Homeschooling India 101 - An Ultimate Guide To Get Started - By Renuka Mahesh

Homeschooling 101

More parents are now choosing to homeschool instead of sending their children to public or private schools. Learn more about homeschooling in India from Renuka Mahesh from Explore Kids World in this 101 video!

I often get questions from fellow parents about homeschooling & its related confusions! So, I have teamed up with Explore Kids World to answer those questions.

Renuka from Explore Kids World is here to answer your FAQs on homeschooling - What is it? How to start? What are types of homeschooling? What about giving exams of higher classes while homeschooling? And more! 

Renuka is a Marketing Graduate and also a holder of Bachelors in Tourism and Hospitality management and a Masters in Business Administration, English literature & Clinical psychology. She is aspiring to get a Doctorate as well. A child educator by profession, carrying her family legacy of nurturing their small Montessori inspired space “Explore Kids World”, where they enjoy learning the Montessori way and encourage kids to learn & think out of the box. The curricular and co-curricular activities are designed in such a way that kids experience the joy of learning and learning beyond textbooks. Renuka is the third generation. She has grown up seeing Montessori, Early Learning, Gentle Parenting around herself. This was the utmost inspiration that she refused the so called corporate jobs only to pursue her passion and became a child educator. This inspiration led her to take up workshops and courses in Nutrition (infancy and child care), Gentle parenting, Literacy and numeracy skill (The Montessori way ) and counseling psychology. She is now rigorously working, studying and writing about homeschooling.

Now lets get started & here is the much awaited video! I recommend using headphones because the audio is a little noisy to be honest. The reason being, we met at a coffee shop & did this discussion & video. I am a mom & always buying time from here & there. So to shoot this video, I had to send my toddler to a super market to buy grocery along with his dad on a weekend! Talk about limited time & resources for a mom 😉

Here is the 101 video for you!

Hope you found this video useful. If you have any more questions, feel free to connect with Renuka or myself on our social media channels. I am listing all of them below -
