“The support and cheering in become the best version of a prepared adult I can be for my kiddos; How to have grace and courtesy with myself so I can actually be there for my family; Where to give space for my cup so I can fill my kids cups; learning to schedule my life and organize it all together… all this was possible with The Montessori Teacher Program. Being understood in a cultural level -Latin roots- was super awesome!”
Jessica Jimenez - Mama of 2, Coop Host
“I am so thankful to have joined. My homeschool journey is so much clear and organized. I have everything I need to succeed and help my children succeed in the homeschool journey. Everything has changed: my mindset, my goals, our work cycle, my expectations. I have what I need 1000% YES!”
Jacqueline - Mama of 3 (5, 2 & infant)
“When I started I was so anxious, they were a lot of tears because I thought I wasn't able to do this on my own. Certainly, I needed someone like Lynda and her 1:1 coaching program. Since the first session I started to see changes on my motherhood journey and in myself as a individual. I learned so many things and to be patient with myself. I learned how to follow my child's learning process, I learned how to do observations that's something that has helped me tremendously. I learned that I have to follow my kids not a curriculum. Honestly I thought Montessori was o ly for little kids, but Lynda has teach me that it's possible to do it with bigger kids.”
Lizbeth Andrade - Mama of 4
“before this course I was winging it and just throwing things together with a Montessori inspired feel and loose expectations. Now I feel confident in my planning and have sustainable systems that will last a lifetime. My biggest takeaway and the most surprising is how this course has allowed my to become more aligned with my valued and start operating in them. I am clearer about what matters and have the boundaries and system to support living with my values.”
Kristen Caroll, Mama of 3
“Empecé con un curso de manejo de materiales, me sentía confundida. Cuando me enteré de The Montessori Teacher, por un momento lo dude, pero cuando me inscribí la verdad que valió la pena, como Lynda me dijo en una de nuestras sesiones, la eduación en casa no es tan difícil como la pintan. La secuencia que nos brinda es su trabajo de muchos años, eso no lo encontrarás en ninguna parte. La observación del niño y del adulto, es vital, eso es lo más valioso.”
Monica Asmat, Mama of 2
“Lynda and her well-designed course has imbued me with a high degree of confidence both in the home-schooling of my child and in my parenting. Culturally my decision to home-educate came under critical scrutiny but now I feel very confident and happy with my decision. After the course, quite simply, I know what to do because I have a wonderfully designed roadmap. Linda is easy to work with, and she helped me to feel enthusiastic about my child's learning journey. I enjoyed the way that Linda challenged me and encouraged me to examine why I was doing this.”
Seda Soylu, Mama of 1

Reflect on your ability to be coached—this is something Lynda will assess during your Discovery Call, as your success in the program heavily depends on it. 2️⃣ Have a Learning Space Set Up and Start Your “Deschooling Experiment”: Montessori education begins with understanding your child, not with a curriculum.

“Lynda’s coaching helped my husband and I get on the same page about reorganizing our home life to better support our homeschooling goals...The self discovery we did in the beginning of her coaching united us and helped clarify why each of us did things a certain way and what we valued. Whether you are homeschooling temporarily or forever, her coaching will make a difference in your life. ”
