I called Jenn, desperate for help, preparing my student for her upcoming high school years homeschooling. She has great insight on the requirements for high school and also great suggestions on curriculum based on the students needs. Her follow up with an email included the notes from our meeting and the additional information she promised. Very pleased with her knowledge and professionalism and will be utilizing her services throughout high school! Now I’m beyond excited for the upcoming years knowing Jenn is there to help us!

Jennifer was very encouraging and helpful in consulting with me on my daughter’s struggle with reading. She gave me lots of helpful information and insight.
Alissa S.
Mother of 4 children: 6, 4, 2 & new born -
Jenn is fantastic at helping you organize YOUR homeschool, not just implementing HERS in your home. When my family had some personal struggles that zapped my brain of it’s ability to function Jenn opened her co-op to my kids, shared her lesson plan layout and resource list…she took all the brain work out of the year for me. We execute plans in different ways but that is what is so beautiful about working with her……she is passionate about the TRUE essence of homeschooling which is the parents educating their children in a way that fits them. She is a walking, talking example of the best homeschool how-to book you’ll ever read!!
