STEM Education - From Home Education to University

Hemmies

Show Notes

STEM subjects are notoriously hard when home educating but they are also rightly popular with our innovated home ed children. So today I am joined by Caroline and Farah to discuss how we can empower our home educated children to study STEM subjects and move into university courses and beyond. With Farah Khan and Caroline Mukisa, expert guests spanning a wide range of education systems, including UK and international schools, university admissions, as well as home education.

Join me as I chat with Jac and Lorna from The Wee Coaching Company as we deep dive into the nervous system and how to ensure our environment, bodies and minds are as regulated as possible to ensure the best learning experience. The Wee Coaching Company: Lorna brings a holistic understanding of children, families, regulation and the realities of supporting people within busy systems. With 29 years across the NHS and coaching practice, she knows a child rarely needs fixing; they need the right environment, steady support and someone able to look beyond behaviour to what is happening underneath. This is the lens she brings to The Wee Coaching Company, now accredited as a Coach of Excellence. Jac brings over two decades of primary classroom experience, including support for pupils with dyslexia, anxiety and additional needs. Her work has shown how deeply confidence shapes learning, and how quickly it can grow with the right approach. She has channelled this into 12 Wise for My Size books and a coaching certification programme for educators nationwide. Together, Lorna and Jac bring practical, compassionate expertise to The Wee Coaching Company. Website Facebook Facebook Group YouTube
