Hello there!

I’m Liz.

You probably found me because you’re tired of the dumbed-down public school system, and you share my belief that every child deserves a stellar education. If so, welcome!

It’s always good to know more about the person you turn to for guidance, so let me share a little of my background with you.

The Beginning

When my kids were young, I noticed that something had changed in the way we were raising and educating our kids.

I was taught to read in first grade, but children in the 1990’s were learning to read at age four.

Something didn’t sit right with me.

Digging into the research, I discovered that something was amiss. Parents had adopted new beliefs about raising kids that were harmful to children neurologically, physically, emotionally, and intellectually.

I decided to do things differently. I went back to traditional methods of education and compared them to research on child development. Then, I came up with a plan. Putting the plan into action, I homeschooled my two children who grew into bright, kind, and resourceful adults, as well as graduates of top 20 colleges.

Today the Smart Homeschooler Academy is a well-reputed homeschooling program based on the way I homeschooled my children. The Academy is trusted by hundreds of parents, who are teaching thousands of children from real books and real life lessons.

I’m honored to have been endorsed by the late John Taylor Gatto, award-winning educator and author of Dumbing Us Down, for my deep understanding of both education and schooling.

And now, with my in-field experience, I get to guide parents like yourself along the same path that proved to be so rewarding for my family.
