Angelique Carpenter, Western NC, angelique@smarttesting.net, (828)-301-1662
Angelique and her family moved to Western North Carolina in 1998 and currently live in Clyde, NC. She opened their homeschool in January of 2000 and has taught her six children K-12, with her youngest currently in high school. Angelique has experience working with dyslexic learners and she firmly believes that each student has their own unique learning style, academic path, and interests.
When Angelique and her family moved to Western North Carolina, she connected with the growing local homeschool community and has been active in local co-ops, teaching K-12 classes, for many years. For the past twelve years, she has taught a high school literature class. She is an active volunteer with the Haywood county 4-H and has assisted with various programs such as Shooting Sports, Sewing, Electric Program and Photography. She is also very active in her church where she has been involved in teaching Sunday School classes as well as training youth to serve on the media and sound team.
She has guided her oldest five children through dual enrollment in the NC community college system and transitioning to college programs and universities. She enjoys consulting with homeschool families to help them navigate homeschooling options and make educational plans for the coming year.
After trying other tests, Angelique found that the Woodcock-Johnson Test administered by SMART was by far the most beneficial for her children. It was a test that her children enjoyed and only took a couple of hours to finish. The immediate results and detailed feedback from the test administrator was very helpful in planning out the next academic year. These yearly consults revealed several insights on her children’s learning styles and needs.
Angelique graduated from the University of Idaho with a BA in French and Economics. She was able to participate in two study abroad programs at French Universities. Her husband, Doug, was an officer in the US Army and they were stationed in Arizona, New York and the country of Panama. She was introduced to homeschooling while living in Panama for three years and became intrigued with the idea as she learned more about it. As her children started to become old enough to start school, Angelique realized that the flexibility of homeschooling would be the best option for all of her children and their learning styles.

TESTIMONIALS
"We won a drawing for a free test. This information is invaluable! I'm so grateful we had this opportunity to assess where my daughter is, where to focus added energy in areas of deficiency and celebrate areas of over-competency. It was an incredibly helpful experience! We will have our other children tested. Thanks SO much!!"

"My daughter's Woodcock-Johnson test and the subsequent evaluation with Angelique were extremely helpful, and I'm so glad we went this route. I found the evaluation session afterwards particularly invaluable. Angelique offered beneficial insights into the curriculum we should be using and what approach I should take on certain subjects, and she solved a couple of problems in my home school during our session! She helped me to understand how my daughter was doing academically, and I was so grateful to hear her insight and experience. My daughter felt comfortable working with her during the test and enjoyed picking out a prize afterwards. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and I can't wait until next year! It was such a fantastic opportunity to sit down and review the results with Angelique afterwards. She was so helpful! She interpreted the results for me clearly and then gave me additional recommendations and a roadmap for approaching certain subjects next year. 10/10 recommend all homeschooling parents have this kind of opportunity and consultation! I feel so prepared for the year ahead after this session and have a clear understanding of my daughter's academic achievement this year. An all-around awesome experience. I am extremely grateful that you offer this service, and made the whole process easy!!" ~Natalie I.
"I wanted to outsource testing this year, and I trusted Angelique to do an excellent, comprehensive job! She was very helpful and professional in all her communications. My children actually enjoyed testing for the first time ever! The feedback was very helpful in guiding me to find specific supports for my children’s strengths and weaknesses." ~Karen O.
“My son told me on the way home that he has been nervous for 3 weeks about the test. He said it was so laid back and she was so nice! Way better than those school tests.”- Angela C.
"Angelique is very prompt and accommodating. She has a very calm nature, which helps ease any tension the parent/guardian and the student may be feeling. Her home and testing environment are very inviting as well. She explains everything very clearly and gives great feedback. She was very patient while listening to me chatter away as well! She would have taken as long as I needed. I did not feel rushed at all. I really like all of the detail included in the full report because the information is tailored to the specific student’s needs." - Christina P.
"Angelique was very professional but also very kind and understood my child's needs. My child was able to come out and see me when she got overwhelmed, and Angelique helped answer all of our questions." - Kelcey F.
