TELL ME MORE
After discussions between Anderson Academics and your family, a custom academic program will be developed for your student. Anderson Academics may meet with your student once a week, several times a week or even everyday. Sessions could be for an hour, several hours or a full day. All scheduling is tailored to meet the needs of your family.
Unlike most tutoring arrangements, Anderson Academics will not mearly sit at a table with your student and review textbooks for an hour a week. Instead, your child's session could be out in the community, working with technology or going for a hike. We could be interviewing local community members or studying exhibits at Grinnell's local art gallery.
While remedial sessions are likely to be the most stationary and consistent, even these sessions are project-based. (meaning learning is developed through comprehensive project planning, execution and presentation)
--COVERING ACADEMICS WHILE THEY LIVE THE LIFE YOU PROVIDE--
Full Contracts
Private Education
A high-class, distinct, incredible educator who joins your family to oversee the development of your child/ren
Your School
What does your dream school look like? Do you want a lot of tech? Minimum tech? Have no idea? Do you love buzz words like Montessori and passion-based, but don't actually know what that means to a homeschool?
When you hire a private educator, you design your school with as little or as much involvement as you want. Miss Anderson can be self-sufficient in creating a learning environment, can help your ideals come to fruition, or can work within a provided environment. This will be your school.
Your Travels
Do you or your spouse travel often and/or for extended periods of time? What if your children joined you on your travels--not as anchors, but as loved ones with whom you can make memories when you're not working? With A.a, you can have your children's schoolings travel easily with your career, and give them educations that maximize the opportunities provided by your travels. Miss Anderson's creativity, resourcefulness, and intellect allow lessons to go well beyond anything a school can offer the frequent traveler.
Way more than Academics
Private education encompasses a great deal more than academics, just as a child's life does. A.a students are supported in extracurriculars such as sports and fine arts, but also in exploring the world through museums, nature, professional laboratories, business pursuits, lectures, civil services, cultural immersions, and more. When you hire Miss Anderson, you are hiring a professional to entirely orchestrate the ideal development of and respond to your child and their situations--aiming for outcomes you define.

Salary
The salary in this position can vary. Because I work contracts throughout the world, it is difficult to give number for your specific situation. To decide if you are in the right place, consider my range $120,000 to $210,000 per year.
Travel
I travel with your family as often as you would like. While traveling, you are responsible for expenses such as separate and private accommodations, dinning, and transportation. Depending on your child/ren, I sometimes travel with the children and not parents. In these situations, if nanny/s are traveling, my accommodations remain separate from the children's; but if I travel as the only child-focused adult, the children and I will have adjoining accommodations.
Housing
I prefer to live out unless offered accommodations are separate from the family's home.
Benefits
Other benefits such as insurances and specific time off are not essential, but can give your application an edge. (Our contract will define time off.) The benefit I most value is investment matching/retirement contributions.
