Mentoring with Sheila

Encouragement and guidance for a living education in your homeschool, no matter where you are in the journey.

Sometimes a mother needs an experienced person to listen carefully, understand her children and circumstances, and help her see the way forward.

Charlotte Mason Homeschool Mentoring offers personal guidance shaped by more than forty years of homeschooling, teaching, writing, and helping families. Together, we will consider your children as individuals—their strengths, interests, needs, and relationships—and address the questions that are making your homeschool difficult or uncertain.

You may be just beginning with Charlotte Mason, planning a new season, trying to establish a peaceful daily rhythm, or wondering how to help a particular child. Our conversation will begin with your family as it actually is.

Mentoring may include help with:

• understanding and applying Charlotte Mason’s principles;
• choosing living books and suitable materials;
• planning a workable homeschool rhythm;
• narration, language arts, nature study, and other methods;
• accommodating different ages, abilities, and circumstances;
• simplifying an overcrowded curriculum;
• identifying what matters now—and what may be set aside.

Your mentoring session includes:

• a short pre-session questionnaire;
• my thoughtful preparation before we meet;
• a private one-hour conversation by Zoom or telephone;
• a concise written summary of the priorities and practical steps we identify;
• one brief follow-up email exchange within two weeks of our conversation.

After purchasing your session, you will receive the questionnaire and instructions for arranging our meeting.

You will leave encouraged, clearer about your children’s needs, and more confident about the education taking shape in your home.

Sessions are private and confidential. A limited number are available each month.
