About

We created HomeTeachers to fill a gap we saw between passionate educators and families looking for a different way to learn.

We believe there is another way.

There are teachers who still have so much to give, but no longer want to teach within the limitations of a traditional school system. There are retired teachers who miss the joy of teaching. Tutors, specialists, artists, musicians, and educators with unique skills who want to share what they know. Teachers looking for extra ways to connect with learners on weekends or in the summer. And there are parents who want their children to learn in ways that honour who they are, not simply what a system says they should be learning and when.

HomeTeachers connects families with passionate educators who are ready to teach on their own terms, and families who are looking for learning on theirs.

Whether it’s a retired teacher sharing decades of experience, a specialist nurturing a child’s love of science, a music educator inspiring creativity, or a teacher helping a child discover confidence in reading – we believe there is an educator out there who can make a meaningful difference.

And we believe educators deserve the freedom to teach in ways that feel meaningful to them, too.

Learning doesn’t always need to happen in a classroom. It can happen around a kitchen table, in a backyard, at a library, on a nature trail, inside a homeschool pod, or from the other side of a screen.

HomeTeachers was created to make those connections possible.

A place where educators can keep doing what they love, without the boundaries of a traditional system.

A place where parents can find trusted, passionate educators who align with their family’s values, needs and vision for learning.

A place where education can become more personal, more flexible and more human.

We don’t believe there is one right way to learn.

We believe in finding the right way for your family.

And sometimes, that begins with finding the right teacher.
