Homeschooling??!! You are not alone........

As the school year approaches, we wanted to provide some homeschooling resources in case your family has decided to pursue homeschooling as an option. Why would a tutor be helpful if you are pursuing homeschooling? Although some of these programs have all the materials to learn, our credentialed teachers can help teach the material and also design additional, supplemental lessons to make the material more accessible and interesting to your child.
Homeschooling can also be rough for working parents or even parents that are at home. A few hours of tutoring can greatly alleviate the stress of the parent who may be the sole teacher. Recently, Beach Cities Tutoring has hired many highly qualified tutors with daytime availability to serve you during normal school hours.  As a parent, we also know that researching the right program can be very time consuming. We hope the resources below will be helpful in your search for the right program.
Please inquire for more information if you are interested. The below school programs are some of the better ones that I have found.
