"Hi! My name is Karen and I enjoy working with students to increase their understanding of English, math and science. I have a degree in Engineering and almost 30 years of experience in working with students of all ages, levels and backgrounds. I have worked as a private tutor for 20 years with students in their homes, and also owned and operated a private K-12 school with individual programs for each student during that time. Prior to the pandemic, I was an executive in a business delivering educational seminars to corporate executives. In 2020, I became an online tutor. I am internationally certified to teach English as a second language and enjoy helping students with English, math or science.

As a private tutor, I have a unique approach to helping students. First, I find out what they want to learn and what they didn't understand in that subject. Once we clear that up, then we work on improving skills until the student feels able to continue independently. I can usually simplify the subject so that a student can easily grasp the concepts, especially when they appear to be complicated.

I opened a private school to give my own children and others like them personalized instruction and a positive environment in which to learn. The school grew over 10 years with students who wanted individualized programs and the opportunity to learn at their own pace. Now, my children are grown and successful adults who love to read and learn whatever catches their interest. I bring this same approach to tutoring and have successfully helped every student who had even a small desire to learn. If you or your child needs someone who cares about what is being learned, then try my tutoring. You won't be disappointed!" less...
