“Homeschooling can be difficult and overwhelming. Going against the grain in general can be the harder choice. Rocco and Tania have a solid foundation and supportive structure that can help many parents navigate an, often confusing, educational path with their children. It’s perfect to have two parents with deep knowledge of education – formal and informal – meaningfully teaching other families how to homeschool.”
I’m a certified teacher with a Masters of Education, an early childhood education degree and focus my attention around child development.
Of course, the most important aspect is that I’m a parent myself! After years of teaching young children, I focus on teaching parents how to help their children learn using clear techniques and methods that cater to you and your child’s comfort level.
Hi, I’m Dr Rocco Ricci.
I’m the second half of the Smart Parent Club, and like Tania, I’m a certified teacher. I’m also an educational researcher and hold a PhD in Curriculum, Teaching & Learning.
Being a parent, my passion is providing children with meaningful education. After years of education, I now focus on teaching parents how to educate their children with less chaos and more success. I teach parents to help their children learn beyond the classroom in ways that make sense.
Our focus is teaching busy parents to confidently educate their children in ways that make individual sense and help them love learning.
Raising independent, well-educated children is no small task. Education is personal, meaningful, self-paced and always adapting to you and your child’s needs, goals and values. Education is about preparing for future success, in all it’s forms, not about checking boxes.
Help your child learn in a way that makes most sense for your family. Confidently and successfully educate your children – with less stress and chaos.
The Smart Parent Club Principles
“choosing to take control of my children’s education was both exciting and daunting. Do I know enough? Am I patient enough? Am I enough? Big questions and worries that can make anyone stick with the mainstream. The early years of unschooling felt manageable but as we’ve transitioned into the teen years, Rocco has been able to provide insight and support around self-directed learning from his extensive experience and research. He has an ability to reassure you to trust the process (and the kids!), to look deeper at the learning happening and to see the bigger picture. Being able to reach out to another alternative thinker has been both grounding and reaffirming.”
Come for confident parenting. Stay for practical educational solutions.
