool day actually look like?”
“I have the moderator visit… HELP!”
These feelings are normal and they’re exactly what we help with. You don’t need to navigate homeschooling alone.
How homeschooling consultations work
Homeschooling becomes much easier when someone shows you what to do and how to do it. These consultations give you the structure, support, and step-by-step direction you need to start homeschooling with calm and confidence.
Here’s how the process works:
1. Tell us what you need
Fill out a short questionnaire so we understand your child, your concerns, and where you feel stuck. This lets us tailor your homeschool consultation to the things that matter most.
2. Meet for your personalised session
Join a 60-minute or 90-minute call via Google Meet or phone. You’ll get clear, practical homeschooling support on registration requirements, curriculum options, daily structure, and moderator expectations.
3. Leave with a clear plan
After the session, you’ll receive a summary or transcript plus simple, actionable next steps.
If you’re in the VIP package, you’ll also receive ongoing homeschool guidance between sessions so you never feel stuck or alone.
The support you need to homeschool confidently
By the end of your session, you’ll have:
Clear understanding of registration and requirements
Know exactly what your state expects, what documents you need, and how to meet your homeschooling obligations with confidence.
A personalised, step-by-step plan
A simple, ordered pathway that spells out what to do first, second, and third — no overwhelm, no guesswork.
Curriculum and resource recommendations
Tailored suggestions for programs, worksheets, platforms, and learning tools that actually suit your child’s needs and learning style.
A realistic daily or weekly structure
Practical routines that make your homeschool days calmer, more organised, and easier to manage.
Confidence you can do this
Reassurance, direction, and the feeling of “Okay… this finally makes sense.”
Parents leave their consultation feeling lighter, clearer, and confident in their next steps.
