Eliminate gaps and supplement your children's education

Help your children thrive

Parents are accountable for their children’s education and not the teachers! Thirty minutes a day is all you need to supplement your children’s education, assuming lesson plans were well thought out ahead of time.

Reinforce material learned at school

Involving children in activities that spark their interest is a great way to supplement and expand on topics that are challenging.

Capitalize on your children's strenghts and build up their weak areas

Adapt teaching methods to best fit each child's needs

My book will help homeschoolers succeed in their new endeavor. I share tried and true strategies to help children who are in a brick-and-mortar school or already homeschooled. Regardless, of how and where children are being educated, parents should supplement their children’s education. If full-time homeschooling is not an option, part-time homeschooling could be the solution to help a child thrive.

Parents’ participation on children’s education guarantees academic success.  We are judged by our children’s successes and accomplishments and they are a measure of our worthiness and achievements. 

After working with public school students in Florida, I realized that my children would have a superior education in a homeschool environment. A better system, however, was needed to ensure my sons received the best education.  My plan eliminated the major flaws I encountered in the school system and homeschooling was the only way to implement my ideas.  My book “From Homeschool to Harvard Without Paying a Cent  is a step-by-step playbook for those parents who want to take control of their children’s future.

Worldwide Pandemic

The worldwide pandemic was quite shocking to everyone and especially parents who had to not only worry about their family’s health, but also were responsible to “teach” their own children. If the upheaval has you concerned and you are considering homeschooling, this website and my book can help answer your questions and provide solutions. The truth is that these parents did not experience homeschooling. The schools were guiding them about what to teach; they chose the curriculum and defined the schedule. 

Homeschooling parents have full control over the curriculum and academic decisions, create their own schedule, cater to each student’s learning style, skip repetitive material the student has already mastered, develop their own lesson plans, have flexibility of when, what, and where to teach, can choose which yearly standardized test to take, and have their children learn at their own pace.

Politicians always argue about whose job it is to educate children and how to improve the school system. I believe parents should be responsible for their children’s education, even if it’s only done on a part-time basis.

 

Supplementing children's education

Supplementing children’s education is a great way to indulge inquiries and interests that go beyond the school’s curriculum.

  • Compensate for the school system’s limitations by supplementing academically, emphasizing individual learning. Learning can happen outdoors, at a park or museum, using a hands-on methodology.
  • Parents should volunteer at their children’s school so they become familiar with the teacher’s routine and are better equipped to supplement their education at home. A big plus of volunteering is teachers often solicit parents’ opinion and share information concerning their children, in an informal way. Observing firsthand how children interact with peers and teachers helps parents work on non-academic skills that play a major role in academic success.
  • The school system has deprived teachers of the material necessary to teach children with different learning styles. By supplementing children’s education, parents can cater to visual learners by including diagrams, pictures, documentaries, or any visual cue that would help them absorb and retain information. Kinesthetic learners should have hands-on experiences; and auditory learners should work on presentations.   
  • Diagnostic tests can be used to identify areas that need reinforcement. In addition, mistakes made on homework and tests can be used to develop a lesson plan. If children need remedial support in a specific subject and parents feel unqualified to help, hire a tutor.
  • Children are inquisitive by nature, so supplementing does not have to be done in a formal way. Although identifying their weaknesses and developing lesson plans is vital, parents can promote learning just by answering questions and expanding on topics of interest. Children are constantly questioning everything and curious about the world, so feed that curiosity to enhance learning. 

If you are supplementing multiple students, methods used to supplement each child’s education should be individualized.  After determining how to close the gap on their education, the second step is to introduce new topics into their schedule. If everything is planned ahead of time, a 30-minute lesson is adequate.
