But...
You may feel helpless at the thought of homeschooling. Uncertain if you are equipped. Wondering how to navigate the conflicting (and sometimes outdated) law information online. Add to that confusion, how YOUR local district interprets the law. Overwhelmed at the complexity?

Hello, I'm Kari Kowalski. My husband and I have
four children. All have now graduated!
Yes, we homeschooled them all.
My degree is in education, and I have a Pennsylvania teaching certificate. I've taught in the public and private schools at the elementary and secondary school levels. When my oldest two graduated (after teaching them K-12), I put my foot back in the classroom as a substitute teacher.
While my teaching certification and grading experience (in grades K-12) qualify me to evaluate your student in the state of Pennsylvania, let me assure you that these do NOT better qualify me to educate my children any more than you. Honestly!
I love encouraging people with the HSLDA publication that cited stats that standardized test scores in homeschooled children whose parents do NOT have a degree in education actually performed BETTER than those that did.
I believe it is parents' LOVE that will drive them to acquire WHATEVER is necessary for children to thrive.
YOUR love will help them excel!

"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."
