In this episode, we speak with Teresa Dennis.

Teresa is an Education Consultant, Tutor, and Advisor to both home and traditional schooling institutions in the Western Cape.

Teresa is a homeschooling veteran who educated her own children for 15 years and established an innovative dual-curriculum high school division for Grades 10-12 while working as the High School Academic Head at Cape Town Torah High School. She also acted as the self-study leader of the accreditation process for Grades K-12 that enabled the school to become properly accredited as an International School.

Her personal philosophy of education is strongly based on the work of John Dewey, who believed that "if we teach today's children as we taught yesterday's then we rob them of tomorrow."

In this episode, we cover topics such as:

- Teresa’s educational ideals.
- What to consider when migrating to a homeschool or blended learning system.
- Her decision to homeschool her kids.
- The future of education.
