Hello Prospective Student,

My name is Karen and I am head special education teacher at an elementary. I have a master's degree in special education and I work with students with varying disabilities. I have worked with students with learning disabilities, intellectual disabilities, in general education, emotional disabilities, visual impairments, Downs syndrome, and students who are nonverbal. I love teaching and look forward to working with your student.

I have tutored a student in seventh grade Math and English. I brought her grades up from 30% to Bs and Cs in two months. I created a notebook full of math formulas and step-by-step instructions for solving different problems. I currently have an eight grade student who now excels at math.

I have taken several courses where I have learned many different ways to approach the same subject. Every student learns in a different way. I can easily adapt to the way you learn and show you how to convert the material into the proper format. I strongly believe that understanding the material thoroughly is the most important part of education. I encourage your involvement in the learning process. I create and customize worksheets with several examples and strategies for learning materials. I have a great deal of patience and exciting new approaches to learning.

I excel at Math and English. I have taken several Communications courses in college which has helped me to become great at public speaking. I was raised with an editor as a mother so my proofreading, grammar, spelling, vocabulary, and writing skills are excellent. I enjoy teaching and helping others achieve their educational and personal goals.

Thank your for your interest,
Karen A.

Patient! Great teacher!

Karen connected easily with me and I was comfortable with her. Her instructions made sense and were very helpful.

Knowledgeable and extremely effective tutor

We hired Karen to help a very disadvantaged but willing person in his math skills for his GED. She is doing a superlative job.

Helped my middle school daughter with prealgebra

Karen has helped my child gain a better understanding of math. She makes sure to let her know to try to do the work herself and not rely on her calculator so much. We appreciate her help. In addition, she is always very punctual.

Excellent

Karen is a great tutor, not only does she tutor, but she brings games, strategies to help my son become successful in his math.

Ursula, 10 lessons with Karen

Very patient

When Karen arrived my son was grumpy and refused to do anything with her but her patience and the way she got his mind off of his grumpiness was amazing. Once she started to work with him he was his back to his friendly self. I appreciate that she didn't head straight for the door at first and gave him some time to warm up.
