About Karen

Learning is a journey, and I'm passionate about guiding students toward their academic goals. With a graduate degree, I believe every student possesses unique potential that can flourish with personalized support. I strive to create an engaging, supportive, and patient learning environment, fostering a love for learning that extends beyond memorization. I assess a student's individual learning style by actively listening and observing how they interact with new material, then adapt my teaching with visual aids, hands-on activities, discussions, and practice problems. I keep students motivated by connecting challenging topics to their interests, celebrating small successes, and breaking down complex problems. Communication is essential; I provide regular updates to build trust and keep everyone informed. The most rewarding aspect of being a tutor is witnessing a student's "aha!" moment and seeing their confidence soar.
