CAROLE

Experienced Tutor and Certified College Adviser

I have been teaching at the secondary and undergraduate levels for 17 years. As a teacher of Spanish, I have not only an excellent command of the Spanish language, but also a great deal of cultural knowledge. I lived in Chile in South America for 18 years and in Spain for four. I have traveled throughout Latin America and Spain and consequently I make my classes come alive with real life experiences. I believe that all language classes should include as much authentic material as possible...

Spanish


Debbie M. from Towaco, NJ

Carole is a great tutor. My only regret is that I didn't find her earlier in the year. My son feels he learned more in one hour than in a month at school.


Nancy S. from Livingston, NJ

Carole is a wonderful tutor, and a great person. I am learning, and enjoying the lessons. I wish I found her earlier.


Farah L. from Fort Lee, NJ

Carole is the best tutor you can wish to have. She is a caring and patient person. She is very knowledgeable and a great teacher. My daughter learned a great deal with Carole.


Courtney S. from Montclair, NJ

Carole is a fantastic, encouraging, and dedicated tutor that truly goes above and beyond for her students. I would recommend her to anyone, at any level. I have taken over 12 years of Spanish with many different teachers and Carole is by far the best language instructor I have ever had. She makes everything make sense.


Steven I. from Chatham, NJ

Carole is a great tutor. She is flexible in scheduling and really works hard to be available when needed for the student. She knows high school Spanish levels very well and can anticipate the class teacher lesson plan. And she does extra things like providing supplemental materials as needed and reviewing written assignments by email. She creates a very comfortable relationship with the student to make the sessions very effective. She really improved my child's performance.


Brian L. from Westfield, NJ

"Dear Senora Carole, The best thing about you is that you are a good teacher. Your teaching style is great because you have a good voice and you are creative. You also encourage me to learn how to speak Spanish. Thanks a lot!"


Shanthi R. from Scotch Plains, NJ

Carole has a wonderful rapport with people, especially children. Her ability to connect with my daughter and her talent at teaching simple concepts, as well as more advanced topics, are both truly superior. My daughter tells me that Carole goes step by step to figure out where she is having trouble, makes sure she gets to the root of the issue and then figures out the solution all the while valuing my daughter's input. I can see that Carole understands the pitfalls that come with a non-native child learning Spanish. She tutors on all forms of the language including reading, writing and focuses greatly on speaking. She does a great job with teaching grammar and pronunciation needed to learn the language. She provides supplemental materials to enhance the speaking and listening skills and these have greatly helped my daughter. She is very knowledgeable in the test taking methods that helps my daughter a great deal in exam prep. Carole has excellent communication skills, is extremely organized and very reliable. She is very easy to talk to and has a very positive demeanor. My daughter always looks forward to seeing her.


Cheryl B. from Denville, NJ

Carole is a great tutor, very patient and thorough. She was flexible in her availability, allowing for extra sessions for the final exam. My son liked working with her, she reviewed written assignments by email, and was available for questions. I wish we had found her earlier in the school year!


Leony D. from Paramus, NJ

Carole is very detailed when it comes to tutoring. She makes sure my daughter understands the lesson and can do it on her own. She's a very good teacher with a great personality.


Lisa T. from New York, NY

There was no wasted time once Carole sat down with my son. She was able to assess where he was at and the areas he needed to work on. They got right to work and I was impressed by how much Carole was able to get done with him in their first session. By the end of the session they had printed out a set of vocab flashcards, gone over an old test, and worked on his homework. She was very upbeat and very positive.


Cathy B. from Montclair, NJ

Preparing for a trip to Ecuador and unimpressed with my Spanish 2 teacher at college, I hired Carole to work with me and what a great decision that was. she is always prepared, her explanations are clear and thorough. She helps with homework, and also helps me integrate the material by having conversations on relevant topics. she has set up on-line flash cards for me on her own time, which are so helpful. I had originally worried that she might be more used to dealing with children, but she works at an adult level pretty much perfectly. I am now getting an A in my class, feel much more prepared for my trip and really look forward to my lessons with Carole.


Beth C. from Glen Ridge, NJ

Carole is one of the best tutors I have ever hired for my children. She is positive, flexible, and has been extremely helpful in helping my children understand Spanish. I am so glad that I took the chance and hired her through Wyzant!


Sharon K. from South Orange, NJ

In one word: FABULOUS! My son is 4 years behind on Spanish and thanks to Carole he feels much more comfortable in class, got some great grades, which was an immediate confidence boost. Carole is wonderful with him, patient, sweet, extremely professional, always on time and has a fun and effective way of teaching the language. Born to teach!


Ranjeet B. from Butler, NJ

One lesson before the midterm helped my junior improve his scores. Very quick to grasp his problems and tackle his weakness.


Anthony H. from Bayside, NY

I needed someone to proofread my medical school personal statement, and so I reached out to Carole through WyzAnt. She responded very quickly to my message for help, and we got started right away. After she read through my essay (which I thought was perfect), she quickly pointed out many flaws, and suggested ways which they could be corrected. What I really liked however, was that not only was she a patient tutor, but she listened to what I wanted to do rather than what she wanted. I would highly recommend her to anyone that is looking to correct or improve their writing, I don't think my essay would have come out this good with anyone else.


Michael L. from New York, NY

Although I have only had Carole for a couple of classes, she has taught me so much about Spanish and has increased my knowledge a ton! She is very patient and reviewed the material until I understood it. Her schedule was very flexible to my needs, which was very important in my circumstance. She honestly has taught me a year worth of Spanish in just 2 short classes. Thank you for your help!


Nadya A. from Springfield, NJ

Carole is really great! Very enthusiastic and easy to work with. I wish I still lived in NJ so I could continue with her.


Marilyn P. from Summit, NJ

Carole was absolutely terrific. She was helpful and knowledgeable, as well as patient and persistent in the tutoring. She gave the student the needed confidence to overcome his past experience with the language and succeed in passing the course with a good grade. Mission accomplished!


Miriam R. from Livingston, NJ

Carole was instrumental in helping my daughter organize her thoughts for her college essay. She patiently explained the steps for the Common App and reduced a lot of college application anxiety in our household. A fantastic college counselor!


Debbie B. from Tenafly, NJ

Carol works well with my son. She has a great understanding of the Spanish curriculum. She is able to determine Josh's weak areas and focus on those, which is very helpful. Carol is a knowledgeable and kind tutor.


David G. from Madison, NJ

Carole was an immensely valuable asset and was one of the primary reasons why I was able to pass Spanish 201 at university. She has an extensive collection of tools at her disposal and was knowledgeable of both Spanish grammar and vocabulary. I had a two year gap where I didn't practice Spanish at all but Carole was able to hop in and teach me three semesters of Spanish in only one semester!


Nilanjana B. from Butler, NJ

One lesson before the midterm helped my junior improve his scores. Very quick to grasp his problems and tackle his weakness.


Jessica W. from Montclair, NJ

Carole moves through the material at a perfect pace and makes exellent use of tutoring time. She's also kind and upbeat.


Clare H. from Ridgewood, NJ

Carole sees exactly where the student's weaknesses lie but gives so much positive reinforcement that the student is really compelled to move forward! By the second lesson my son had already made so much progress!


Roland K. from New York, NY

I'm a transfer student from Pace University who was unsatisfied with his school. I had always known that I wanted to shoot higher, but I never knew just how hectic the college application process was. Without a high school college office or a guidance counselor I was left to fend for myself. That is until I met Carole. By speaking with me and learning about my life and objectives, Carole was able to produce a phenomenal college essay. Beyond that, she reminded me of deadlines, informed me of what colleges like to see in applicants and even suggested schools I'd be comfortable in. In just 6 short weeks, I'm going to be in Boston University, and I've never been higher. I was able to reach this far because of my hard work, the support of my family and friends and, of course, Carole's guidance.


Suzanne M. from Huntington, NY

Carole helped my daughter in Spanish 104 a college level course. She is simply amazing. She is very patient and won't stop helping until you learn and understand the material. Carole is a great tutor and I highly recommend her!


Heesu P. from Rockville, MD

Carole has helped me so much with my college essays, and she is also very knowledgeable and patient! I've accomplished more in just one session with her than I did my entire summer! She gives great advice, and I feel much more confident with the essays on my college applications.


Nilanjana B. from Carlsbad, CA

One lesson before the midterm helped my junior improve his scores. Very quick to grasp his problems and tackle his weakness.


Hendry J. from Cupertino, CA

Taking tutor with her really made my essay much better. She is really experienced and care about the student, also works really fast and efficient.


MariaCristina L. from Wayne, NJ

Carol was great. She assessed my writing, listening, and speaking skill. She also had material ready for me to review verbs and prepositions.


Ivonne M. from New York, NY

Carole is a fantastic tutor, she worked with me in person, over the phone and over Skype, she is extremely accommodating and comprehensive with her students.I am an international student from Mexico City, Carole not only made me feel more confortable but also more confident throughout the whole college application period. She helped me write and shape my essays professionally, she also helped me expand and explore my college options. She also went through my applications with me countless times to make sure there was nothing missing. She cares greatly about her students and wants them to succeed. Being able to communicate with her in my native language was also very helpful. I recommend Carole to anyone who is thinking of, or is in the process of applying to college, she made this process motivating and less stressful. She's amazing.


Diana R. from Demarest, NJ

Carole is a Knowledgeable and informed tutor. She has great personality and is able to stimulate the interest of learning a new language while making it easy to understand and follow. My son had a great lesson. Thank you
