Course Description

Students must be enrolled in English Foundations 3 to enroll in this highly recommended but optional add-on. 

The Language Arts Lab is a weekly “virtual hangout” where English Foundations 3 students receive individualized assistance from Mrs. Buchter and collaboration time with peers.

In this weekly session, Mrs. Buchter will work with students to go over any homework or tests, work on grammar, revise rough drafts, and anything else that is needed. We will be able to dive deeper into the concepts taught in class together and have ample time to ask questions and work together on concepts that need extra reinforcement.

This is a great way for students to work on time management before they get to high school. A little accountability goes a long way, and this class will help hold students accountable for getting their work completed and also add that little extra touch of individual help.

We have created Language Arts Labs to give parents an additional option for ensuring their students acquire strong writing and reading comprehension skills for upper-level high school work and learn time management and study skills. This is an optional class for students of English Foundations 3, but it is highly recommended.

Instructor Bio

Penelope Buchter

Penelope Buchter graduated from American University in 2016 with a BA in international studies, and having spent her study abroad learning Chinese immersion at Peking University, promptly headed back to China with the intention to stay a year or two, but stayed almost 8 years! She has an MEd in Educational Technology, and enjoys creating opportunities for students to engage with material in meaningful ways.

Penelope is herself a homeschool graduate who understands the challenges and benefits of being a homeschool student. She has also reaped the benefits of distance learning since high school when she took her first Chinese class online. She is passionate about language, speaking both Chinese and Spanish, and is currently working on an MA in English Literature from the University of Nottingham (distance learning at work again!). If you attempt to engage her in a conversation about languages or literature, settle in for a long conversation, and perhaps cancel your next appointment!

In her time abroad, Penelope has worked with British curriculums (IGCSE) and the International Baccalaureate.  It was also in China where Penelope met her now husband, Paul — another English teacher from the UK, and adopted her two dogs. Penelope, her husband, and son now live in Italy. Contact: pbuchter[at]aimacademy.online
