The Homeschool 1-on-1 Series
As we head towards the end of July, it's hard to believe it, but the start of the new school year is just a month and a half away! We have heard from homeschooling families who have questions as they prepare for their first year or another exciting year of homeschooling.
We have a great resource for all of you -- our on-demand videos of our previous Homeschool 1-on-1 sessions from this spring, and our Experts Panel Series from last summer. In these videos, we ask questions of our panelists, questions that you, our audience have supplied!
To make it easy for you to browse through the topics of our on-demand videos over the last 15 months, we've summarized each video and linked them here. We hope you find this resource helpful!
Happy Homeschooling, everyone! :)
Homeschool 1-on-1 Series: April 2021 through Present
These are sessions where Homeschool Concierge staff, Windi Eklund and Paige McKinney, talk 1-on-1 with a homeschool or educational expert.
1. We began our series in April with Josh Berg, the CEO of Beautiful Feet Books.

3. Our third session was with Elmarie Hyman, the owner and founder of Learn Beyond the Book, a group of Southern California community centers that offers academic and creative classes for kids in TK-12th grade.

She also reviews other resources she believes are important for those interested in homeschooling, education, the origins debate, and related political and spiritual topics. It was an honor to have such a candid and intimate conversation with her. Watch our on-demand video with Cathy Duffy HERE.
8. Our eighth Homeschool 1-on-1 session was with Rachel Tidd, the creator of Wild Learning, which is the home of Wild Math and the new Wild Reading -- just release in June of 2021!
