Norfolk Home Learning
From small beginnings to great success
Home Education aka Homeschooling
Home education starts at birth, so if you're a mum you've tried it and you know it works. Some mums never give school a look-in. Others try school but then encounter anxiety, bullying, unmet needs, or bad behaviour due to boredom.
Home-based private schooling solves problems but most families choose it for positive reasons, such as children's wellbeing and success in exams, which home ed can spread over several years.
Another home ed plus is the way it helps kids socially. Families meet to share books, ideas and activities so social skills come naturally. This can't happen at busy schools. To quote a mum, 'They just grade kids like eggs.' I know how she felt! Decades ago, I quit as a teacher when clumsy labelling wounded Steven, my classroom clown.
It set me free to write my books, give my lectures and run this Norfolk Home Learning website, with methods, laws, Q & A and tutoring pages. For personal help and advice just click contact.
Many ask about classes and book groups for homeschooled kids. Norwich has several, including some for older pupils preparing to take their GCSEs privately. (Opting in for a few hours a week beats school captivity any day!)
Home educated kids aren't stuck at home, they're just not stuck at school! They're free to seize opportunities - like these two, seen starring in a film!
If only I'd given my own three children a home education!
I did home educate my grandchildren, now at uni or beyond. Since then, I've helped dozens of Norfolk families with home ed or school. Send me a message and I'll reply promptly.
