What is it and What do I do?

The Potter's School originally started with one homeschool mom meeting online a few days a week with kids needing help in math.  Over the years, it exploded into a multi-cultural, international, technologically advanced online school for kids all over the world.  Although an online school, we have built a community of devoted families, instructors, and staff all striving to help parents educate and train their children.  Please visit The Potter's School homepage for further course information and offerings for your family.

Next year I will be teaching:

Writer's Workshop- Introduction to writing, geared towards the youngest students Potter's School accepts.  Typically this is 6th grade level, but I am willing and open to accepting students of different ages and levels on a case-by-case basis. 

English II-  This course focuses on different essay styles and thesis writing.  Poetry, literature, and fiction writing are also included in the course.  English II will challenge the writer to think differently about their own writing and the writings of their peers.  In-depth conferencing is given to each piece by the instructor (yours truly) and classmates.
