I couldn't be happier with my experience with Marie! She is responsive, helpful, kind, and quickly provided me with 2 homeschool evaluations and the email address to submit them to my county. I'm so glad I found her website and I'll be using this service each year for our homeschool evaluations!

It has been a wonderful experience working with Marie! This was our first year homeschooling and we had a lot of questions. Marie was so helpful with her quick responses. She gave clear and simple directions as to what was needed for the portfolio, making it easy for me to get everything together for our evaluation. She is professional, knowledgeable and very friendly! We highly recommend!

This was our first home school evaluation experience and we were not sure what to expect. Marie makes it very easy by providing multiple methods in which you can send/upload your children's work (via text, e-mail or uploading it on her website) and multiple ways to hold the evaluation (via phone, Zoom etc.). She provided lots of useful tips for our homeschooling experience and most of all she made my children feel comfortable during our call. We had our signed evaluation form back from Marie on the same day. I could not recommend her more.

FAQ

How is the homeschool evaluation conducted? Is there a test?

Basically, I would chat with each student about their school year (NO QUIZZES!) and address any questions or concerns they or you may have. Our homeschool evaluations are meant to be totally STRESS-FREE and a time to celebrate your children’s educational accomplishments from the past year.

How do I submit material being reviewed?

It’s EASY and SIMPLE… You can scan the documents or take pictures on your phone, then just email them to mariescicchitano@gmail.com. You can also text pictures of work samples to 813-417-7461.

If you keep a digital album (like a private album on Facebook, Google Drive or Dropbox), you can send that to me as well.  Whatever is easiest for you.

What if our curriculum is e-learning based?

If your student completes any e-learning classes, please provide transcripts or grade reports from the program.

When will I receive my evaluation letter after our appointment?

I will often get the evaluation letter back to you the same or next day, however, please plan on scheduling your evaluation 2 weeks before it is due to allow for plenty of time to turn it in to the district office.

There is a $25.00 rush fee for each evaluation letter needed on the very same day.

Are there sibling discounts?
YES, we proudly offer discounts for multiple siblings.  $50 – 1st child | $25 – each additional child
How are do I make a payment?

Payment can be sent via Paypal, Venmo, Zelle, or Cash App once the evaluation is complete. Once payment is received, I will then send you a signed copy of an evaluation letter for each child that you can send to the school district.

What counties in FL do you complete homeschool evaluations for?

I complete homeschool evaluations for every county in FL via online or phone call discussions.

Are you a Family Empowerment Scholarship Provider (FES-formerly Gardiner Scholarship)?

Yes. I am a direct provider for the FES so can bill them directly without you having to pay first and be reimbursed. If you would like to learn more about the Family Empowerment Scholarship and how it may help your family, you can do so at this link… www.stepupforstudents.org/for-parents

Are the evaluations online and how are they scheduled?

All portfolio evaluations are conducted via phone. If you feel your child would benefit from a video call, please let me know and it can be set up through Meet or WhatsApp for an additional $25 fee.

You can schedule your homeschool evaluation HERE: https://meetings.hubspot.com/marie50.

Not sure how much time to block off? Reserve at least 15 minutes for 1 student, 30 minutes for 2 and 45 for 3+. There is a 15-minute buffer before/after each session so no worries if we go a bit over . Please let me know if you don’t see any dates/times that work for you.

Which school material do I need to have ready?

What I like to see for each student is a sample of beginning, middle, and end of year work for each subject. For example, a math worksheet or two from the beginning, middle, and end of the year. Depending on the subject, this can be a poster, picture, writing sample, etc.  If your student completes any e-learning classes, please provide transcripts or grade reports from the program.

I also like to see a book list.  This does not need to be cumulative, just a sample of what each child is reading or what you read to them. Also please provide a curriculum list, any educational websites used, co-op classes taken, etc. As well as a sample of what your child does on a daily, weekly or monthly basis. It can show a day or two of a written calendar, a printed out Skedtrack calendar, a photo collage of the year, family blog, whatever your family uses to keep track of your activities.

If you unschool, pictures of field trips, tickets, or memorabilia from any other fun experiences can be sent in.

If you have a special needs child, please feel free to send any samples showing what you work on throughout the year.  Video clips work great for this!
