Homeschooling your child is like being in school yourself! I learned this when teaching my own 2 children. I have lots of experience to offer from choosing the right school materials to getting help for teaching the classes you don't know enough about. I taught my son auto mechanics and small engine repair and knew absolutely nothing about either one. But he learned and passed the tests! I felt like I had passed the tests also!!
I also offer help in the applications listed below as well as graphic design and advertising design help. I have photography experience and I also homeschooled 2 of my children and I have experience in that area as well.
