On today\\u2019s show, I have Nadia Lewis-Gorton, Educational Consultant, Windrush Educator, Home Schooling Mother, Online Tutor and Mother of 2 boys.

\\n

I had such a blast talking with Nadia, hence the length of this episode!  Stay the course. It will be worth it! 

\\n

If you\\u2019re thinking about Home Schooling or recently moved to a new country and finding it difficult to navigate the education system, this episode is for you.  We also cover other topics to help you along your parenting journey.

\\n

Nadia is from Jamaica but now living in the UK.  Her passion for education and learning started in childhood. In adulthood, she veered off course and worked in the corporate world for many years. However, she found herself naturally teaching and training others. In those little moments she found joy and fulfilment.

\\n

She started on her journey in Special Education when her son was diagnosed with a learning difficulty. Seeing what he needed and what schools offered led her to home schooling and to re-train as an educator.

\\n

As well as being a home schooling mother, she is a tutor and supports parents. Showing them different ways to see their children, by implementing new methods.

\\n

We talk about:

\\n

>Her journey as a home schooling mother

\\n

> How to make home schooling work for you

\\n

>Identifying your child\\u2019s strengths and then how to use those strengths to build on their weak areas
