Homeschooling Advice

5


5 per unit - Virtual OK - Posted Nov 21, 2018

I will discuss advantages and disadvantages of homeschooling, curriculum choices, how to homeschool on the road (roadschooling), unschooling options, and more. I will also offer suggestions on how to navigate the criticism that homeschooling parents often face, with grace and kindness, while still committing to your homeschooling goals.

While homeschooling sometimes is made into a controversial topic, it really isn't. Homeschooling is simply one of the many options available to provide education to children. There are many different homeschooling styles, from "school-at-home" setups to complete unschooling. The place where you live will make a difference in how (and sometimes if) you are allowed to homeschool. When I give you this advice, I will gladly research your region to provide the most accurate information.

Training & Qualifications


I am a former teacher who left the school board in favour of teaching my own children. I have been homeschooling my three children, born in 2010, 2012, and 2014, from the beginning (with the exception of 2 kindergarten months for my oldest).

My oldest child has very advanced language and reading skills for her age, while my middle child is on the autism spectrum, has ADHD, and Developmental Coordination Disorder. I work with each of my children at their level, and have learned o adapt to their needs, focusing on helping them develop a passion for learning, and pursuing their own interests.

I support all forms of education, and I especially support parents' rights in choosing education avenues for their children.

I have a Bachelor of Education in Physical and Health Education and English (Senior Division), as well as an Additional Qualification, primary (this degree and certification allow me to teach grades 4-12 in Ontario). I have also been teaching in one way or another since 1999.

Availability & Preferences


My availability is flexible, but it may take me a day or two to reply to your message.

Trading Preference: I’m flexible, just hit me up!

About Mariana Abeid-McDougall

𝐁𝐞𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚 𝐝𝐞𝐚𝐥/𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐦𝐞 𝐚 𝐦𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐚𝐠𝐞, 𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞 𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐞: * I do not under any circumstances promote MLM products; please do not request my services for this. * I am on Simbi to barter. Please do... not contact me with the intent of funneling me to your paid products. ___ 𝗔𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗠𝗲 I'm an experienced freelance writer and editor who loves to meet people, barter, and help others. I'm also an avid traveller, a happily married wife since 2006, and a homeschooling mother of three children born in 2010, 2012, and 2014. I have an extensive background in various fields, as I have been working since 1997 in various jobs, often simultaneously. I have been a lifeguard, an adult swimming lessons instructor, a retail sales clerk, a call centre operator, a teacher, a Registered Kinesiologist, a personal trainer, a writer, an editor, and the list goes on. I also served 7 years in the Canadian Naval Reserves as a military clerk. Aside from my professional experience, my travel experience is also extensive. I've lived in 3 different countries, and our family has had the chance to do some wonderful travelling. Before we had children, my husband and I toured for 2 months around Canada and the US, sightseeing during the day and swing dancing at night (swing dancing is how we met). We cycled 557 kilometers with our kiddos when they were 6, 4, and 2. And we spent 9 months between 2018 and 2019 travelling in an RV all over the US and Canada. I'm interested in a variety of things, and my services on here reflect that. If you've ever heard the term "renaissance soul," "multipotentialite," or "scanner," that's me. I hope that you'll find a service that'll be useful to you among my offerings, and I look forward to trading with you.show more
