Tutorials
Support Groups
What's the Difference?
These Groups are a great way to meet like minded friends and find the support you need in teaching a subject or simply getting ideas for your homeschooling. They are all very different , contact the groups or instructors directly to find one that fits your needs and style.
​
Co-ops are generally parents that get together to share knowledge, skills, and resources to teach classes in groups. Most require parent participation of some kind. They are usually reasonably priced classes due to the shared parent help.
​
Tutorials hired teachers or tutors for a small group, such as pod schools or hybrid homeschools. Parents are less likely required to participate in a tutorial and it may be a drop off situation if desired. For the sake of this list we are including any type of paid instruction. These can be small groups or private tutors and types of classes can range widely. They usually cost more due to the hired tutor or instructor but are usually worth it for the specialized help.
​
Support Groups are usually social groups for parents or families. Some may have structured activities for the children others may be a mom's group to share ideas or just take a break. These are generally free or very low cost.
