"I’ve been tutoring with Carol for over a year. I had a lot of catching up to do in school, but she helped me with my reading and writing so that this year I was able to start college. I’m getting A’s in my American History class that requires a lot of writing. I like how our tutoring sessions go - I’m learning something new all the time. Carol is very nice and easy to get along with and she picks out interesting readings that make me think. She is good at helping you figure out what you need to do to achieve your goals. I’ve learned a lot and gained confidence in the time I’ve been tutoring with her."

“Carol is a dynamic educator. Teachers across the state have been excited by Incite to Write. Her workshops are full of innovative ideas.”

Deborah Weir-Khan, Coordinator, Literacy Workshops, Florida Dept. of Ed.

“Daniel’s self-esteem has gone way up. Daniel is 12 years old, and it’s such a relief to see him finally enjoying writing. He likes using his imagination, and we have fun doing the activities together."

“Carol has an excellent grasp of the English language. It always impresses me as to how intuitive Carol is regarding specific issues I need to work on. She’s easy to work with and has a lot of patience. It’s inspiring to work with her because you can feel the passion she has for her work. I’ve been happy with the pace at which I have progressed. With a background as an actor and educator, Carol has given me confidence about my English and public speaking presentations. She has also helped me put together writing materials for my work."

“Incite to Write is powerful, practical and fun for both teachers and students. After Carol’s workshop, the teachers were recharged and inspired, and they are enjoying success with the writing strategies in their classrooms."

Dr. Judy Stettler, Principal, Vieja Valley Elementary Sch, Santa Barbara, CA

“My 4th grade son found writing difficult, and because he wasn’t perfect at it, he’d give up before he even got started. Incite to Write changed him. He’s had so much fun creating stories and doing Punch the Period that he’s no longer afraid of writing.”

Catherine Lian, Parent

“Carol has helped me improve my writing and sentence structure. I am more coherent in my speaking as well as in my storytelling. My writing organization has improved tremendously, and I understand grammar better. Carol is very kind and encouraging. She has inspired me to become a lot more creative in my storytelling. With her help, I continue to improve in my writing as well as my presentation skills. ”

“Ms. Carol is a very experienced and excellent teacher. Her class will really benefit you because she focuses on grammatical rules, sentence structure, and stories of all types. She also gives you enough homework so you will improve and see results. She really makes me feel confident and excited when I’m writing stories because my stories are interesting to me as well as to my family. I’m writing stories that are way better than stories I used to write. ”

“My 13-year old daughter loves the activities. She’s made progress writing down her thoughts and working with her is no longer a struggle. I like the strategies, too. They have helped me become more creative. I’ve gained confidence in homeschooling my daughter in writing.”

"I am so glad I found Carol. She knows what is needed and she has all kinds of tools she uses to help me speak English better and lose my Korean accent. She is very good at pronunciation and teaching me how to correctly sound out vowels and enunciate consonants. She helps me use correct phrasing in the lyrics I sing and in speaking. Her insights are so valuable. We work hard, but she has a good sense of humor. The lessons are fun and rewarding."

“Incite to Write is a dynamic, fun, engaging and effective writing program. I was amazed at how much my students’ writing and critical thinking skills improved in a relatively short period of time. While other writing programs may only focus on grammar and language arts, Incite to Write teaches children to think critically and creatively as well as learn and fine tune writing skills. I highly recommend Incite to Write!.”

“I am from South Korea. I’ve learned more from Ms. Carol than all my other previous English tutors. Ms. Carol is exceptional with pronunciation and speaking. She has taught me things about language no one else did. She is a dedicated and attentive teacher and genuinely nice person. She is very patient. Ms. Carol listens and will take the time to assess your needs. I have improved tremendously. I am confident when I give presentations at my job. She also taught me how to write and edit business documents. I truly recommend Ms. Carol as a professional teacher who can help you improve your English level. ”

“She is a master storyteller, workshop presenter and educator. I wish every teacher in every county had the opportunity to work with Carol and the Incite to Write program.”
