Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to be a teacher to make the most of your support?
Not at all. Everything I create is designed for parents, not professionals. That’s my driving passion. I want to break down research-backed strategies into clear, practical steps so you can feel confident teaching literacy at home, no matter your background. Come as you are!
Is your support Science of Reading aligned? Why does this matter?
Yes — 100%. Everything I offer is grounded in the Science of Reading, so you can trust that it’s evidence-based, effective, and developmentally appropriate for your child. This matters so much! Decades of research has shown the science behind how children learn to read and what truly works. You shouldn’t need a teaching degree to benefit from this. My goal is to help cut through the complicated terminology and bring that research in to your every day homeschool in ways that feel practical and empowering.
Will your support align with our homeschool style?
Absolutely. It doesn’t matter if your home is child-led, structured, unschooled, or something in between. My approach is designed to fit your unique rhythm, not force you into a mould. You know your children best. I know the science. Together, we’ll build confident readers in a way that honours your values and works in real life.
What makes Nestwise different?
I live both worlds! I’m a qualified educator, a working literacy specialist AND a homeschooling parent. I teach in classrooms, lead small-group interventions, and sit beside my own kids at the kitchen table. I'm immersed in the research and I know how to make it work at home. Nestwise isn’t a program. It’s personalised, expert support. I don’t believe your family needs a prescribed product. They need a parent who feels confident, and a guide who respects their rhythm. That’s what I’m here for.
