Homeschooling Guidance and College Consulting for Homeschooled Students
Hi, I’m Michele Evard, author of “College UnMazed: Your Guide to Design & Document Your Homeschool” and a professional member of the Independent Educational Consultants Association (51Թ). I specialize in guiding homeschooling families and students pursuing non-traditional educational paths. With over two decades of experience, I help families craft personalized K-12 homeschooling plans while providing expert college admissions guidance tailored to homeschooled and gifted learners.
Helping Homeschooled Students Find Colleges That Support Their Needs
Finding a college that values and nurtures a homeschooled student’s potential is key. I assist with the following:
* College List Development: Identifying the best-fit colleges based on academic, social, and financial needs.
* Application Strategy Assistance: Developing standout applications that highlight your child’s strengths and unique homeschooling journey.
* Transcripts and Documentation: Creating professional homeschool transcripts, course descriptions, profiles, and counselor recommendations to align with college expectations.
* Standardized Test Guidance: Advising on test preparation, scheduling, and submission strategies.
* …and more!
HOMESCHOOL SUPPORT SERVICES
I also specialize in designing homeschooling plans that go beyond boxed curriculums. Using diverse resources—including primary sources, online courses, dual enrollment, and tutoring—your child’s education will be as unique and exceptional as they are.
MY BACKGROUND
I bring a strong academic foundation, including a doctorate from MIT, an M.S. in Computer Science from the University of Oregon, and leadership experience at intentionally diverse & inclusive educational organizations including a homeschool cooperative & resource center that was designed to include gifted students. I’m also a proud member of NACAC, SENG (Supporting the Emotional Needs of the Gifted), and the Digital Learning Consortium.
Expertise in Gifted and Twice-Exceptional Learners
While most students I work with are gifted or twice-exceptional (2E), I welcome all families who seek the opportunities provided by homeschooling. Every student deserves a holistic and tailor-made approach to education and college admissions.
