Lauren has been ‘Home School Coach’ to our 7 & 5 year old (very energetic!) home educated boys for almost 6 months. As well as occasional evening babysitter sorting out dinner and bedtime.
The boys have advanced leaps and bounds in the subjects covered during class times. Both of them are reading 2 levels higher than the expected for their age range as well as progressing in maths, grammar and their vocabulary astonishes me sometimes!
They’ve also covered a wide range of subjects including maths, science and geography with appropriate activities that keep them engaged… which can be a challenge with primary school aged children. My boys regularly tell Lauren that they love her.
We knew from the start that Lauren’s time with us would come to an end in the lead up to starting her PhD but it doesn’t make the fact that she’s leaving any less sad. We’ll miss her a lot.
