Hi, I'm Susan May,
Long time homeschool mom to my 3 children (19 yo, 16 yo and 9 yo). All 3 were homeschooled their whole lives. Besides homeschooling my teaching experience includes: High school science, Hypnobabies birth classes, and online English to students in China.
But none of those are what make me "qualified" to homeschool. I believe all parents are qualified to homeschool their children if they are willing to put the time and effort in. Most of that time and energy goes into unlearning "Truths" we internalized that are actually NOT true. The most important qualities a homeschool parent can have are being loving, patient, generous and a desire to create a rich life together with their children. Don't feel like you naturally have those qualities? Great news! They can be learned and cultivated.
I began Spelling with my son Carter in the Spring of 2023 when he was 7 years old. I love encouraging others and am excited for more nonspeakers and their families to experience the joys of homeschooling.
I also have business experience organizing online communities and coaching, and am looking forward to utilizing those skills to help more families of nonspeakers thrive. NHS is a project I have been dreaming of for months, if not years, and am so excited to see it being realized now.
Now let me introduce my amazing partner in this venture, April Boden -
April Boden is a longtime homeschool mom to her 3 children, health coach, S2C practitioner and writer. She appeared with her son, Aydan, in the documentary Spellers that debuted in the Spring of 2023.
April is passionate and dedicated to helping nonspeakers unlock their voices through S2C and in addition to being a practitioner she offers consultations, coaching and writes lessons that she posts to her substack site for free and for sale.
