About Micarle:
"Before we started on our family’s homeschooling journey, I spent 15 years working with teens as a secondary teacher. As a teacher, I was constantly in awe of the young adults around me. The wisdom, responsibility, ingenuity, kindness and the love of learning displayed, when given the opportunity to follow their true interests and passions, always left me humbled. When it came to our own little humans we gave traditional schooling a go, but quickly decided it wasn’t for us. In amongst all this, I run literacy intervention sessions, I am creating an online program to share methods and resources. AND I am an executive function coach.
Fearless Homeschool was founded by Kelly Kotanidis, in 2016, to help homeschoolers gain the confidence to step away from the school model and create an interesting and wildly effective education for their families.
In 2023 I stepped in to continue and expand on Kelly’s vision. We have helped thousands of families embrace their own quirky style of natural learning with
free homeschooling resources, homeschooling courses, and the yearly Australian Homeschooling Summit.
