Teacher friend, is your passion for teaching slowly burning out? Do you envision teaching children with more energy, aliveness, and creativity, but you are ”stuck” conforming to the standardized tests, mandates, and overwhelming policies that just aren’t working? Are you dreaming of freedom, flexibility, and an income that continues to grow exponentially? Have you ever said, ”I should just start my own school”? Wouldn’t it be lovely to teach without unrealistic expectations, endless data collection, meetings, and restrictions? What if you could create your own schedule, curriculum, and class size? Starting your own micro-school or homeschooling business can give you the financial freedom, time freedom, and teaching experiences you are longing for!
Parents, are you frustrated with the experiences your child is having in public or private school? Are you searching for a learning experience that LIGHTS your child up? Are you currently homeschooling but you desire to provide financially for your family and want the two worlds to collide? What if you could continue teaching your child but also make an income while providing educational and enrichment experiences to other children and families? If your child is longing for socialization, interaction, and engaging experiences, a profitable homeschooling business would not only provide financial peace and freedom to your family but provide your child with a wonderful learning opportunity! Learning pods, resource centers, and micro-schools are coming your way!
I’m Makenzie Oliver. After 15 years in public school as a teacher, leader, and instructional coach, I stepped out to create my own school- a private tutoring business turned micro-school! I‘m here to help teachers and parents build a teaching business around the most important aspects of life. For me, this includes motherhood, marriage, and a God-given mission. I help parents and uncover their calling as teachers, build and scale a profitable homeschooling business and or micro-school! You have the potential to run your own business while also making a massive impact!

Ep 387: From Library Meetings to Leading Logos Homeschool Academy: How Jennifer Pinto Built a Homeschool Hybrid in Iowa with Faith and Microschool Masterminds
What does it look like to step out of traditional education and wait on God’s timing to build something completely new?
In this inspiring episode, I sit down with Jennifer Pinto, co-founder of Logos Homeschool Academy in Iowa. After leaving traditional schooling in 2023, Jennifer connected with a like-minded friend—whom she met in the library—and together they launched a homeschool hybrid program rooted in faith, family, and freedom.
With a deep conviction and a clear understanding of Iowa’s homeschool laws, Jennifer and her partner were able to form their LLC and bring their vision to life. But it wasn’t an easy road—Jennifer shares how “knowing her why” carried her through trials and tribulations, keeping her focused on her calling.
As an incredible contributor in our Microschool Masterminds community, Jennifer has embraced coaching, mentorship, and collaboration. From one-on-one coaching to ongoing membership support, she has even budgeted professional development into her monthly finances—a true testament to her dedication to growth, leadership, and sustainability.
Jennifer’s story will inspire you if you’ve ever asked:
How do I start a microschool or homeschool hybrid when I don’t know where to begin?
What role does faith play when the road feels uncertain?
Where can I find a community to walk with me through trials and victories?
Her journey is one of shepherding her calling, waiting on God’s timing, and persevering through seasons of challenge.
✨ Press play to hear Jennifer’s testimony of courage, conviction, and clarity—and discover how Microschool Masterminds can help you grow your own vision into reality.
