On Home Schooling
My wish is to be able to support any family with their wish to home school their children. For most of us, homeschooling is more than a choice of education, it is a way of life. Whether you are unschooling or homeschooling your children, if you have any need for support don’t hesitate to contact me.

Homeschooling Workshops
On a weekly basis during regular QLD school terms, I provide workshops for home school children and teenagers.
The aim of each workshop is to develop clarity and kindness so that students become more active, informed, caring and wise human beings.
Elligibility: 10 years old minimum + basic knowledge of writing and reading
Fees: AU$75 per workshop per student (contact me for family discount)
Workshops are created around 3 main bases: the curriculum (what do we learn), the pedagogy (how do we learn it) and assessments (how can we make sure we are learning it well).
