Incite To Write

English Language Learners

Welcome! I’m Looking Forward To Helping You!

I have over 25 years’ experience teaching English Language Arts. I have a Master’s Degree from Brooklyn College, City University of New York. I’m a published author, educational consultant in English Language Arts for several school districts in Florida, California, and New Mexico, and I’ve trained teachers throughout the state of Florida for the Florida Department of Education.

My non-profit organization, Transformational Learning & Coaching, Inc. (http://storytellersandwriters.org/), has helped thousands of struggling students, mostly English Language Learners, score higher on their academic standardized Writing and Language Arts tests, using my Incite to Write program. (You can read more about me HERE.  You can explore and purchase the Incite to Write Writing Activities HERE.)

 

But more importantly, I have worked in hundreds of classrooms hands-on, helping teachers and kids find better, more efficient, and more fun ways to learn essential writing, reading and English speaking skills. As a Level 5 certified TEFL instructor, I have many tools to use to make your lessons relevant and interesting. You will find the activities are very engaging, and you will be able to note your progress at the end of each lesson as  you move steadily toward your goals in English communication.

Tutoring for Pre-Intermediate/Intermediate to Advanced Learners

Prior to becoming an educator, I was a professional actor. Why does that matter? Speaking Shakespeare  does not come easily! Actors spend years training in speech. This background has given me a keen understanding of the English language, pronunciation, how to enunciate properly, and how to use phrasing to communicate effectively. 

Communication is important to everyone. The ability to express yourself well in English can open doors to further education and job opportunities. It can be a very rewarding experience to watch as your skill level in English progresses. 

As a Level 5 TEFL certified Instructor, I understand how difficult it is to communicate in a new language and what lessons are needed to help you succeed. I will work with you at the point you are at, and  we will move step by step toward your goals. We will be using a variety of activities and strategies to keep it interesting and relevant. After each lesson you will have accomplished a specific set of language rules, vocabulary words, or conversation topics that are tailored for YOU to bring you closer to your specific goals.

You will be learning American English.

Whether you are a younger student, older student, or an adult, I look forward to helping you with: 

  • Pronunciation
  • Natural Phrasing in Speaking
  • Conversational English
  • Business English
  • Presentation skills
  • Grammar
  • Business Writing
  • Writing for all purposes

I look forward to helping you.

Contact me HERE,  call/text me at 805-448-7357, or email me at carol@incitetowrite.com for information or to ask a question. I’ll get back to you usually within 24 hours.
Fees for students are from $60-$70/hr. Fees for adults are from $75-$85/hr.

what people are saying

"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."

"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!.”
Devorah Sarah, Teacher, Santa Fe, NM.
“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. ”
