WHAT PEOPLE SAY
Angie Stranyak
Balancing virtual homeschooling of a middle school child & graphic design consulting business
Dexter, Michigan
"It was awesome to spend an hour talking to you on Tuesday. I thoroughly appreciate the time and information. I have shared your website and contact info with several friends. I loved how the conversation had a 'framework' based on my initial questionnaire but it flowed to other subjects like sleep and child empowerment. I took two pages of notes and feel like I have a ton of new resources for navigating this strange new world. I've already tapped into several of the suggestions you made about time negotiations and studying our sleep. We were both in bed with lights out at 9 p.m. last night."

"Our family has known Tammy for close to thirty years, first as a Waldorf inspired teacher for our three oldest children and then a genuine friendship based on common interests rooted in parenting and our homeschool journeys. Tammy will be of great support for families required to homeschool due to Covid or those homeschooling by choice."
"I have known Tammy Renner for over 30 years and met her when she organized and ran an enrichment group (music and creative arts) for homeschoolers in Cincinnati. I would place the word “extraordinarily” before each of the following when describing Tammy’s approach to designing the program and dealing with parents and children in this group: creative, gentle, patient, respectful and generous."

"As Tammy’s daughter, I benefited from her knowledge of how to find ways to make learning material accessible and engaging. My mother studied a wide variety of pedagogies and applied what worked best from each of them to help my sister and I enjoy learning. We learned far more than we even realized at the time. I believe that consulting with Tammy can help you keep learning alive during the pandemic, and awaken your child’s passion for learning, build confidence, and encourage a lifelong pursuit of knowledge."
​
"I'm a mother of three. I think Tammy is a very trustworthy person. She gives me precise ideas when I am confused or lost. I love the way she works with kids."

"Tammy was a wonderful support to my homeschooling. She always came up with such creative, holistic solutions for problems. She connected me to so many materials and resources, and was a wealth of wisdom about the necessity and value of including the arts, dance, music and movement into the home school experience. She is wonderfully talented, smart and experienced. Having her with you on this path will help immensely."
