Hey, Teacher Friend!
When the time comes to transition from a traditional teacher into a homeschooling teacher, it’s important to weigh the pros and cons. Each year, thousands of more parents are choosing home education programs for their children while forgoing the traditional educational system. Teachers are in high demand for this type of educational model. According to the National Home Education Research Institute, the population of homeschooled children is increasing by 15-20 percent each year, making a viable market for homeschooling businesses.
With the homeschool market expanding and teachers looking for educational alternatives, this episode is designed to answer some questions about the advantages, disadvantages and trade-offs when stepping out and becoming a teacherpreneur! What some believe to be a pro, may be considered a con to another teacher friend. But nonetheless, you’ll be able to make your own determination after listening to this episode. The following topics will be addressed:
Vacation/Time Off, Income and Expenses, Safety, Business Basics,, Relationships, Hiring, Requirements and so much more!
Are you ready for this?? Let's do this!!
(If you have more questions about this type of business, be sure to email or send a direct message through the platforms below. I look forward to hearing from you!)
Let Your Light Shine,

Hey, Teacher Friend!
In Today's episode, we are taking a deep dive into what a Homeschooling Business actually is! When most people think of homeschooling, they may picture a mom, child or children experiencing day-to-day life in a home full of books, toys, arts/crafts and all sorts of fun! But how does a homeschooling BUSINESS look different than a regular homeschool?
Can TEACHERS really HOMESCHOOL other people's children?
Is it profitable?
Is it legal?
What are the options?
Is it really enjoyable?
Does it have to be in MY HOME?
Is there really a demand for this type of education?
Oh teacher friend, we are hitting the answer bank today! I hope you are gaining more insight as to what it could look like to actually teach with the FREEDOM and JOY all teachers long to have!
Let Your Light Shine,

Hey, Teacher Friend!
Welcome to the First Episode of "Teacher, Let Your Light Shine"! The world needs YOU, Teacher Friend, to step out in faith and design the life you LOVE as a teacher so you can make a BIG impact on our future generations! Today I'm here to share how this happened to me!
In this podcast, I will share my experience as a classroom teacher, instructional coach and what ultimately led me to creating a homeschooling business! I know there are so many more teachers who would love this opportunity, and I want to share this with you! I hope you are given a fresh perspective into what possibilities lie ahead of you in your teaching journey.
I am in Year 2 of beginning a dream school- Lighthouse Learning! I left public school 2 years ago, looking for purpose, freedom and JOY! Never did I think I would be homeschooling my own children, let alone other children. But God had his hands in all of this, and He made a way! Enjoy!

It’s time to ReDream Education!
My name is Makenzie Oliver. Microschool founder, VELA connector, educator, coach, and believer in the power of starting small, dreaming boldly, and rebuilding the future of education one courageous step at a time.
If you're here, it's because something in your life, your classroom, your family, your child, or your community, is asking for a new dream. A wiser dream. A ReDream. With ReDream Education, we challenge the old models, we rethink what learning can be, and we build innovative pathways for children, families, and communities.
In this weekly podcast, in our Facebook group, in our blog, and in our membership program, you will will gain systems, strategies, stories, and soul work you need to design personalized learning, understand how education is changing for the better, start or scale a micro-school, lead with confidence, make a change for your family, and create an education model that actually works for today's world; because you aren't just dreaming of something different - you are building it.
This is a place where we reinvision what school can be, reimagine how children learn, and rebuild the systems that were never designed to meet the needs of our future and current generation. With ReDream Education, we share insights, strategies, stories, and tools to teach our children better, transform learning at home, support innovative education models, and invest financially or personally in the future of students everywhere.
Because you aren't just dreaming about a better education, you are part of the movement to create.
This is where the future begins.
