An Educator, a teacher with a different hierarchy than traditional teachers: one who works for the parents of their students, not an educational entity. As a traditionally trained teacher, it takes a paradigm shift and an intentional heart of humility to understand that parents have the primary place of leadership and authority in raising their children and it follows that education is an extension of parenting (even if we, the “trained educator” might know more about methods, have more experience, etc).

Thus, parents are the primary teachers in their home, even if they don’t do the actual academic instruction day to day. Parents administrate, oversee and teach their children. They may hire tutors to assist them to meet their goals or to accommodate their work schedules.
