Reviews
“I have never liked writing, but Ms Miller made me realize that maybe writing wasn’t the issue rather what I was writing about and possibly the writing styles of other teachers is what I didn’t like. She is very understanding and patient, if you’re struggling or stuck she’s there to help you work through it. The topics she has you write about she helps you connect with your own perspective, and makes class personal.”
-Stefany S.
Write Blogs or Stories and Build a Website: Creative Writing 101
“Seriously great camp! My 11 year old son enjoys writing, but I still wasn’t quite sure how 6 classes in the summer where he was going to have to write would turn out when I signed him up. However, he absolutely LOVED this camp. In fact, we can barely get him to go to bed because he’s busy writing. So, as a parent, getting kids enthusiastic about writing, in my mind, is a total success! Ms. Miller was really great with the kids and walking kids virtually through setting up a blogging site is amazing. Probably one of the coolest camps he’s ever done. Looking into signing up for the next-level blogging camp with Ms. Miller!!”

Write Blogs or Stories and Build a Website: Creative Writing 101
“Katelyn Miller’s classes has become a go to in our home learning. The moment we are done with one class, we enroll in the next. Her encouraging approach not only opens up my child for excellent education but builds a confidence and success. Perfect classes for any child interested.”
-Angela W.
Let’s Make a Short Movie: Video Editing 101
“My 12-year old daughter LOVED this class for three main reasons: (1) the teacher is really kind, (2) there were no ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ answers; she was allowed to discuss her opinion and learn different ways to see something, (3) the topic was interesting! I highly recommend this teacher and class.”
