Agent Story — online creative writing courses for young writers
Taught by Laura Thomas, a freelance writer, teacher-trainer and professional children's storyteller. As Agent Story, Laura leads children on theme-based, interactive storytelling missions that encourage the practice of storytelling at home and in the classroom.
The online courses for home learners (during the school year during school hours) include the following: Level 1 is an introduction to creative writing from a professional writer's point of view, and Level 2 is a short story course in which students work on a single story for eight weeks and then, with Laura's guidance, submit it to an appropriate magazine.
Laura also trains and mentors teachers of all kinds at conferences and in her online classroom, and provides curriculum development services to a variety of organizations.

Jane Freeman — drawing lessons — Orleans, Ottawa East, Navan and Cumberland areas
Jane Freeman is a graduate of the Ontario College of Art and Design, and Lakeshore Teacher's College. She offers Private Drawing Lessons for children and adults, designed for the student's individual interests and abilities. Lessons are available to families living in the areas around Orleans, Ottawa East, Navan, and Cumberland, and are given in the student's home.
"Because this is a skill that requires concentration, I would ask that only students who truly wish to learn to draw take the course. My method of teaching is very much a one-on-one approach. I believe that people expand their creative thinking when given personal guidance and encouragement. This especially applies to those who really want to learn to draw, but feel they don't have the 'talent'."
Subjects include: perspective, illustration, drawing for projects and cards, cartooning, faces, figures, and more.
Cost is: $35.00 for 1.25 hours, for one student; $40.00 for two; ... up to $75.00 for 6 students. Group size is limited to 6 students of similar age and interests.
