It’s never too late. I have several friends who started around middle school, and one who started in 10th grade.
I started with 3rd grade.
I never thought I could do it, I didn’t think I had the personality for it. But I gave it 6 months and by the end both my son and I were sold on it, and much happier than we’d ever been. It was SO MUCH easier than having him in public school for a lot of reasons I won’t go into.
Anyway, I think of myself as less than a teacher but as a learning coach. My boys learn on their own, and I supervise and step in whenever anyone gets stuck. We’ve also done outside programs and co-ops for subjects just for some variety.

WOW! Is that the truth!
I sure couldn’t have taught Latin or Algebra!
