Homeschool · Teacher habits for parents

What teachers do that parents can borrow

Most teenagers don't love being taught by their parents, and lessons can slide into arguments. A few classroom habits help a lot: asking better questions, giving feedback that doesn't feel like criticism, and slowly handing your teen more responsibility.

Questions

Good to know

Have you homeschooled?
No, and I won't pretend otherwise. I'm a teacher who works with teenagers online every week. I bring the teaching skills and the AI know-how, and you bring everything you know about your own child.
Is this only for parents of teens?
It's designed for parents of 11 to 18 year olds, because that's the age I teach. Some of it works for younger children too.
Can our co-op book a private workshop?
Yes. I run private sessions for co-ops and parent groups. Tell me roughly how many parents you have and I'll suggest a format.
