Curriculum that fits your child
We compare options by learning needs, values, format, and budget, then recommend what fits.
About September
Homeschooling with a clear plan and people who care
Our mission
Every parent deserves the tools to teach with confidence.
Between us, we have spent decades tutoring, homeschooling, and advising thousands of families. The families who thrived had three things: a plan that fit their child, a schedule that fit their life, and paperwork that stayed handled. September brings all three to every family.
What we do
Learning, compliance, and records, together
Syllabi and weekly plans
We turn your chosen curriculum into subject syllabi and printable weekly lessons.
A schedule shaped by your life
We set the workload around your time, then help you revise it when life changes.
State requirements handled
We prepare supported forms, track deadlines, total attendance, and organize records.
Who we are
Educators who build what families need
September is led by educators who have each spent their careers proving that personalized education changes lives.
Tiffany Sorya
Founder & CEO, Novel Education Group
Tiffany's conviction that great students are made began with her own story. A first-generation college student, she struggled through her freshman year, then built the study skills that carried her to graduation and became her life's work.
She founded Novel Education Group in 2014 and has spent more than a decade guiding K-12 families through personalized homeschooling. Her approach builds school around each child's passions and pace, often in about fifteen focused hours a week, so learning fits the family instead of the other way around.
Scott Doty
Founder & CEO, BrainStorm Tutoring
Scott founded BrainStorm Tutoring in 2006 and grew it into a team of more than fifty academic coaches serving students around the world, rated the best tutoring company in Bergen County, New Jersey for eight straight years.
A Tufts University graduate, Mensa member, and author of the Dominate the SAT & ACT guides, Scott has taught test prep on five continents. As a homeschool advocate, he champions technology that clears away the logistics so parents can focus on their child's unique genius.

Thomas Meli
Test Prep Educator · Technology Lead
Thomas has taught one-on-one since 2006 and built a private test prep practice where his personalized approach has helped hundreds of students raise SAT scores and win admission to top colleges, including Harvard, with full-tuition scholarships.
A homeschool advocate and software developer, he leads September's technology and has spent the last several years building AI-powered personalized learning tools. He believes families who teach at home deserve the same quality of guidance his private students receive.
What we believe
The convictions behind September
Learning is personal
Every child learns in their own way and at their own pace. A plan built around one specific child will always serve them better than a plan built for an average.
Great students are made
Study skills, focus, and confidence are learnable. With clear structure and steady encouragement, every child can become a strong, curious learner.
Parents are capable teachers
With the right plan, clear state guidance, and organized records, parents can deliver an education that rivals any classroom.
