New to homeschooling? I've put together THIS article which explains how to get started and answers many FAQs. I've also created a video about the application process HERE

• For those wanting help with exemptions, my guide pack is a great place to start! It's available to purchase online HERE, for instant download. If you need help deciding what resources to use, my manual on planning your programme will be of benefit. See HERE.
• For those who would like an exemption application review, please download the pdf document with everything you need to know HERE. When you send me your completed application, I will book your review as soon as possible. 
• For those who would like me to write an application, the information to get started is HERE. When you return the completed documents to me, I will queue up your application. My policy is to book this service in the order in which I have received required information and payment.
• For those who would like a phone consult, I have a several slots available each week which fill fast. Please use the form below to contact me and I will advise available times. Please include your phone number. (See HERE for info)
• If you have been asked for more information about an application by the Ministry, you have up to 4 weeks from the date of their request to respond before your application lapses. After you contact me I will ask you to send me your original application and all additional correspondence with the Ministry so far; once I review them I can explain the next steps. Meanwhile you may benefit from purchasing and reading my guide if you have not previously, to help you better understand application requirements. For more info on this service see HERE. 

Please note: I will ALWAYS respond to emails - usually within 2-3 working days (unless my office is closed). If you don't hear from me, please check your spam, then message me again, noting that you have previously done so, and including your phone number, in case my replies are not getting through.
