Evaluation-by-mail

I'm starting to get more "evaluation-by-mail" clients, and that's wonderful! It's great to see what folks in other areas of New Hampshire are doing. If you'd like to send me your portfolio, here's what you need to do:

  1. Contact me to make an appointment. This will ensure that your portfolio won't sit in the rain for a week waiting for me to return from vacation... and that when I sit down to write up your evaluation I'll be able to reach you.

  2. Assemble your portfolio as usual... but maybe take a picture of the more three-dimensional projects? If (one of) the evaluation(s) is for a high school student, please remember to complete a portfolio plan form for their portfolio.

  3. Print out a Portfolio Information Sheet and mailing label to go with it.

  4. Fill out the Information Sheet. It's just basic questions that I'd ask you if we were sitting in my kitchen.

  5. Write a check, made out to Bethany Barnosky, for the appropriate payment. (Remember to include the extra $10 for mail service.) Online payment is fine as well.

  6. Box everything up, add the outgoing mailing label, and head to your local post office!

  7. Buy return postage (stamps) for your package before you seal it up... toss them inside, seal, mail, and you're done.
All "Evaluations-by-Mail" are Standard unless we've made other arrangements.

I really try to offer a quick turn-around and will get your portfolio mailed back to you within two or three business days of your appointment. If you'd prefer to send it media mail (cheap but slow) and have me mail your evaluation(s) separately in an envelope, just let me know on your Information Sheet.

Please note: I am a real homeschool mom -- with a family, a dog, and the occassional glass of milk. I cannot be held responsible if "life" happens to your portfolio. I've never had a problem, and I try to take excellent care of your things, but accidents do happen.
Please don't send me irreplaceable items. Photocopies are encouraged.

If you send me your portfolio and it's damaged,
you're officially agreeing not to hold me liable.
Thanks!
