This 31 day free boot camp for new homeschoolers was created from my 10 years of conducting workshops in person with new homeschoolers. And here at Tina’s Dynamic Homeschool Plus, I have an enormous number of tips.
They are tried and true tips that WORK. You will get tips on 4 major areas you need help with now.
Too, much has happened since I wrote this series years ago. I now have 3 homeschooled grads and I’m still in the homeschool world mentoring Mr. MunchKing.
In addition, I have both a comprehensive self-paced course for first-time homeschoolers and a book for new homeschoolers.
However, starting your first homeschool year can be daunting. So, I’ve organized my content here to help you get started easily, and quickly with a minimum amount of wasted time.
New Homeschooler Online Self Paced Course – Have the Details Now!
As I explained above, there is much to know about homeschooling. If you want what has been called the Cliff’s notes version, then grab my Homeschooling 31 Day Boot Camp for New Homeschoolers: When You Don’t Know Where to Begin book.
Also, if you want the comprehensive details about how to homeschool, then you’ll want to take my online self-paced Kickstarter course.
I take First-Time Homeschoolers from Fear to Freedom.
You will learn in this online self-paced course for new homeschoolers.
| MODULE 1 What I DIDN’T Learn From My Homeschooling Mother, But Should Have (1 workshop & Printables) Support is important and you should trust your ability to teach. You’ll walk away from this workshop knowing you’re capable of teaching your kids and why you’re capable. The nuggets in this workshop are golden for the beginner. | MODULE 2 Diving In (Leave Your Public School Mindset Here) (3 workshops & printables) If you’re struggling with your public school mindset or that there is one right way to succeed you’ll understand what it means to homeschool and why it’s not public school at home. Homeschooling is a superior approach for a reason. |
| MODULE 3 How to Choose Curriculum (Wisely) (9 workshops & printables) The BIGGEST mistake new homeschoolers make is buying curriculum without knowing how to buy it other than the looks good method. Avoid stress two or three months into your journey by knowing EXACTLY what to choose for your children. | MODULE 4 Teaching the Stages of Homeschool (8 workshops & printables) Jammed packed with great information on understanding the transitions children go through from PreK to High School prepares you to homeschool for the long run. Each learning stage is broken down for you so that you gain the best tips for how to teach and what to teach. |
4 Areas New Homeschoolers Need to Focus On
| MODULE 5 How to Organize it ALL ( 5 workshops & printables) Finding balance with all the new hats you’ll be wearing and time management are not easy. Using the AWESOME sample schedules in this module and the step by step plan, I walk you through creating a routine or schedule UNIQUE to your family. Beginning homeschooling by stuffing it into an already busy life is not the way to begin. Did I mention as an organized person I have many tidbits of organization help sprinkled throughout the workshops? | MODULE 6 Facing Your BIGGEST Fears Not If But WHEN They Happen (1 workshop & printables) There is a GREAT BIG list of wrong things you’re focusing on in your first or second year which will suck the life out of your homeschool journey. Begin your journey with the wisdom of the past which has worked successfully for thousands of homeschool families who have gone before you. |
As you can see, knowing the details instantly, but learning at your pace has many advantages.
Further, I’ve identified 4 areas that new homeschoolers need to focus on. This will save you time wondering where to begin.
First, I’ll share the basics of the homeschool world.
Second, I’ll share tips on how to organize for your new homeschool lifestyle.
And no, that means most blogs or sites are not living our life.
Tips shared on sites which are not living our lifestyle may give you the wrong impression of what is an organized homeschooler.
Third, curriculum is another topic which first-time homeschoolers focus on.
Although curriculum is important, there are other things you need to know first. Lastly, I’ll share a variety of tips which you may encounter in your first years.
More important, I’ll share ways to get you over the hump successfully.

More New Homeschooler Tips
Oh my goodness, I can’t believe I just found your site. I am embarking on my journey of homeschool and have anxiety levels that I didn’t think I’d have. Your site stands out because I haven’t found one that is this thorough. I am at the curriculum choosing stage, and feel like there are 100 paths in front of me to take and it feels like I can make the wrong choice. I am going to back up a bit and read your Boot Camp for newbies and see what else I can do here at your site to help me along the way. Thank you for helping us folks who are even pulling kids out of public schools because sometimes that specific area is not always approached as much as those who have/are homeschooling from ground up.
Jacki,
I was wanting to scoot by here early to welcome you, but I get a fair number of emails this time of year and just take my time going through them all because I answer every one. I am SO glad to have you here.
I really feel like what I have to offer is very unique because it does come from years and years of helping new homeschoolers and NOT just my own experience. I love new homeschoolers. They bring an excitement to homeschooling that keeps me going too.
So glad to have you here and take your time going through my free bootcamp and be sure you are following my blog JUST for new homeschoolers on New Bee Homeschooler too.
Check out my program too!!
THANK YOU!!! This Boot Camp is EXACTLY what I’ve been searching for (I don’t usually use so many caps, that’s just how excited I am)! I will soon be starting the homeschooling journey with my kids, but am very overwhelmed, as I’m sure most parents are at the beginning. This was a great way to get more information in a step-by-step manner, as well as all the great tips from an experienced homeschooler. Thanks again!
Hi Rachel,
I am SO glad to hear from you. And just do not worry about ALL THE CAPS..lol lol. I am so glad to have you and hate that it takes me a while to reply, but each comment is so important to me and I love to reply to individual post here though it may take me a few days. :o) Please know you are right – overwhelmed is normal, just remember to come up for air and do not focus only on what your children need, but on your needs too.
We as selfless moms need to remember that we can only help our children as long as we take care of our needs too and homeschooling requires a lot of giving in the beginning. Be sure to check out my free workshop too and don’t forget I have my program and otherwise stick around. So glad to have you here and following!!
I am here for you too Rachel!!
Hi Tina and Kelley, Just a heads up you are missing a word in the following phrase at the top of the page before days 1-7 “Enjoy this boot camp when you don’t ??? where to begin……..” love you ladies!!
Oh Renee,
I just realized my reply never came through! Thank YOU GIRL! I NEVER mind these types of comments. I welcome them and so glad you caught that! Miss you too….love all of our “not so new bees”
Hugs
