Coaching Session ($40/hour) – by video
Want help with your high school coursework/transcript planning? Do you have a junior or senior who needs help researching and figuring out the college application process? This one-hour coaching call will help you get all your questions answered and a game plan ready for the future.
I request that you send me your questions ahead of time, what your student is thinking regarding his future plans and college and career choices/ideas you are considering (big/small/public/private/in-state/don’t care, etc.) After an initial meeting, you choose whether you want to meet with me again once a semester, once a year, every summer, etc. It’s totally up to you and there is no commitment for a certain number of future meetings.
Here’s a link to get a spot on my calendar!
Coaching Session ($50/hour) – In PERSON
I do the same coaching calls in person at local Panera Bread shops in Roswell, Canton, Woodstock, East Cobb, and Milton. These are the same as my video calls, but in person, which some people may prefer. You can select the location you prefer and email me at support@intentionalarrows.com to arrange a time and location.
Join the High School Coaching Club on the Unite Homeschool Network:
For a monthly fee, you get access to the main feed of the Unite Homeschool Network, plus access to my premium group called the High School Parents Coaching Club. In the club, I post information for high school parents. Anytime you have a question, you can post it and others can chime in with ideas and support. You can customize your notification of posts so you can receive them however you like. We also have a monthly meetup where I will do a teaching time and we can all talk, get to know each other, and ask questions about homeschooling our high schoolers. It’s a great way to get high school support without having to leave your home and drive in Atlanta traffic!
