"My name is Karen, and I have taught middle school math for 30 years. I love it! I am actively licensed to teach in three states. I am certified to teach all elementary subjects and am certified to teach middle school math and science. Although I am retired from education, I must keep teaching, it is my art! There is really nothing more rewarding to me than to see a child succeed in something they thought they could not do. It brings me immense joy... and isn’t joy the best thing to have? I think so! I hold a bachelor’s degree in education and graduated from Winthrop University.

Most of my teaching experience was in seventh grade math and prealgebra. My areas of expertise are: All operations with Fractions and Integers; Fraction - Decimal - Percent Conversion; "Percent of" using equations or proportions; Area, Perimeter, Volume, Surface Area; The Triangle; All basic middle level Geometry; Everything Circle; Basic Probability; The Coordinate Plane
