Hello, I'm Alona
Called to Support.
Called to Support.
Not to Enforce.
I am a PA certified general and special education teacher, homeschool evaluator, and a homeschooling parent myself. I have taught and tutored every grade level from kindergarten through college since 2013.
My role as an evaluator is to support your family — not act as a gatekeeper for the state. I see myself as a guide who stands beside you, helping you navigate Pennsylvania's requirements with confidence while protecting your freedom to teach your children in a way that reflects your values, goals, and rhythms.
With experience across all learning styles — including gifted learners, students with IEPs, nonverbal students, and unschoolers — I focus on growth, not comparison.
