"Hi! I’m Karina, and I’m so happy you found me on Wyzant! I would be so excited to work with you and help make learning fun and meaningful. In my reading and phonics lessons, we focus on building strong literacy skills while also practicing focus, memory, and confidence. Each lesson is tailored to your child’s reading level and learning style so they can use what they learn independently at school and at home.

For psychology, physiology, and neuroscience, I love helping students explore how the brain and body process information, attention, and memory. We do fun, hands-on activities and experiments that make these topics exciting and relatable, while also building critical thinking and problem-solving skills. My goal is to make learning both practical and enjoyable, so students feel confident applying what they learn in everyday life.

I hold a Bachelor’s in Psychology and a Master’s in Cognitive Neuroscience, with training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy principles and Applied Behavior Analysis. I’ve taught in classrooms, online one-on-one sessions, and homeschool settings, and I’ve also run seminars for older students and adults. I offer a short free consultation to get to know your student and ask for 24 hours’ notice for cancellations. Feel free to message me — I can’t wait to meet you and start learning together!" less...
