Hosted By

Jan Zeiger, Homeschool Consultant & Evaluator



Jan completed her BA and Master's degrees in Elementary Education at the University of Florida and taught for 6 years in Seminole County (in both public and private school). She is available to help families who are just starting out as well as more experienced families who need yearly evaluations. 


Jan recommends a balanced approach to homeschooling that provides opportunities for hands-on and "delight-driven" learning. The homeschooling mother of two encourages parents to keep long-term goals for their children in mind when making educational decisions. These goals might include a great sense of self, a lifelong love for learning, and a strong academic foundation.


Jan has worked with more than 100 families in the area and has written articles about homeschooling for local and national publications. In addition to homeschooling her own children, she is currently studying Educational Leadership at UCF.
