Consulting

Once I began blogging and recommending resources to help parents supplement their children's education, such as ABC Mouse.com, friends and family began approaching me for advice and insight on teaching their own children.

In general, I have dealt with these populations:

• parents who don't know how to help their children with their homework
• parents who want to add to their child's curriculum by teaching them their native language or religious values at home
• parents who feel lost and overwhelmed during the summer when the daily learning routine has been disrupted
• parents who have toddlers and preschoolers at home who wish to prepare them for entering school. 
• parents who are considering homeschooling their children through the elementary school years.

As an Educational Consultant, I have had countless conversations over the phone with moms like the ones mentioned above. Those conversations cannot be reproduced, but occasionally the conversation happens online. I have included a few of those interactions below which occurred on Facebook.

This first example is from a Chinese mommy-friend of mine from college whose twin daughters attended PreK this past year. As you can see from her request, she was invited to the school to give a presentation on Chinese New Year and specifically asked for me by name. The lesson plan I gave her was from off the top of my head.

In addition to my personal Facebook page, I have a Fan page for my blog. In it, I provide encouragement for homeschool moms among other things.

The following example shows how I fulfill a great need moms have for a professional to come alongside them and help them teach their children. I am also in the process of putting together an online course to answer the many questions I receive on a regular basis.
