Mom of Four, Educator, Author, Lifelong Student
Empowering minds, nurturing hearts, and honoring the soul through personalized homeschooling.
Nazlin Rafiq – Your Homeschool Coach
I’m a homeschooling mom of four, navigating the beautiful journey of raising and educating my children in a way that honors their fitrah—their natural inclination towards goodness. Our days are filled with hands-on learning, exploring nature, and nurturing sound hearts and minds through good books and deep conversations.
As a fellow mom, I understand the challenges of juggling it all—balancing homeschooling, household responsibilities, volunteer work, and self-care. I’m right there with you, navigating the joys and struggles of motherhood while striving to create a nurturing learning environment for my children.
My Experience
I hold an MA in Curriculum and Instruction, a BEd, a BA in English Literature and a Mental Health for Teens certification from the University of British Columbia (UBC). Additionally, after studying for ten years at Rabata under the tutelage of Anse Dr. Tamara Gray, I graduated from the Ribaat Academic Institute with an additional Islamic Studies Teacher Certificate. With 20+ years of experience in education, including at the Center of Neuroeducation, I’ve worked with students with diverse learning needs, all while keeping in mind the balance of a child’s emotional and spiritual development.
I’m also the creator and author of Jannah Jewels, an award-winning book series that inspires young readers to connect with their faith and history through engaging adventures. As an author, I’m passionate about creating fun stories that elevate the mind and nurture the soul, empowering the next generation to embrace their identity with confidence.
As a BC Certified Teacher, I spent several years as a classroom teacher in public and private schools, including the Islamic schools in the Greater Vancouver area. I gained invaluable experience teaching children from diverse backgrounds and learning styles during that time. However, I wanted to be present for my children’s early years, guiding their learning journey at home. This decision to homeschool was rooted in my desire to create a personalized, nurturing environment where my children could thrive intellectually, emotionally, and spiritually.
