Everything on this site is free, and it always will be. But sometimes you don't want another resource — you want a teacher to sit down with your family, set things up, create materials for your kids, or teach them directly. That's what this page is for. I'm Brian Carlson: a certified elementary teacher with a master's degree in education and ten years in K–5 classrooms.
Text CALL to 708-317-8828 See the packages
Start with a free 15-minute call. No pressure and no obligation — if a package isn't right for your family, I'll point you to the free resources instead.
Four kinds of one-on-one work, all done by a real teacher — never raw AI output handed over unchecked.
We set up your AI tools together and build your first prompts around your children's ages, subjects, and curriculum — plus a simple weekly planning routine you can actually keep up.
Unit studies, weekly lesson plans, reading lists, and prompt packs — created for your family, around your kids' ages and interests, and checked by a teacher before they reach you. You get finished materials, not homework.
Live online one-on-one sessions for K–5 — reading, math, and writing — with a certified teacher who learns how your child thinks and adjusts as we go.
Portfolio and records systems without the end-of-year scramble, help understanding your state's homeschool requirements, and a calm plan for your year, term, or week.
The resources on this site stay free forever. These paid options are for families who want my time directly — and every one of them starts with the free call.
We talk through what your family actually needs. If one of the packages fits, we'll say so together. If it doesn't, I'll point you to the free resources that will help most. Call or text 708-317-8828 — or text the word CALL to that number and I'll get back to you.
One focused session together: we set up your AI tools, build your first prompts around your children's ages and subjects, and leave you with a simple weekly planning routine you can actually keep up.
The full build, over several sessions: your complete family AI system — planning workflow, personal prompt library, and records organizer — set up, tested, and checked by a teacher, including materials created for your family, with follow-up help while you settle in.
My time, by the hour: live one-on-one teaching for your child, or creating custom materials for your family — a unit study, a term plan, a prompt pack built around your kids. We decide together on the free call what your hours would produce.
How it works: 1. Text CALL for your free 15-minute call. 2. We choose a package together — only if it fits. 3. We meet by phone or video, and I build, create, or teach. 4. You get finished work and simple follow-up. We arrange payment simply on the call before we start — no surprise charges, ever.
