"It is so much easier for my son to navigate his day and he's actually having more fun learning. He's in charge of his learning process and has a fantastic mentor and support. Maria helped him grow; offering a sense of ease and confidence that is not offered in public schooling and creating a beautiful resume with him. My son has told his friends this experience; he feels good about the person he is and about his future."

"It is so much easier for my son to navigate his day and he's actually having more fun learning. He's in charge of his learning process and has a fantastic mentor and support. Maria helped him grow; creating a beautiful resume with him and offering a sense of ease and confidence that is not offered in public schooling.

— Shannon

"As business owning homeschool parents, Maria gives me back time and peace of mind. Takes the worry and stress away entirely of having to think about what I'm teaching that day and if I have enough planned and prepared. I have the peace of mind that it's prepped and ready and thought out. Hitting all the subjects and information they need."

— Kiana, Homeschooling Mother of 3 · THRIVE Client for 2 Years

"Maria is thoughtful with every curriculum decision she makes for your child, based on parent feedback and what the future looks like for the child. As an example, our daughter was homeschooled for almost 3 years and her desire was to start public high school in 9th grade. Maria got her up to speed with 8th grade public school requirements and curriculum so she would be prepared. Both of my children received a well-rounded, organized, and intentional education for their specific needs. Maria took the immense pressure off of our shoulders!"

— Kristin · THRIVE Client for 2 Years

"Working with Maria helped my daughter have faith in me as her teacher, she knew I had a person to go to if I had questions. Maria took the stress away from having to plan how I was going to keep track of everything. Homeschooling is scary but honestly the scariest part is just taking that first step. If it wasn't for Maria, I probably would have never chosen to do this."

— Amber, Homeschool Mother

"I've kept Maria for two years and have found her helpful along every step of the homeschool journey. She has been an invaluable resource and is very knowledgeable in the different options for homeschooling. We have made many adjustments over the past couple of years, and she is always willing to make suggestions and redirect if something is not working. I do not like the direction the public school is heading in at all. I trust Maria's guidance and feel like if there is something we are unsure of, The Homeschool Admin is my go-to for connections and information we need. Also, I appreciate the skill you have for drafting the transcripts for the girls. Also, getting different ideas on subjects when the kids are not interested in what we are doing. We've kept Maria for two years and have found her helpful along every step of the homeschool journey. We would highly recommend working with The Homeschool Admin if you are considering homeschool for your kids. My kids had an instant connection with Maria. They have enjoyed working with her and know they can get in touch with her right away if they have any questions. She has also helped them with things outside of their courses like writing resumes, personal development, job connections and the college application process. They consider her a friend as well as a consultant."

— Melissa

"The Homeschool Admin helped me focus on my child, encouraging me to truly understand her strengths and get to know her better. My daughter loved working with Maria, who helped her identify her learning styles and recognize that she is in control of her learning. Maria pours all her knowledge into your family and is flexible to work with you as much or as little as needed. She is easy to talk to and supports parents through the ups and downs of homeschooling."

— Starr, Mother of Teen Homeschooler

"Maria helps me focus on making this happen, carving out those two hours daily and not worrying about the actual schedule: the what, the when, and the how. Working full time at a newer job is challenging but I'm grateful that I work from home and CAN do this. The Homeschool Admin helps give me the ability to juggle both, ease the stress of the logistics and accomplish the daily tasks, to just check the box off. Yes, it is an investment, but I'm in control and I don't have to worry about unteaching my son... just teaching him to be the best little boy he can be as God made him."

— Christina
