About the Episode

On the Strike a Balance Podcast for Working Homeschool Moms this week, I chat to Elan Page about diversity in homeschooling. Elan is a podcaster, coach, and founder of Homeschool Our Way.

She is passionate about supporting families of color as they start their homeschool journey because of the invaluable opportunities it's afforded her own family: the ability to give her two daughters one-on-one instruction, the ability to nurture their children’s individual strengths and passions, and the ability to adapt both of their girls’ education to their unique learning styles.

Elan believes strongly that every family should have the knowledge and resources they need to start homeschooling with confidence and clarity, and Homeschool Our Way exists to do just that.

Elan and her husband live in Dallas, Texas with their elementary-aged daughters.

Elan has such a positive outlook on homeschooling and it's a joy to hear about her experiences. It's also so valuable to hear her sage advice about balancing work and homeschooling and making sure children feel seen and represented in their homeschooling journey.

Working homeschool mom, I know how overwhelming it can be to choose a math curriculum for your homeschool. That's why I'd like to tell you about the online math curriculum we've been using for years – CTCMath.com.

As far as math curriculums go, it has loads of great features that solve lots of the math issues we've had and I know a lot of homeschooling families have. Here are a few of the features (from the many) that we really like:

• Questions are adaptive which means the interactive questions change in difficulty depending on the student's ability. They use a smart algorithm that tracks the student's progress and delivers questions based on their unique needs. The student doesn’t even know this is happening, helping them to build confidence and master concepts!
• Concepts are delivered through video tutorials and summaries which are clear, complete, and easy to follow [like having your very own teacher]. This ensures your children understand something before they're asked to practise it.

And then for us parents, CTCMath has:

• Extensive reports which are valuable in monitoring your child's progress and spotting any gaps.
• And they offer a 12-month money-back guarantee if this curriculum is not for you and your family. CTCMath will provide a full refund, no questions asked.

But I think the most important things is a whole lot LESS stress when it's math time for both parents AND kids. You get to outsource math with confidence and your kids get a fantastic tailor-made programme that makes learning and mastering math enjoyable and positive.
