Meet your homeschool teacher
I’m Rachel Puleo, a private tutor with extensive one-on-one experience helping homeschoolers and students in Oceanside, NY, and beyond find their stride through personalized, one-on-one support.
My approach
How one-on-one teaching actually works
Personalized homeschool support for families who want more. The Homeschool Helper is the creation of Rachel Puleo, MA Childhood Education, BA Psychology—an experienced educator, entrepreneur, mom, and hospitality-minded problem solver who believes learning should be fun, productive, and genuinely enjoyable for the whole family. I provide one-on-one homeschool teaching, academic support, and regular tutoring, creating a learning experience built around each individual child. Lessons can flex with their interests, learning style, pace, strengths, and goals—while still providing the structure, consistency, and accountability families need. And I keep it intentionally small. I work with only a handful of students each year, so every child gets my full attention, energy, creativity, and care. No crowded classroom. No cookie-cutter curriculum. Just one dedicated educator and a learning experience designed specifically for your child. Whether you’re looking for a full homeschool teaching partner, ongoing tutoring, academic support, enrichment, or simply someone who can bring fresh energy and structure to your child’s school day, T he Homeschool Helper is here to make homeschooling work beautifully for your family. One student. One-on-one attention. One truly personalized education. Maybe you’ll be one of my few special ones. ❤️
