Hello. This is Rebecca Kochenderfer from Homeschool.com. Thank you for your interest in becoming a Product Tester for Homeschool.com.  Testers are selected randomly, based on geography, age of children, etc. Not every family will be selected.

The Product Tester program is very win-win. Homeschoolers receive free products. Homeschooled kids get to know that their opinion counts. Parents like it that the kids have to write up the reviews. And educational companies get feedback on their products.

Here’s how it works:

·         I send you an email telling you that a company has contacted us and telling you what type of product testers they are looking for – grade level, age range, etc.

·         I tell you who to contact at that company and you take it from there.

·         You test their products and you give the company your feedback.

·         It’s that simple!

Most of the products we are asked to test are online versions of a company’s curriculum or product. This is because they can get far more testers for a free online version than they can by mailing out physical product that costs them money.

But being a Homeschool.com Product Tester is about more than just receiving free products. Product Testers are the heart of Homeschool.com. It’s the Product Testers who select the Top 100 Educational Websites of the year. It’s the Product Testers who helped me write our new book, “Homeschooling and Loving It!”  Whenever we have a new Homeschool.com product or feature I send it to our Product Testers for their feedback and suggestion, before we release it to the public. I have a special relationship with Homeschool.com Product Testers that I deeply value and appreciate.

Thank you for becoming a Homeschool.com product Tester. I look forward to working with you!

Kind regards,
Rebecca Kochenderfer
