You don't have to have all the skills. Just find good curriculum. The kids learn to teach themselves and by being in a home school group they have extra resources of people with other skills and experience. We actually did a combination of public (with a transfer), private and some home school. My son is way beyond me, I would provide him resources and a starting point and he would go from there. A guy I've been warning about the schools for years and he kept just dismissing me pretty aggressively is now upset as his youngest daughter is a teen who has been "masculinized" by the pressure to be or appear to be trans. His older kids have been a little tweaked but are full adults now and aren't as tweaked as the current crop is getting. Look at the eyes of a home schooled kid and have a conversation with them, they are bright eyed, curious and generally polite; public school = dead eyes, self mutilation, self loathing, angry and hostile. PS: Classical Conversations looks like a really good way to go with home school curriculum and group learning once a week. If I was starting over now, that's what I would do.
