Homeschool
Home is where the school is.
Here are a few ways you can use Shmoop if you’re a homeschool teacher:
Homeschool Strategies
We'll answer all your questions: everything from "what's with the stigma?" to "how do I get my student a transcript?" With loads of tips, tricks, and advice, you'll be a homeschool pro in no time.
Online Courses
Your students can interact with Shmoop’s Online Courses, which means all you need to do is grade their work and give ‘em a nudge when they get cranky...which they won’t because it’s Shmoop. These courses provide full curriculum—including intros, readings, activities, quizzes, and more—and allow you to manage your students’ progress with Shmoop’s gradebook. We’ve got hundreds of courses to choose from, from 7th Grade Math to Bruce Springsteen’s America. And check it: they’re all aligned to curriculum standards.
Test Prep
If your students are preparing for standardized tests, Shmoop is the place to be. From AP exams to SAT Subject Tests to the classics (PSAT, SAT, and ACT, oh my!), our Test Prep products cost a fraction of the price of a book or a tutor—and they have way more swag. Your students can work through the review, drills, and exams on their own, or you can work on it in class together. And, of course, you can always track their progress through our nifty online Classrooms feature.
Teaching Guides
If you’re not a fan of screens in school, our premium literature, history, economics, and civics Teaching Guides provide you with loads of in-class activity ideas, discussion and essay questions, current events and pop culture, and much more.
Study Guides
Looking for free resources? Our Study Guides can help you and your students. The in-depth analysis will inspire your awesome ideas and your students will be able to review to their hearts’ content. We have thousands of learning guides, covering every subject known to Shmoop: math, science, ELA, social studies, and beyond.
Study Tools
And whatever path you choose, make sure you have your Shmoopers use our free Study Tools: Essay Lab, Math Shack, and Flashcards.

Courses
If you’re a parent teaching one child or a small group of children, we’ve got you covered when it comes to course material. You can buy Shmoop’s courses for yourself and your students, allowing them to interface with Shmoop and allowing you to track their progress; or you can buy the material just for yourself and use it however you’d like.
Test Prep
Why pay thousands of dollars for a private tutor or course when you can Shmoop your way to Test Prep success? Each of our Test Prep resources includes in-depth reviews, diagnostic exams, full-length practice exams, and more drills than you could imagine. All with the fun Shmoop ‘tude.
Study Guides
Whether you need to brush up on your Biology or you want your child to think more deeply about the symbols in Dickens, Shmoop’s on it. Our free study guides cover every topic you’ll want to teach—and then some (we’re looking at you, Dr. Seuss).
Study Tools
Practice makes perfect, and our study tools are practically perfect. Essay Lab will help your child craft any type of essay; flashcards will keep them up on their facts; and Math Shack offers infinite math drills at all levels to keep them on top of the Common Core concepts.
Teaching Guides
Our Teaching Guides will give you all the ideas you need to make your at-home classroom exactly what you want.
Common Core
There’s no such thing as a get-out-of-Common-Core-free pass. Homeschoolers have to keep up with the Standards, too, but you can use Shmoop’s resources to understand them and assess how your students are doing.
