Hi, I'm Karen! I graduated magna cum laude with distinction from Yale University. I have almost a decade of experience tutoring students, ranging from elementary to college-aged. My area of expertise is in the humanities and social sciences. I have earned high marks in history, sociology, English language and literature courses, as well as scoring perfectly on ACT Reading and English, 760 on SAT Reading and Writing, 780 on the SAT Literature Subject Test, and a 5 on AP English Language and AP English Literature. I am familiar with Chicago, MLA and APA styles of writing and citation. I can teach the basics (grammar, sentence structure, etc.) and the more stylistic elements of writing, all while honing the voice of each student through their writing. This translates into my experience in working with students on admissions essays for research programs, high schools, colleges, and graduate schools.
Though I specialize in English and writing, I am also experienced in other subjects, like high school mathematics, elementary math, cello, and more. Reach out to me about specific subjects, and I will do my best to help!
I am a patient, engaged, enthusiastic tutor, often coming up with creative ways to engage with my students. I know that each student requires an unique approach, and I am more than willing to take the time to fit each lesson to the specific needs of the student.
Communication is essential to this, and I believe in transparent, need-centered communications with students and parents. Feel free to reach out with any questions!
