The holy grail of finding work to fit alongside home education is to have something you love doing, a product or service you truly believe in, flexible hours and a nice bit of money coming in.

With Vanessa Tarr: Vanessa is a home-educating mum of three from Kent, running her Tropic Skincare business alongside family life. Since joining Tropic in May 2025, it's become her main income, and she now leads a team across the UK. -Vanessa's Website@tropicbyvanessatarr on InstagramVanessa's Facebook page

Today's podcast goes deep, really deep ... like Aristotle and Wittgenstein deep! Because Paul is not only busy home educating his daughter but also runs an online academy bringing the fun into philosophy.

Home education is more than just maths and english, and Paul has created a way to introduce some fun mind games into the lives of our home ed peeps as well as allowing him to support his own little home ed family. It's a win win!

With Paul White-Paul White is an experienced teacher, tutor and education business owner with more than 25 years’ experience working with children and young people. He runs Conexus Tuition Medway, supporting both school-based and home-educated learners, and has developed a particular passion for helping home-educated young people access engaging, social and meaningful learning opportunities.
