Great Teacher!
My daughter is really enjoying tutoring with Karen. The sessions go by fast, with fun interactive exchanges. Karen has helped my daughter get more confident speaking Spanish and is helping her with foundational steps regular school isn’t providing. Excellent thoughtful fun teacher!

Beyond expectations!
Karen has been meeting with my daughter to improve her conversational Spanish skills. Her vocabulary and fluency are improving dramatically. The 1:1 experience accelerated the learning. Highly recommend!

The best!
Karen was awesome. She had tons of ideas for ways to help me improve my Spanish conversation, including book and movie recommendations that I can check out in my own time. She put me totally at ease! I highly recommend her!

Knowledgable, supportive and precise
Karen is supporting my sophomore with Spanish III. He is struggling a lot with the grammar and language demands. Karen encourages him, tells him where to focus, how to understand the grammar and helps him with the difficult concepts. She helped him greatly prepare for his oral and written finals.

Energetic and Fun!
Karen is a very energized and inspired teacher that carries a high level of enthusiasm only rivaled by her deep understanding of the Spanish language! I would recommend anyone who is beginning, intermediate, or advanced, to take a lesson with her!

Through, polite, and fast
Karen was a pleasure to work with. She was very fast with looking over a study guide/flash cards I was working on. Her eye for detail was great, along with her ability to explain it in a way I could understand. I hope to work with her again. I learned a lot from our lesson.
