If you aren’t sure if you should add the assessment, here is a video that explains what the report will show and what the data means. Some of our homeschool families use this instead of doing standardized assessments with the public schools.

Why choose to hire a tutor?

Homeschooling provides flexibility but can also feel overwhelming when it comes to choosing a Christian homeschool curriculum or structuring the school day. Family Focused Tutors partners with parents by offering homeschool planning help, curriculum guidance, and Christian homeschool tutoring services. If you need online homeschool support, our tutors help families build a strong foundation for academic success.

We are so thankful that we get to partner with families and help them with their homeschool journey!

Homeschool Consultations Available

We are always hearing of homeschool parents who don’t know where to start with choosing a homeschooling route and curriculum so we have decided to offer a consultation that will help you identify your goals for homeschooling, pick a curriculum, and dive into the questions you have about homeschooling. It can be hard to know exactly where your child is at when you pull them from a public or private school so we also have the option to provide you with a comprehensive assessment to identify any gaps in their understanding and to know what grade level to purchase for each subject.

Schedule a 60-minute meeting with a member of our leadership team to work through how to get started with your homeschooling journey!

Choosing the Right Curriculum

Hello teachers and parents! This resource should help you to narrow down which curriculum and materials are best for your students and family. Before you get started, here are some questions you may want to consider:

1. Do you want a Christian or a secular curriculum?

2. Do you prefer fully online or some physical workbooks?

3. Do you want to follow a school schedule with deadlines or do you want to work at your own pace?

4. Is the grade level you chose available with your preferred curriculum?

5.Can your child complete work independently or do they need support in completing all the assignments?

At the top, you’ll find Christian curriculums both online and with physical books. Then, some secular curriculums with online and physical options as well. At the end, you’ll find curriculums with a focus on one specific subject. These prices were pulled in January of 2024, but they might change, so we suggest looking at the curriculum website directly for final prices. This is just to give you an idea of some free and affordable curriculum options.

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out as you are making the decision. We would be happy to help!
