Our Homeschool Evaluators

FL law requires homeschool families to do a yearly evaluation. The evaluation has to be conducted by a certified teacher. The following individuals are members of our group, and they have indicated a desire to provide this service to our members.  

This list is a courtesy to them and does not constitute a recommendation. You are strongly encouraged to interview any prospective evaluators and to verify certification prior to hiring anyone to conduct an evaluation.

To verify current certification go to: http://www.fldoe.org/edcert/public.asp

Kelly Jimenez:  My most important role is a wife, to my husband Malachi, and mother to our children, Kaily Rose and Micah.  After teaching for 12 years in the public-school system, I retired when our first child was born, but continue to hold a valid teaching certificate, which I use to evaluate homeschoolers.   I have a Bachelor of Science in Specific Learning Disabilities.  I also have an ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) endorsement.  I’ve been homeschooling since 2009.  I believe that God has created each child uniquely, with certain strengths and weaknesses, and a specific purpose for his/her life.   With that in mind, I will look at your child’s portfolio, listen to any concerns, and try to answer any questions that you may have.   My strengths are in behavior management, and I have a passion for discovering each child’s specific learning style and purpose.  I live off Midway and Selvitz road and can be reached at mkjimenez@bellsouth.net.

Dulce Juan: I'm a wife, mommy, and teacher, but the best title I've been freely given is daughter of the King. I hold a bachelor's in Elementary Education, and have 6+ years of experience from almost every grade level up to eighth grade. I also have tutoring experience in SAT prep, reading, and math. I became a stay at home mom 5 years ago when my daughter was 9 months old. During this time, I went back to work for half of a school year at a private school. I love working with children and enjoy time with them. When I do my evaluations, I'm looking for progress. It's a casual and comfortable experience. I look at your child's work they've done throughout the year and I converse with the parent and student/s regarding their school year. We discuss needs and we can make a goal together for the next year, if that is something you and your child are interested in. We can create a list of areas to work on for your next school year together. I'm always willing to work with parents to provide what you need for your child's evaluation.
