The Coaching Experience
In addition to unlimited access to me, the core component is 5 hours a week with the kids and/or the parents.
Together we will design customized and comprehensive educational plans for all your kids.
I actually work directly with clients’ children on math, reading, writing, chess, and in several other areas like coding and entrepreneurship.
I visit clients in their homes, no matter where they live. They visit me and my family. I do periodic bootcamps of intensive work and also take students on trips.
About Select Clients
My clients are atypically farsighted.
They fully comprehend the anti-intellectual risks of TV and video games.
They cringe when they hear loud, ignorant teenagers or when they see 3-year olds being sedated with snacks and smart phones.
Although outwardly successful, my select clients genuinely believe, with better guidance, they could have done so much more with their own lives had they had a better, earlier start.
They understand that children (the “output”) are strictly a product of parental choices and actions (the “inputs”).
My clients have no qualms about being DIFFERENT – in fact, being different and standing out is one of their life’s implicit goals. They are leaders and want to raise highly confident and competent leaders too.
Why an Education Coach?
First off, no one needs a coach.
The world will not stop turning, the calendar pages will certainly not stop flipping, if a parent doesn’t hire a coach.
Every parent can certainly DIY raise their kids.
And every child has a default future.
But…
My clients WANT a coach.
They want a competitive advantage.
They appreciate the power of modeling proven success.
They understand that I can save them from hundreds of hours of research and frustration.
That I can protect them from making the subtle but major mistakes committed by 99.9% of parents.
And that with my help, they can unlock their children’s full potential.
Investment
The upfront fee for my services over a 12-month period starts at $72,391 USD – $3,000 of which is earmarked for direct product purchases, specialized outside instruction, and other ad hoc expenses.
Most parents invest considerable money in their children when they are teenagers via private tutors, SAT prep, and then college.
I say “invest” but they are really throwing their money away because by that time it’s far too late.
I recommend investing time, energy, discipline, and money when kids are young. Only then can parents SIGNIFICANTLY alter their children’s trajectory….
Contact Me
If you are seriously interested…
Email me at “dan@homeschooldad.com” and broadly describe your situation.
If there seems to be a possible fit, the next step will be a no-cost, no obligation Skype session, phone call, or in-person meeting to further assess compatibility.
Due to the intensive and exclusive nature of my coaching, I only serve a handful of clients at a time.
Do you see this young man above?
I started working with him 7 months prior to the photo. Over that time he went from 3rd grade math all the way to completing 75% of 8th grade math.
And this was from only working with me individually for about 1 hour each week. THIS is the tremendous power of individualized instruction and highlights the results that my methods deliver.
At 11 my son scored 1270 on the SAT. You may have seen this already.
I want to point out one thing here. Understand that I had John quit doing math 3 full years ago when he was 8. We were already at calculus and I decided to quit because, well, of the diminishing returns of higher math.
So he managed to pull off a 710 on the math section of the SAT with a considerable amount of rust on his math brain!
Additionally, if you are an entrepreneur or self-employed and would like more insight into the benefits of individualized instruction, I highly encourage you to read my post:
