Hi! My name is Karen, and I’m currently a 1st grade teacher in the Sunnyvale School District. Over the years, I’ve had the joy of teaching a wide range of grades including Preschool, Kindergarten, 3rd, and 4th grade. With many years of experience in education, I bring a deep understanding of how children learn at different stages and how to support them in reaching their academic goals.
I specialize in K–5 math instruction and early literacy, including phonics, sight words, and foundational reading skills. I've taught both in-person and online (via Zoom), and I’m skilled at keeping students engaged with effective, fun, and goal-driven strategies tailored to their needs.
Whether your child needs help catching up, staying on track, or getting ahead, I’ll work with you to build a personalized plan. I start by identifying what your child can do independently, then create focused lessons that support growth, confidence, and mastery. I also have access to high-quality curriculum materials not always available outside the classroom.
Subjects I offer:
Math (Grades K–5): Concept support, skill-building, enrichment
Reading & Phonics (PreK–1st): Letter sounds, blending, decoding, sight words
Writing & Literacy (K–4): Sentence structure, reading comprehension, vocabulary
General Homework Help & Study Skills
I'm currently scheduling summer tutoring sessions and would love to support your child's learning during the break. I’m easy to reach, quick to respond, and committed to helping students succeed.
Let’s connect and get started!
