We live in a state where it is legal to hire a private teacher to homeschool your children and we are seriously considering it.

Does anyone have personal experience with this? Resources? Advice? I'd love feedback from those that have some knowledge/experience with this style of homeschooling.

Pros/Cons. Logistics. Oversight [quality control]. Expectations.

Ideally, we want someone capable of teaching using a strong visual-spatial [big picture, top-down] approach. Someone capable of limiting the amount of auditory/sequential instruction.

Thoughts? Advice? Resources?
