Why I’m Changing Direction: My Journey from Homeschool Blogger to English Mentor

For years, I’ve shared with others my homeschooling journey, but my focus has increasingly shifted from general education to the English language.  Language arts has long been near and dear to me; I graduated at the top of my class with a bachelor of arts in English and a minor in education and went on to teach public high school English for several years.  Always a proponent of lifelong education, I also graduated with honors from law school when I was in my early 30’s.  The last few years, I have spent my days homeschooling my own children.

Now I’m returning to my roots and renewing my teacher certification with an intent to guide students toward high-level mastery of the English language.  My goal is to provide intensive online grammar and vocabulary/morphology instruction for middle school and high school students, particularly for those bound for college.  Starting in June, I plan to hold group bootcamps, intensives, and masterclasses on Outschool, but I am also available for one-on-one tutoring.  I am eager to assist all students, from struggling learners to high achievers.  My goal is for students to leave my classes not just with good grammar but with a more authoritative voice.

I believe that a mastery of language arts is the centerpiece of a well-rounded education, and thus I am establishing this site to mentor students in this critical subject area.  I am available for homeschooled students as well as for students attending public or private school.

Never stop learning,
Erin
