What a wonderful video... This is what youtube was meant for!

[rachaelwilliams]

Thank you so much for making this video! There is very little information around for the older years. 😊

[TheEnglishCad]

Super helpful. Thanks for this. It’s a minefield without videos like this. Keep up the great work. We need the guidance!!!

[skabir]

Thank you so much for this very insightful video!

Thank you for this. My daughter is currently Year 6 and we just deregistered. We are planning on seeing out the end of the school year at home and deciding about Year 7 when it comes to it. I'm so torn right now about what is best for her. I am so happy I found your videos

[nurturingdiscontent]

Just caught up with your video. Another fab one! I need to try out Oak Academy. I remember you mentioned it before and I forgot. My kids have been doing in-person Home Ed Spanish lessons, but our budget is getting v tight right now, so an online version is tempting!

Looking at these videos I wish I had the courage to home educate at a younger age.

Hi there. Thanks so much for your videos. I have a question on the science course. How many lessons do you do per week in order to complete the course in two years and on average how long does each lesson take to complete? Thanks so much.

[evawebb]

This is very helpful thank you, just wondering about your schedule?

Thank you :)

Thank you for making these videos, they have been so helpful. Can I ask if the Catherine Mooney English courses get high results? We are aiming for a high grade but I’m not sure if her courses are suitable.

[rachaelwilliams]

I have just rewatched this video as I’m looking for ideas for science. I am interested to know if the online science curriculum you mentioned here has at home experiments for the students to try? My child follows a different video course for science currently. Whilst they enjoy the hands on experiments they can do at home, they find the tutor’s style doesn’t suit them.

Such a helpful video, my child is also Year 7 so its been really useful to see what works for you. Thank you for sharing :)

HI

Thank you. I have a summer born ADD boy of 13.

I was also interested in how your older ones schedule their days and activities. Mine needs to get out every day and plays video games with friends for a couple of hours from 5 ish. But we still get so little done each day?!? Maybe one day's fix-it grammar, a few sums and some piano and a lesson of duolingo and his brain is tired. How do other kids do 9 subjects at school??

[Northumberlandwoodlands]

We have just de registered our 12 and 13 year old from high school as they both have autism and have become extremely unhappy due to events at all seems so scary at the minute how do we organise your videos are going to be such a big help thank you...Ursula

[roxannewestern]

Hiya, do you have any advice for me. My daughter is 12 but is working probably 2-3 years behind her year/age. I took her out of school as she wasn’t progressing and getting the time to take things in etc. what would you do in my situation on where to start. You seem to be switched on being able to offer some advice. I’d appreciate it so much xxx

[nadianadou]

Hey, my daughter is going to be in Year 9 next year, do you recommend the comprehension Oxford book as a complete language art curriculum in order to achieve IGCSE successfully? Thanks for sharing xxx

How long typically would you say your teens spend doing lessons / workbooks, expecially on the run up to gcses

[channel_incubator]

Your video was fantastic! The content truly deserves more engagement and visibility. However, upon review, I noticed that your channel and videos lack optimization, particularly in terms of SEO. Its current SEO score is 0 out of 100, hampering its exposure to a broader audience. Want to explore how enhancing your channel's SEO can boost your reach?
