🌿 Frequently Asked Questions

Your guide to understanding homeschooling in India — and how I can support your journey.

1. What is homeschooling?

Homeschooling is when parents take charge of their child’s education instead of enrolling them in a traditional school. It allows families to choose what, how, and when their children learn — at home or anywhere that feels right.

2. Is homeschooling legal in India?

Yes. Homeschooling is neither banned nor restricted in India. Many families choose it as an alternative form of education. I guide you through how to do it confidently and responsibly within India’s educational framework.

3. Who can homeschool their child?

Any parent or guardian willing to take an active role in their child’s learning can homeschool. You don’t need a teaching degree — just patience, curiosity, and the right guidance to get started.

4. Do we have to follow a particular board or syllabus?

Not necessarily. Families can choose from various options like NIOS, Cambridge (IGCSE), or even a customized learning plan. I help you explore what works best for your child’s goals and your family’s rhythm.

5. How do homeschooled students appear for exams?

Students can appear as private candidates through recognized boards like NIOS, IGCSE, or by rejoining mainstream schools later. I provide guidance on exam planning and portfolio preparation when needed.

6. How do I know if homeschooling is right for my child?

We’ll assess your child’s interests, learning style, and current situation during a consultation. I help you weigh the pros and challenges before making the switch, so you can decide with clarity.

7. What support do you provide to homeschooling families?

I offer step-by-step coaching and mentorship — from planning your homeschool structure to tracking progress and keeping your child motivated. You’ll also get personalized plans, tools, and resource lists.

8. Do you teach children directly?

No. My role is to empower parents — I guide, plan, and mentor you so that you can confidently manage your child’s homeschooling journey.

9. How are sessions conducted?

We offer both online (via Google Meet) and offline sessions based on your needs. All learning resources, notes, and follow-ups are shared digitally for easy access.

10. Can both working parents homeschool?

Absolutely. Many working parents successfully homeschool by using flexible schedules and shared responsibilities. I help you create a realistic plan that fits your family routine.

11. Do homeschooled children face socialization issues?

Not necessarily. In fact, many homeschoolers socialize more naturally through clubs, co-ops, sports, and community activities. I can suggest ways to build these opportunities into your plan.

12. How do homeschooled children transition to college or mainstream schooling later?

Most boards and colleges recognize homeschoolers as long as academic records and portfolios are maintained. I help families document learning effectively to ensure a smooth transition.

13. How is progress tracked in homeschooling?

Through simple records — learning logs, sample work, and periodic reviews. I provide templates and progress trackers to make this easy and organized.

14. What if I don’t know where to start?

That’s exactly where I come in. We’ll start with a consultation to discuss your child, your concerns, and your goals. From there, I’ll help you create your first roadmap — step by step.

15. How can I get in touch or book a session?
