Do you need an Expert to help with home education?
An "expert" is an individual sought for their knowledge and wisdom; you seek them for advice and assistance when you're not fully qualified to make complex decision, given the consideration of large amounts of information and their interdependencies. The situation of selecting educational products is precisely when you should consult an expert, to validate your ideas. HomeEdExpert Advisor makes it affordable and easy, and attaches equal emphasis on mapping and matching teaching style as well as learning style.
How does the term "educational products" differ from "textbooks?"
Educational products include traditional hard back and soft back textbooks and workbooks along with DVDs, e-books, parent helps, solution manuals, teaching and testing guides and many other formats. Textbooks are a common and popular format, but only a subset of the Educational Products portfolio. Today, digital formats, like e-books, online classes, etc., provide a large array of choices, often at considerable savings compared to new textbooks; that's precisely why used products are included in HomeEdExpert Advisor and HomeEdShopper Express.
Can you simply ask other home educators what products they recommend?
There is a wealth of teaching and learning materials, and the selection are extensively diverse, but your ability to take control, begins with HomeEdExpert Advisor. What may be right for your friends and/or their children isn't necessarily the best fit for you or yours. Your teaching style and your students' learning styles may be different than those of fellow homeschoolers. Simple variances, like level of computer literacy, or preference to an approach, such for independent study, may yield vastly unique curricular recommendations when you attach equal emphasis on mapping and matching teaching style as well as learning style.
How do other home education websites compare to HomeEdExpert?
