One-on-One Coaching

The fastest way to move toward unschooling in your family.

Feeling Overwhelmed by All the Options?

Home education doesn't have to feel so uncertain.
Instead of spending hours searching for answers, talk to someone who’s been there—and helped thousands of families find their way.

Life is too busy to explore the internet, hoping to find what
might assist you and your child.

It helps to have someone walk alongside you, guiding you to discover what’s useful and what may not work for you. 

 

Sue Patterson's one-on-one coaching is ideal for families who want to move more quickly toward unschooling or deal with personal obstacles more privately.

You Don't Have to Figure This Out Alone!

Wouldn't it be great to stop all the second-guessing?


Unschooling can feel like a leap—and sometimes, like you’re leaping without a net. You're feeling ready to leave the traditional path behind, and now you're searching for something that feels more authentic... but how do you know you’re “doing it right”?

That’s where a coaching call with me can help.

With nearly 30 years of unschooling experience—and three grown kids who’ve thrived in life, college, careers, and relationships—I can help you stop spinning in circles and start moving forward with clarity.

Whether you're:


  • Brand new and still deschooling
  • Stuck in fear about academics, transcripts, or “doing enough”
  • Navigating pushback from friends or family
  • Craving more connection and less conflict with your kids

...I’ll meet you right where you are.

Together, we’ll identify what’s working, what’s not, and what simple shifts can help you create a peaceful, personalized learning life at home.

You don’t have to settle for doubt or isolation.
You can have confidence, clarity, and support—right now.

🔆 Let’s talk. Your family’s unique path is waiting.

No more second-guessing — let’s figure this out together.


What exactly happens on a coaching call?
It’s just a conversation—no pressure, no judgment. You bring your worries, your what-ifs, your “I’m not sure this is working...” and I help you sort through it all. Whether it’s academics, parenting challenges, or just needing someone who gets it—we’ll talk it through together.


Can you help me compare unschooling to other homeschool styles?
Yes, absolutely. We can talk through the differences, what each one looks like day to day, and what might actually work best for your family’s values and needs. I’ll help you sort through the options—without pressure.


What if I’m only sort of unschooling?
That’s completely fine. Some families take a gradual approach—what I often call “almost unschooling.” Honestly? That’s how we started too. We began with a boxed curriculum and, over time (not very long, really), saw the benefits of letting it go. You don’t have to have it all figured out. We can talk through where you are, what’s working, what’s not—and find a path that feels right for your family.

Unschooling sounds kinda... weird. How do I know you’re not too out there?
Totally fair question. When I first heard about unschooling, I thought, “Who ARE these people?” 
But I’m not about unicorn dust or magical thinking. I’m practical, experienced, and focused on helping you find what actually works.
If you're unsure, start by listening to my podcast or watching a couple of my YouTube videos. You'll quickly see—I started exactly where you are, asking the same skeptical questions. You’ll see pretty quickly that I’ve been where you are—and I’m not here to judge or push, just to help.


I don’t know anyone else doing this. Am I the only one?
Definitely not. Many families feel like they’re on an island. That’s why these calls can be such a relief—you finally get to talk to someone who’s walked this road and helped hundreds of families just like yours.


Are you going to tell me what to do?
Nope. This isn’t about giving you a script—it’s about helping you uncover what works best for your family. I’ll ask questions, offer ideas, and point out possibilities you may not have seen yet.


What do I need to do to set it up?
Just click the button, pick a time, and I’ll take it from there.
You don’t need anything fancy—just a willingness to talk things through.
