I am a professional teacher and tutor with a passion for bringing to life the French and Latin languages, including their history and culture. I am a specialist in providing practical applications for Latin, such as SAT and ACT test preparations and strengthening English grammar and syntax skills. Feedback from students and parents has confirmed that the skills taught and knowledge acquired in my Latin and Word Origin courses have been beneficial throughout the student's high school, college, and professional careers. These skills include vocabulary enrichment, improved writing ability, better oral communication, and more advanced writing skills.

My passion for French is evidenced by my frequent trips to France, where I lived with French families and immersed myself in their language and culture. I have a Master's degree in French and am skilled in assisting students in making sense of French grammar, vocabulary, and idiomatic expressions, while helping them improve their skills in reading, writing, listening comprehension, and speaking.

Thoughtful, Patient French Tutor

Candace D. helped me prepare for and pass a college level French proficiency exam required while attending cooking school in France. During the several months we worked together, she proved to be one of the best instructors I’ve ever had, not only for her ability to breakdown and organize the French language in easy to learn lessons, but for her consistent patience and humor. Her 30+ years of teaching experience really made a difference for me, as she had to basically create a crash program of study for someone with very little knowledge prior to our working together. Her thoughtfulness extended right up to exam day, making sure I had everything I needed to succeed. I passed the exam, thanks to her. Candace is an outstanding tutor for French. Look no further, if you want to succeed.

I am very pleased with Candace D.

She tutored my daughter on 11/02/21 in person at our home. She was very well prepared and listened to my teens areas of struggle. Candace is knowledgeable, worked on both verbal and written during our session. Very patient with good follow up with notes. In one lesson only, my daughter felt very confident. Candace is an outstanding tutor for French. Look no further, if you want to succeed. We are very happy with her and will be reaching out to her when our 2nd daughter starts French next year.

Knowledgeable and patient tutor

I wish we had found her earlier in the semester. My daughter's school switched to an online format for French, which has not meshed with her learning style. Candace and my teen clicked immediately in the first lesson. Candace is knowledgeable, worked on both verbal and written during our session. Very patient with good follow up with notes. We set up another lesson quickly. If I could transport her to my daughter's high school, it would be perfect. A+

Knowledgeable and helpful tutor

She reviewed basic Latin concepts with my son. When we left he told me that she really helped to connect the dots and fill in the missing holes from this year in Latin 1.

Awesome, encouraging, engaging....

Our first session with Candace was excellent!!! My daughter is in her third year of French and really needed help! Can't wait to see how well she is speaking in another few months!!!

Great French Tutor

My daughter was struggling in a IB Self Paced French class and very reluctant to engage in private tutoring. After 2-3 months of working with Candace, her confidence and grades dramatically improved. So much so, she has started speaking and texting in French. She is also continuing to work with Candace over the summer even though classed are not taking place.

A knowledgeable Latin tutor

Mrs. Candace is a knowledgeable tutor and she helped my son out with his 8th grade Latin. He was struggling with grammar and translation work towards the end of his school year. So we sought out help from Mrs. Candace and she was able to quickly bring him up to speed and he ended the year on a decent note. Every class she updated me what she had reviewed with my son and what was taught during the class.

Great tutor

Needed help with preparing for French 2 final. Stuck on a couple of items. Now I feel confident that I can keep my A average!!

Sarah, 1 lesson with Candace

Absolutely the Best

Candace has been working with my son in Honors French III. My son was struggling with the details of the French language and his grades were slipping accordingly. I am thrilled that due to Candace's patient, professional teaching, my son was able to finish the year with an A despite his early struggles. Candace always arrived on time and her delightful personality made the tutoring sessions fly by. She responds promptly to emails and voice messages and is flexible with the scheduling to accommodate my son's busy sports schedule. We recommend Candace without reservation. She is wonderful.
