BS Degree Education
Qualifications & Experience: 13 years Public School Teacher, 10 Years Homeschooling mom. I've been helping other homeschool parents for the last 14 years with their homeschool evaluations and know how frustrating and expensive it can be. Doing evaluations through email/regular mail eliminates the stress and the need to set up appointments/meeting place, etc.
What to Expect at Your Evaluation: Online evaluations are the quickest and easiest way to satisfy Florida Law regarding annual portfolio evaluations. Through email and phone, I review samples of your child's work and then have a short, easy, phone conversation with you and your child. I then mail you the completed evaluation form for you to send to your homeschool office. Email or call me for any questions.

Cost: $30 for one child, $25 for each additional child in the same family.
