About the Episode

On the Strike a Balance Podcast for Working Homeschool Moms, I chat to Natalie Burns from Homeschool Teaching Simplified.

Natalie is a wife and homeschooling mom of 3 on her 2 acre homestead in BC, Canada. As a certified teacher for over 11 years, she taught public high school biology and dance before shifting her desire to homeschool her own children.

For the first years she worked with a local homeschool academy as a support teacher before starting her own business, Homeschool Teaching Simplified.

Natalie now supports homeschooling moms to find freedom to reflect who they are as a family — through the way that they teach — so they can create deeper connection with their child.

I love Natalie's practical and positive approach to homeschool teaching. And she has some really useful strategies to share that you can implement immediately in your homeschool.

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.
