"Very knowledgeable tutor"
- Student Olivia, Middletown, CT on 1/5/16Carole is doing an excellent job preparing me for studying abroad. I am building my confidence in my speaking skills and refreshing my grammar skills in anticipation of my French studies this semester.
"Patient and kind!"
- Jenny, Sea Cliff, NY on 5/24/16Carole did a beautiful job preparing my daughter for her French exam. She used vocabulary familiar to her, and that enabled her to have a real conversation in French. She was also able to type out sentences to show her if there was an error or misunderstanding. It was great to get the visual of the sentence. We will certainly ask for Carole in the future!
"Very knowlegeable tutor"
- Gabriela, Wethersfield, CT on 3/2/16Carol is a very nice person. She is native french and I think this is a plus in teaching.
My daughter just started the lessons, she is very exited. I'm sure Carol will help her to learn fast the language. She seems very committed in what she is doing.
"Very patient and helpful."
- Alexander, Simsbury, CT on 6/16/15She is very patient and helpful. My goal is to improve my speaking ability for a trip to France. Since she is knowledgeable about the area to be visited, she has make some excellent recommendations as well.
"Enthusiastic fun and great tutor for any age"
- Anna, Avon, CT on 3/19/15I always look forward to my lessons with Carole. She is bubbly and enthusiastic but also encourages me to improve. She corrects gently but doesn't let things slide. She explains things and gives a lot of 'inside', 'native' insights into the French language. She certainly makes learning fun and painless!
"My Best Tutor"
- Del, Glastonbury, CT on 9/5/14Carole explains so many of the exceptions in the French language. As I mentioned to her, French would be easier if it weren't for all the exceptions. She is patient and corrects all my errors in pronunciations. I feel I have made much progress working with her.
"Excellent tutor"
- Mary Beth, Litchfield, CT on 7/10/14My son started working with Carole last month. We have been extremely satisfied with her kind assistance. She is very patient and has a wonderful sense of humor. She will provide tutoring in person and will also supplement with Skype sessions. Carole has been very professional and accommodating. I highly recommend her!
"Gives skype lesson option and weekly feedback."
- Julia, Middletown, CT on 11/22/13My daughter and her friend began French lessons a few months ago, when they were 11 years old. Carole had offered us the option to have 30-min Skype lessons a few times a month and a 1-hour on-ground face-to-face meeting once a month. This arrangement has been working well for us. The two girls have no problem communicating with the teacher when they have their Skype lesson. They understand what the teacher says and if they need to see something in writing Carole types it for them.
At the end of each lesson, either it is via Skype or on-ground, Carole emails the parents a summary of what was covered during the lesson. I find this helpful, as I can talk with my daughter about her French homework and point to specific concepts that need to be studied further.
"Wonderful, gifted teacher."
- Elizabeth, Glastonbury, CT on 8/28/13Carole spent the summer of 2013 helping my 16 year old son advance through a year of French. He looked forward to and enjoyed every session, and completed all the requirements well before the end of summer. Carole spent the remainder of the sessions conversing and reading with him, to improve his vocabulary and fluency. Extremely reliable and professional. I recommend her highly.
"Great Tutor - The Best"
- Kathy, Bristol, CT on 12/18/12If you want to learn French with a Native speaker who is full of life and friendly - Carole is the one! She is just so full of knowledge and has really mastered her language and can explain anything you wish to know or understand. Just listening to her speak French is enough to motivate anyone to really do their studies. I would recommend her to anyone from ages 5 to 100+.
"Excellent tutor!"
- John, South Windsor, CT on 3/22/12For those looking for any level of French tutoring, I would highly recommend Carole. As Carole grew up in France, she brings a wonderful perspective on cultural nuances as well as the geographical differences in the French language. She has an excellent grasp on the technical aspects of the language as well as the colloquial aspects. Carole is very pleasant to work with; is patient with the learning process as well as with the explanations often needed; is flexible and is consistently supportive throughout your progress. Beyond simply teaching from an instructional guide, Carole also tries to identify other ways to increase exposure to the French language including a book club she runs, magazines, internet sites, radio links, and other such modalities. If you ever want to consider learning French, I would highly recommend you contact Carole.
