CONNECTED.
RESILIENT.
GROUNDED JOY.
Welcome to YOUR Homeschool.
“60% of the time, my child completes their homeschool work without tears.”
*le sigh*
Inside your homeschool, you…
aren’t sure you can handle another day of yelling, crying, and lying about finishing a lesson (so you can get back on track to where you should’ve been last month!)
find yourself daydreaming about how easy it would be if the curriculum could be custom matched to your child’s needs
keep sock ‘em boppers nearby in case you need to protect yourself when giving spelling corrections
*insert another le sigh*
Psst…you started your homeschool so your child could learn outside of the box, so why keep using inside-the-box strategies?
Imagine if you could flip the script on what learning “should” look like…
And watch your child take risks with new ideas, get their work done without being asked, and be willing to take your advice…
You can (and deserve to) deepen connection with your child through homeschooling…
Whether you’re brand spankin’ new or have been navigating uncharted waters for what feels like centuries.
"In reflection of the last 6 months, my big win is confidence in who I am becoming. You’ve created a circle of mentors where I can bring my authentic self to seek advice. I feel more comfortable in my day-to-day activities knowing I can lean into my support circle. A circle that’s also growing daily & leading from experience. Being part of the movement & learning empowers me to take it on in my home. Thanks to you and the Teaching Inspired community!"

B.Sc, B.Ed, Certified Teacher
Homeschool Teaching Strategist
Hey! I’m Natalie Burns, certified teacher turned homeschooling mom myself.
And if winging it is starting to ruffle your feathers, homeschooling moms call me when they need an actual plan for homeschool teaching to finally communicate, connect, and raise a resilient child who loves learning.
Would you spend $15 on homeschool art supplies in a heartbeat, but still wear thread bare underwear?
You deserve resources too.
I’ll never forget transitioning to Home Learning Support Teacher after 10 years in the high school classroom…
At that time, I worked for a homeschool academy and the first family I was assigned to ended up quitting their homeschool and the mom put her kids back into the classroom. The reason? The academy needed learning proof from workbooks but she was an outdoor, adventure person.
She wanted her kids to think outside the box. That’s why she started her homeschool in the first place and here she was right back to workbooks, report cards, and math speed drills.
That’s when I realized there was a serious lack of support for homeschooling moms.
I set out to fill that gap.
And Homeschool Teaching Simplified was born…
I’ve now supported 1,000s of families to reignite a love of learning in their children by making homeschool relevant, meaningful, and engaging for their growing minds.
All by guiding you through the process of adapting what you already have to actually work for your family, and showing you how to develop the type of resiliency needed for a life-long love of learning.
“Natalie's given me ways to help me see my children's learning styles differently and it's opened up a whole new world of standards that match and align with our home values and goals for them.”

You’ll love me like a homeschooler loves snacks if…
➡ Winging it is no longer working for you.
You want to lead your homeschool with clarity and confidence, not react from stress or power struggles. You’re ready for learning to feel calmer, steadier, and include more of that “razzle-dazzled” curiosity again.
➡ You’re still searching for curriculum that actually works.
You want the confidence to adapt what you already have, make clear decisions in real time, and stop second-guessing yourself every time things don’t go as planned. You’ve realized that the problem isn’t that you haven’t found the right thing yet — it’s that homeschooling requires discernment, flexibility, and leadership that no curriculum box can provide.
➡ You’re raising a smart, confident, and resilient independent thinker.
You care deeply about independence, thinking, and growth — but you know those don’t flourish under pressure. You’re interested in personal growth, emotional regulation, and becoming the kind of teacher your child can lean into, not push against.
"It is so nice to talk to Natalie because she doesn’t talk to you from a pedestal. I feel like I’ve hit a gold mine."
