To contact me

Need more info or have questions? Just drop me an email and I'll get back to you, usually within 24 hours. If I can't answer your question, I will try to refer you to a person or website that can. If you don't have a reply from me within 24 hours, check your spam folder. Some email servers filter more aggressively than others. 

​

I currently have room to add new families to my schedule in Jan, Feb, March, Oct and Dec 2025. If the timing of those options don't work for you, I can refer you to other testers.  I can also add names to a waiting list, and you'll be contacted if an opening becomes available. 

​

To sign up for Peabody testing with me, please include the following info in your message:

The name and current grade level for each child old enough for testing (in Minnesota that's each child who is 7 or older on Oct 1 of your school year)

Who referred you to me for testing (I like to send a thankyou for the referral).

Where you are located- I'm in Minnesota, but can test for families anywhere in the world. We just need to work around time zone differences.

Who am I? 

Firstly, I'm a homeschooling mom of 2 now grown sons. We decided on homeschooling when my oldest was just 3 yrs old, and thought we'd see how it went. Quite honestly, we never looked back. It wasn't always a walk in the park. We had friends and relatives who didn't understand our choice. We struggled with the financial ups and downs  that come with making this a lifestyle choice. But my degree in Psychology and a fascination with watching them grasp concepts and follow their passions just melded into a completely satisfying way to raise and educate children. And I became convinced that textbooks were about the worst way to learn anything -- but especially if your child is a non-traditional learner (by personality or learning style). 

Secondly, I've been a Peabody tester and Homeschool Coach since Jan 2001. I test for homeschoolers in 18 states and 3 other countries and have presented workshops to homeschool parent groups and at statewide conferences encouraging parents to choose their own path. My testing service is part testing, part mentorship/coaching time. This website is meant to offer options for families in a browse-friendly format, available when you need ideas because the current path has hit a roadblock.
