The approach
Taught the way it’s done in England.
Edu-K’s teaching is led by founder Karuna Shah, who trained and qualified as a teacher in England — a degree, then supervised classroom training and assessment, not a short certificate. Every educator on the team trains under her, to that standard.
Qualified Teacher Status is England’s license to teach: an undergraduate degree, then a supervised training year assessed against national standards in real classrooms. It is why every Edu-K plan begins with an assessment, runs to a written scheme of work, and is held to a fixed standard rather than ‘progress at any pace’.
Assess first
Every student starts with a proper assessment — where they are, where the gaps are — before a single lesson is planned.
A real plan
A written plan, mapped to your child’s schoolwork and their week. Reviewed and adjusted as they progress, not set once and forgotten.
Hold the standard
High expectations, calmly held. We don’t rush a child through, and we don’t let one drift. Families who’ve tried everything else stay for this.
Since 2005
Twenty years of the same standard.
Edu-K has served Orange County families since 2005 — homeschoolers, student-athletes, and children on a different schedule. The offer has grown; the standard hasn’t moved.
What does “British-led” mean?
Our teaching is led by founder Karuna Shah, who holds Qualified Teacher Status from England — an undergraduate degree plus a supervised training year, assessed against national standards in real classrooms. It is a license to teach, not a short online certificate, and every educator on the team trains under her to that standard: assessment before instruction, a written scheme of work, and a fixed standard rather than ‘progress at any pace’.
Will my child work with the same educator each week?
Yes. A Master Educator does every initial assessment and owns the plan; a named educator delivers the weekly sessions. You choose the mix, and the Master Educator reviews progress throughout.
Does a lower educator tier mean a lesser education?
No. The tier is matched to the work — an Educator running spelling practice or subject drills is the right person for that hour. Every student’s plan is still set and checked by a Master Educator.
Start with a free consultation.
A 30-minute conversation and a short skills check with a Master Educator. You leave knowing where your child stands and what a plan would look like — at no cost. Places are limited.
