The Freelance Homeschooler
Our homeschool teachers use proven & solid techniques with special needs students, including Autism, to work on coping skills, redirection, focus, memory, concentration, & more during class as needed. Class assignments and expectations are adjusted as needed for each student to achieve success and enjoy learning. Most classes are held in Limerick, Maine; we are working on online attendance options for all classes. Please let us know if you're interested in online attendance and which class(es) so we can prioritize them for you!

One Parent's Recommendation
"My son faces a number of mental health and psychosocial special needs challenges, so it is very heartening for him to be able to connect with someone... as committed, patient, & understanding as Malena... His self image & confidence is increasing... I highly recommend this teacher."
