Its almost like school, you sit and your mother will teach you the basics/advanced studies of the required classes.

It really depends on how you plan to do it. Some people use preset curriculum's, do it through an online program or they make up the curriculum themselves. My mom always put together the curriculum on her own, to make it fit me and my academic needs. When I was younger she would write down what I needed to do in a journal and give me a brief overview of what I was going to do, what might be hard and any other details I might need. Then, she would go and work with my brothers while I worked on something from the list and every once in awhile she would check in with what I was doing and help me with anything difficult. Now that I am older and more capable of working without supervision, I have all my schoolbooks in my bedroom and I decide what I do and when I do it. I have a plan book where I write down what I do everyday and as I go, I keep track of the hours I spend on each subject. Sometimes, if my mom isn't really busy, she'll check in with me during the day, but a lot of times she just talks to me about what I did in the afternoon or evening. One thing about homeschooling is that is is A LOT of independent work. If you have never done it before, it will probably be a shock to you! Overall though, its a lot of fun. Its nice to be able to work at your own pace! I hope I helped and good luck!
