Christian Homeschool Tutors Who Partner With Your Family

Find a Christian homeschool tutor who respects your values, works with your chosen curriculum, and gets to know your child—not just their assignments.

You chose homeschooling for a reason. Maybe it was the freedom to teach from a biblical worldview, the flexibility to meet your child's needs, or the chance to make learning part of everyday family life. Needing help with math, reading, or an entire homeschool schedule doesn't mean giving up any of that.

Family Focused Tutors (FFT) provides personalized, online instruction from Christian educators who work alongside parents—not in place of them.

You Can Love Homeschooling and Still Need Another Teacher

Maybe you're teaching three children at different levels and algebra keeps getting pushed to the end of the day. Maybe your child understands a concept when you explain it, then freezes when working alone. Or maybe you want your student to learn from another Christian adult who will encourage both academic effort and character.

A homeschool tutor can take ownership of a subject, provide consistent one-on-one instruction, and give you more room to focus on the parts of homeschooling you most enjoy.

Keep your curriculum

You choose what your child studies. FFT's homeschool service includes teaching, lesson planning, and grading based on the curriculum your family selects.

Choose your level of support

Get help with one or two subjects, or arrange broader instruction in core academic subjects.

Work with Christian educators

FFT's tutors sign its statement of faith and complete interviews and background screening.

What Makes a Christian Homeschool Tutor the Right Fit?

Finding a homeschool tutor isn't just about a degree or an hourly rate. You're inviting someone into your child's educational life. The fit matters.

Shared values, expressed in everyday teaching

FFT's mission is to help students excel academically through a Christ-centered relationship. Sessions begin with a brief prayer, and tutors can naturally reinforce perseverance, honesty, and care for others as students learn. See how FFT sessions work.

A tutor who knows your child

FFT considers students' academic needs, personalities, and learning styles when matching families with tutors. Parents can discuss concerns if a different match is needed.

Real instructional support

Homeschool instruction goes beyond answering questions on a worksheet. FFT's published service includes planning lessons, teaching, and grading within your family's chosen program.

Communication with parents

Tutors record session notes and next steps in TutorBird, giving families visibility into what was taught and what needs more practice.

Meet the People Teaching Your Child

FFT is a Christian tutoring organization founded by Hannah Thomas. Its name reflects a central idea: educating a child works best when tutors partner with the whole family. Read FFT's story and mission.

Its Meet the Tutors directory includes educators with experience in homeschool settings, Christian schools, and other teaching environments. For example, Mari Trommler's published profile describes homeschooling her own children, navigating multiple curricula, and teaching elementary subjects alongside middle-school language arts and social studies.

Questions worth asking when choosing your tutor:

Have you taught this specific grade level and subject?
Have you worked with our homeschool curriculum?
How do you help when my child gets stuck or discouraged?
What will you communicate to me after sessions?
How will we know when the student is ready to move forward?

Tutor availability and specific subject expertise vary. Discuss your child's needs during the free consultation.

Christian Homeschool Tutoring Pricing

Choose the amount of support that fits your family's routine. FFT lists both part-time and full-time homeschool instruction at $40 per hour, with different weekly commitments.

Option	Best for	Hours	Price
Part-Time Homeschooling	Families who want a tutor to teach 1–2 subjects while parents teach the rest	2–6 hours/week; 2-hour minimum	$40/hr From $80/week
Full-Time Homeschooling	Families seeking broader instruction in language arts, math, science, and history	8–10 hours/week; 8-hour minimum	$40/hr From $320/week

Weekly examples are calculated from the listed minimum hours, before any other applicable charges; they are not monthly quotes. Confirm current terms and tutor availability with FFT.

Both options include personalized instruction, parent-selected curriculum, lesson planning, teaching, and grading. For program details and the full curriculum resource, see FFT's existing homeschool tutoring services page.

Discuss Your Family's Schedule

Need a Tutor for One Subject? Start There.

You don't have to hand over your whole homeschool day. Many parents start with the subject that's creating the most stress.

Math

From foundational arithmetic and fractions to algebra, an appropriately matched tutor can explain difficult concepts and provide consistent practice. Explore Christian math tutors online.

Reading

Get support with phonics, fluency, decoding, and comprehension. Explore Christian reading tutors online.

English and Writing

For grammar, writing assignments, essays, vocabulary, and language arts, explore our Christian English tutors online page to learn about subject-specific support.

Science and History

FFT lists science and history among the subjects available through its full-time homeschool program. Ask which educators are qualified for your child's specific level and curriculum.

Foundational Skill Gaps

If your child is significantly behind in math or language arts, remediation tutoring may be a better fit than ordinary homeschool instruction. FFT's remediation service uses assessments and targeted lessons.

Subject availability depends on the tutor match. Confirm that each linked subject page is published at its listed URL.

Keep the Curriculum You Chose for a Reason

One of the most important distinctions between FFT's homeschool tutoring and a fully packaged online school is parent choice. You select the curriculum; the tutor provides instruction within the agreed program.

FFT says its educators have experience with materials such as Abeka, BJU Press, Saxon Math, Singapore Math, Time4Learning, and Sonlight. That doesn't mean every tutor teaches every curriculum. During your consultation, share the publisher, grade level, books, and any teacher guides or online accounts your child uses.

A simple curriculum handoff checklist

Identify the subject and level. Note where your student is currently working, not just their nominal grade.
Share the actual materials. Provide textbook editions, lesson plans, online access details where appropriate, and teacher resources.
Explain your family rhythm. Tell the tutor how many days you school, whether you prefer mastery or a paced schedule, and how homework should be handled.
Agree on responsibilities. Decide who assigns independent work, records grades, and reviews progress.
Check in after a few sessions. Adjust the pace or teaching approach based on what the student demonstrates.

Still choosing a program? FFT also offers a homeschool consultation to help parents think through curriculum and learning needs. For general planning, the Home School Legal Defense Association's teaching resources provide additional homeschool guidance; families should separately verify their own state's legal requirements.
