You do not need a liscence to homeschool your child. Your liscence is the Constitution of the United States which guarantees you the right to homeschool your child. What you need to do is to comply with your state's notififation requirements. Here in Arizona, where the public schools are ranked #50 out of fifty states, I knew I had to homeschool my child. Here, all you have to do is acquire (over the internet) a Letter of Intent to Homeschool, fill it out, (it's very simple), have it notarized and send it along with a certified true copy of your child's birth certificate and immunization record and send it to the Office of the Superintendant of Schools to be placed on file. It is not expensive to homeschool. You can make it expensive as you want to, but be aware that libraries are free and when you take your class, (your child) on a field trip to wherever, you get in free because you are the teacher. HSLDA, (which you will join) will help you tremendously. Most of all, don't forget why you're doing this. People who think school socialization is a good thing do not know what is going on in schools today. A higher percentage of homeschoolers get into college than from public schools. Before this year, the previous 13 winners of the national spelling bee have been homeschoolers. The national school chess championship belongs to homeschoolers annually. We have activities where homeschoolers get together for learning and fun experiences. Do this. Have fun.

It's hard to answer this question without knowing where you live. In the US, I am not aware of any state that requires a parent to be "licensed" to teach their own children (teaching someone else's children is a whole different ballgame). Most only require you to have a high school diploma or GED.
Other countries obviously have different requirements. HSLDA has a brief legal analysis for each state in the US at their website. They also have info on several foreign countries, so you might look there even if you're not in the US.

That relies upon on your state regulations. maximum states require a licensed instructor if the figure isn't the single doing the coaching or the newborn is in a private college. Many factors have communities that get round this regulation through forming co-ops the position the scholars have team classes and activites. although, that continually isn't the accepted education or for all topics. otherwise, that is considered a private college or tutoring. What you're describing appears like a structure college or tutoring middle.

You might want to check with the state you live in but in Ohio you do not. There are a lot of on-line home school programs that you could use. Some even provide the student with a computer & pay your internet service bill for you while you are enrolled. Good luck!

Just a heads up about hslda:
http://www.homeschoolingislegal.info/
Christian and secular homeschoolers have both had issues with the way that organization operates, and there are other means of learning your rights, and of protecting your legal right to homeschool.

No, but most states have some requirements for homeschooling. To find the laws in your state:

No, but you may need to register with the state board of education. Check the state web site and see what they require.

it depends......what my mom did was contact the local school district and they make sure that you're complying with the local and or state regulations. then as long as you are you're all set if not they'll tell you what to do in order to get there.

check with your local school board. you may can even find your state's requirements online.
I don't think any of the states requires any type of license.
