About

With over 20 years experience teaching languages in both middle and high school settings, I have many excellent resources and strategies to help my students learn French, Spanish, Italian and Latin.

Because I have a passion for languages, I strive to use them as much as possible. Tutoring students is one way for me to share this passion while keeping my own language skills alive and up to date.

    Mrs. Wood-Radcliffe is a fantastic tutor. She taught me Latin from age 8 to 12, and she has helped me with French during my high school years. Mrs. Wood-Radcliffe quickly evaluated my strengths and weaknesses as a language learner. She personalized each lesson to strengthen skills that needed work and to my specific ways of learning. She also had many simple tips and tricks to help me remember important groups of words, conjugations, and specific rules of both languages. Most importantly, Mrs. Wood-Radcliffe is a kind and caring tutor who will understand and implement how best to teach you and do everything she can to help you succeed.

    She was very understanding of my positives and my negatives that I had in my learning. She would always make me the most prepared for any test that I would be given. Lastly she was very kind and would be there for me when I was struggling.

    Frequently asked questions

    I prefer to tutor online using Zoom. I start by diagnosing a student's existing skill level in the language by working with the language in various ways, then together we design a plan to fulfill the goals that the student has in mind.

    B.A. in French with a minor in Classical Languages

    M.S. in Secondary Education 7-12

    I have studied 7 languages, most notably French, Spanish, Italian and Latin, and have the expertise and proficiency in these languages to teach/tutor them.

    Zoom lessons are priced at $75/hour.

    The Katonah-Lewisboro School District hired me in 2001 as a Latin teacher, then added French and Spanish.

    Elementary, middle and high school students, college-age students and other adults interested in learning languages.

    I took my two grandsons, ages 3 and 4, to an amusement park with my husband. They delighted in going on all the rides, playing on the animal sculptures and eating some fun foods. The next day we went fishing in a local pond, joined by our 5 year old granddaughter. They all caught at least one fish! Fun times.

    Be sure the teacher listens to your goals. Be clear about your goals so he or she can give you the best teaching experience. Ask them if they have resources to share in the areas of listening, speaking, reading and writing so that you can enjoy a total language learning experience.

    What am I looking to accomplish by engaging in this learning experience?

    How much time will I be able to devote to homework and practice outside of our one-hour lessons?

    How willing am I to take the plunge and speak the language with my teacher?
