Science for Home Educators

Science for Home Educators was founded by Nathalie Thomas (a home educating
mum) in May 2009. She found that a lot of home educating families find it
difficult to offer their children science programmes, especially when they reach
their teens.

Our science courses and resources are based on the New Zealand curriculum
and have a secular point of view. There is a focus on the chemical and physical
sciences.

Nathalie has a Master's degree in Chemistry and a diploma of teaching (secondary)
from Auckland College of Education. She has taught science, chemistry, physics and
mathematics in New Zealand secondary schools for over 10 years.

Nathalie retired from teaching four years ago and is now home educating her
two sons in the Bay of Plenty. Husband Kerry Thomas maintains this website.
