How to Teach Subjects You Don’t Feel Confident In—Even Without a Teaching Degree

If the thought of teaching math, science, or grammar gives you hives—you’re not alone. One of the biggest fears I hear from homeschool parents (and one I had myself) is: “What if I’m not qualified to teach this?”

In this episode of The Homeschool Hug, I’m sharing the truth that finally set me free:
👉 You don’t need to be the expert. You need to be the guide.

I open up about the pressure I felt when I started homeschooling—especially as a former classroom teacher who still felt unprepared in certain subjects. I talk about the subject I struggled with most, how I got creative with resources, and why letting your kids see you learn with them is one of the most powerful things you can do.

What You’ll Learn:

• Why your mindset matters more than your mastery
• Easy ways to outsource or support difficult subjects
• How to build your kids’ confidence (and your own!) by modeling real-world learning
• Tools like open-and-go curriculum, online classes, and skill-sharing with other parents

Whether you’re just starting out or deep in your homeschool journey, this episode will remind you that confidence doesn’t come from knowing it all—it comes from showing up and moving forward.
