  • Home Schooling explained

    This is an amazing overview of the key elements to consider when home schooling. I am a private tutor for those studying GCSE subjects who are home schooled. I purchased this to help me understand the potential issues experienced by those who choose this method of education. I support home schooling 100% though appreciate it isn't for everyone and this book helps you identify if it is right for you.
