Obtain and review your state's guidelines concerning who can provide home education for children in your state. Often, all that is required for parents to homeschool is a high school diploma and a record that is clear of felonies and child abuse, but unrelated teachers may need college degrees. Depending on your state laws, you may need to register as the homeschool supervisor, prepare the lessons yourself and then hire or ask someone else to provide instruction, with you overseeing everything.
Join a homeschool support group and look for parents in the group who might be interested in taking on the education of your child in exchange for payment. If you manage to make this type of arrangement, your child may get both an education and new friends out of the deal.
Ask a retiree. Often, older people have plenty to offer and more time to give since they are out of the workplace. If you have a retired parent or neighbor who enjoys working with children, your search for a homeschooling teacher may be over.
Post an ad or put up flyers at your local college to find a suitable teacher. College students are often in the market for earning a few extra bucks, and they typically have knowledge to share. This may be a particularly good source for finding foreign language teachers as well as those with an aptitude for advanced sciences and math.
Contact a tutoring company. This company may be able to refer you to educators to help with homeschooling your child.
Try a homeschool resource center. Often, these facilities offer classes for homeschoolers that are actually organized and taught by parents. Frequently, there is just small fee required to participate, but you may also be expected to teach a class or volunteer some of your time for the benefit of the center.
