Hi, I'm Karin! I was a high school math teacher for 30 years, and I am an adjunct math professor at the local community college where many of my students are adults, as well. I have taught every class from Pre-Algebra through Calculus at the high school level, and I currently teach College Algebra and Quantitative Reasoning at the college.

Hi, I'm Karin! I was a high school math teacher for 30 years, and I am an adjunct math professor at the local community college where many of my students are adults, as well. I have taught every class from Pre-Algebra through Calculus at the high school level, and I currently teach College Algebra and Quantitative Reasoning at the college. I have spent my career helping students realize that they can do math, and that even if their past math experiences weren't positive, their time with me always is. In addition to teaching, I have tutored throughout the years for students at many levels from middle school through college. I began my tutoring journey as an undergrad in college as my first part time job and have worked for many programs over the years. I have provided support to literally thousands of students. I believe my experience makes me the perfect fit not only for students who are struggling, but those who are looking to get ahead and those learning online for any number of reasons. I have tutored and taught both online and in person. I am proficient using online math learning platforms and also being able to type math so that students can see exactly what I am talking about. In my evaluations, students frequently comment how their class experience with me was the first time they ever really understood math. My goal is to speak about math using every day language that helps students connect what they are learning to what they already know. As we work through assignments, I look for gaps in student knowledge so I can help build their base, making them stronger learners and stronger mathematicians. After all, the way to be a math person is simple: do math, and be a person! I can help you learn to be a math person today. I am easy to reach, and always respond within 24 hours. I will spend our sessions building on your prior knowledge, using language that is accessible, working at your pace and ensuring that when we stop, you are able to continue learning and practicing confidently on your own.
