Although the clue is in the name, home schooling is often misperceived as set structure of a parent teaching their own child, in their own home. In fact, home schooling is the term used to explain the education of a child anywhere other than ‘school’. A child may be home educated at home, and/or in several different places, such as tuition centres and local home education centres. In many instances it is the parent who takes on the role of teacher; however, a tutor or an online teacher may also be involved in a home educated child’s learning.
