Hello, I'm Kari Kowalski. My husband and I have
four children. All have now graduated!
Yes, we homeschooled them all. (K-12)
My degree is in education, and I am certified to teach in the state of Pennsylvania. I've taught in the public and private schools at the elementary and secondary levels. When my oldest two graduated, I put my foot back in the classroom. However, my heart was no longer in a classroom setting. My passion grew into fostering true learning through private tutoring and the desire to come along side families and guide them through the critically foundational time in a young person's life. While the ever-changing world around us may feel uncertain and difficult, I see challenging times as amazing opportunities with a bright path ahead.
To further help and meet the needs of my families, I became a graduate student in Counseling at Liberty University. I desire to use this additional degree to help families grow through trials, recognize their value, and give them the emotional and cognitive tools to become the best they can be. Check out the videos on my website, or book a one-on-one consultation where I can walk with you through the door to your child's success.
I believe every family needs hope. Allow me to guide you to the next chapter and help your family move from surviving to thriving!

"As a new homeschool parent, I had a mixture of excitement and fear of the unknown. The thought of choosing an evaluator was terrifying to me. Would they understand my teen's unique interests? Would I be judged as a parent? Would I be prepared with the correct documents and work samples? It would keep me awake at night. After extensive research, I found Kari and Homeschool Guidance. As soon as I read through her very informative website, I felt completely at ease making our very much anticipated evaluation appointment. Prior to the evaluation, Kari took the time to connect with me by phone and answer my questions and provide detailed information on what to include and expect at our meeting. By the time I got off the phone I was actually excited about our appointment. After having the opportunity to meet with Kari in person, I was overwhelmed by the amount of passion she has for helping homeschool parents and students through their journey. She took such a sincere interest in everything my son was excited to tell her about. It is clearly more than a job, but something she is called to do. She diligently studies the laws and keeps her clients updated and really makes me feel like I have the resources I need to give my child the best education possible. It is amazing how much knowledge and accurate information can alleviate worries and fear. Kari has given me that peace of mind. By generously sharing her knowledge and gifts, she has made it a pleasure to go through this new adventure."
