The Homeschooling and Worldschooling Boom: A Tutor's Perspective

Ria @ Online Primary Tuition


As a tutor, I’ve witnessed a significant shift in education over the past few years, with homeschooling/ worldschooling gaining popularity amongst families seeking more flexible learning options. This rise can largely be attributed to various factors, including dissatisfaction with traditional school timetables and the growing recognition of the benefits of having a more personalised approach to education.



One major aspect driving this trend is the inflexible holiday entitlement in many schools. Families often find that the rigid academic calendar doesn’t align with their personal or professional commitments. For parents wanting to take holidays during off-peak times to save money or to spend quality time together, the strict school schedules can be a significant hurdle. The increased fines for taking children out of school during term time can feel punitive and unfair, especially when families just want to prioritise shared experiences and learning opportunities outside of the classroom.


Homeschooling/ worldschooling offers a solution. It allows families to create a schedule that suits their needs and interests. Whether it’s a week-long trip to explore historical sites or a project-based learning experience, parents can tailor their educational journey to fit their lives. This flexibility can lead to a more engaging and enriched learning experience, where education happens naturally in the context of real-world activities.


Moreover, the growth of homeschooling/ worldschooling communities and resources has made it easier than ever for families to embark on this path. Parents can connect with others, share resources and find support groups, making the transition less daunting. However, navigating this new landscape can still be overwhelming, especially for those unfamiliar with homeschooling methods and practices.


If you’re considering homeschooling/ worldschooling for your child, feel free to reach out. I can provide information and resources that can help you on your journey. I also offer group sessions to help make the transition less stressful.


In conclusion, the boom in homeschooling and worldschooling represents a shift towards more personalised, flexible education options that align with modern family life. As this movement continues to grow, I’m excited to see how it shapes the future of learning for families across the country.
