Hello, I’m Karen. I am a former elementary school teacher with more than 20 years of classroom teaching experience outside the United States. I now provide patient, encouraging reading and everyday-English support for adult beginners.

My years in the classroom taught me how to explain ideas clearly, recognize different learning styles, and help students build confidence one step at a time. I create simple, structured lessons that include guided reading, useful vocabulary, reading comprehension, speaking practice, and real-life conversations.

I also work as a CNA and Patient Care Technician. My healthcare experience has further strengthened my patience, listening skills, compassion, and ability to communicate with people from many different backgrounds.

During our sessions, we can practice introductions, workplace conversations, appointments, shopping, restaurants, reading short passages, and other everyday situations. Lessons are adjusted to your individual comfort level and goals. You will be treated with patience and respect in a relaxed, judgment-free learning environment.

I earned a perfect score on Wyzant’s Reading proficiency test and bring more than 20 years of formal elementary classroom teaching experience outside the United States. Throughout my teaching career, I helped learners strengthen their reading, vocabulary, comprehension, and confidence. My approach includes guided reading, clear explanations, vocabulary review, comprehension questions, repetition, and practical examples. I am patient, encouraging, and able to adjust each session to the learner’s individual pace, comfort level, and goals. I now focus on supporting adult beginners who want to improve their reading and everyday-English skills in a respectful, judgment-free environment. My goal is to help each learner understand what they read, communicate more confidently, and recognize steady progress from one session to the next.
