Lessons with Carolyn are really helping me!I have studied with Carolyn since July 2023 and I really enjoy each lesson. Carolyn is a professional! And our lessons are interesting and dynamic.We study different parts of life, for example, recently she helped me fix up my CV and I got a job! Before she teached me 'small talk' and now I can keep a conversation going. So, guys, her lessons for real life! I appreciate it! Thank you so much, Carolyn! And RECOMMENDED!

Carolyn was professional and helpful. She showed me where and how to improve what I would like to improve in my pronunciation and speech pathology. She provided various sources for self-learning as well. I would strongly recommend her for anyone who needs advanced ESL skill improvement.

I worked with Carolyn to help me become clearer when I speak english. It was a real pleasure, and, more importantly, very useful! Before I took the classes, I was facing situations when people couldn't understand me, but I couldn't understand why. She helped me identify my mistakes, understand the difference between french and american english sounds (stupid as it sounds, there was a lot of differences I was not aware of after 30 years of learnign english), and provide me a lot of material and recommendation to keep on improving. I would strongly recommend Carolyn for anybody interested in improving his/her english skills since she was exactly the person I needed to help me.

She is the best teacher for me. I am very pleased with her. She taught me grammar and conversation practice. She will find an approach to each person. It is very interesting and easy to learn English with her.

After recently spending 6 months in France, I returned to NY with a passion and commitment to continue improving my French. I enrolled in Alliance Francaise, and despite my efforts, I was finding it difficult to apply the rote grammar learning to real-time, everyday French conversation. So, I decided to find a tutor to help fill the gaps. What I like abut Carolyn is that she adapts her training to meet your needs. We have found the right balance of grammar lessons, listening exercising, and speaking corrections. She doesn't adapt a one size fits all approach, and it works.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I have an hourly rate for weekly or occasional lessons, and a discounted rate for a series of 10 lessons, to be paid in advance or on an agreed-upon schedule. My rate for tutoring at your place or neighborhood may be higher than tutoring near me or online, depending on distance.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I like to start with a brief meeting (online since Covid). If the customer hires me, I begin the process by getting to know the person and finding out what he/she wants from tutoring and getting a sense of how to work together. I also listen for what language needs the person has, and I start planning. I try to make it clear that we are partners in the learning process, and always welcome questions and requests.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have advanced degrees in English and Education and additional qualification courses in English (honours specialist) and ESL (specialist) from the Ontario Ministry of Education. I received on-the-job training in Adult Literacy, and have been an instructor myself at the University of Toronto and York University. I have also given conference presentations on effective tutoring.
