Course and Coaching Testimonials
Her Help Made the Difference
Julie is an ‘outside the box’ thinker, and a master at finding unique and helpful resources. She referred me to a neurobehavioral center that was instrumental in confirming my son’s diagnosis of Asperger’s syndrome, and provided him with a scholarship for specialized tutoring. This made the difference in him passing vs. failing a math class at the high school he attended.
A Knowledgeable Resource
Julie has homeschooled for many years, is very knowledgeable about resources and schooling a variety of students, and I feel that anyone who is interested in homeschooling would be encouraged by her.

Alternatives to Traditional College Teens Need to Know About
Unlike a lot of parents, I don’t think every kid should go to college. In fact, for many kids, it’s not the best choice. They should consider alternatives to traditional college. Why? Because some kids just don’t have aptitude. Some kids have aptitude but lack other necessary skills for success. And, a lot of teens start college and don’t finish or, they take an extra year (or two) to finish. That’s because they start college without knowing why they’re there. Prevent that at all costs! They should take a career assessment tool to help them. Otherwise, they may become one …
