Brisa de Angulo is no stranger to home-schooling; in fact she’s something of an expert. She teaches her three young children at home, on top of running A Breeze of Hope – the charity she founded to help young survivors of sexual assault. Brisa established that organisation because as a teenager in Bolivia, she was raped by a relative and when she came forward about her ordeal, she spent years going through the courts fighting for justice. Outlook’s Jo Fidgen first spoke to Brisa in 2017, and recently caught up with her to hear how the children she works with are getting on, and for some much needed tips for parents and guardians home-schooling their kids during the coronavirus lockdown.

Emma Laukitis knows all about the pleasures and pitfalls of home-schooling. She grew up on a remote island of Alaska and, along with her sister, learned by exploring the seashore and working with their parents on the land.
