About Karen


Bio

I have several years of experience teaching undergraduate courses in cultural anthropology, sociology, and women’s/gender studies at the university level to students from many walks of life.

I love learning! Because I am a bit of a degree collector myself (BA, MA, PhD, MPA), I understand the joys and challenges of learning, as well as how different each class can be from another (even within the same major). I also understand that sometimes it helps to have extra practice or one-to-one...

I have several years of experience teaching undergraduate courses in cultural anthropology, sociology, and women’s/gender studies at the university level to students from many walks of life.

I love learning! Because I am a bit of a degree collector myself (BA, MA, PhD, MPA), I understand the joys and challenges of learning, as well as how different each class can be from another (even within the same major). I also understand that sometimes it helps to have extra practice or one-to-one help with the subject you are studying.

Let's chat about what kind of tutoring you are looking for! I have evening and week and hours available (US Central Time Zone), including online lessons.

Anthropology

Anthropology

I hold a PhD in cultural anthropology from the University of Minnesota. I have over 8 years of experience teaching anthropology and sociology at the university level. I have experience teaching students from all walks of life, including international students, beginners and advanced students of anthropology.
Czech

Czech

I conducted my dissertation research in the Czech Republic, which required speaking and reading Czech. I did this after studying Czech full-time for a year in Prague. My research involved interviewing people in Czech and reading academic work in Czech. This research took 1.5 years, on top of the year I spent learning the language. I also lived in Prague for an additional year for a total of about 4 years. I also taught basic conversational Czech to people with Czech heritage who were interested in becoming familiar with the language at the Sokol Hall in St. Paul, MN. I am interested in tutoring heritage speakers and those who would like a basic understanding of the language and culture.

I taught ESOL to adult students in Prague, Czech Republic. I have also studied several languages and lived abroad, so I understand what it is like to be a language learner.

Amazing

I have been working with Karen regularly for over a year. I am so grateful I found her. I am studying anthropology and she had been able to help me with all of my classes. She is familiar with so many anthropologists and ethnographies and is able to fold that information into what I am working on for the week. She helps make ideas and theories understandable and easy to relate to. I couldn’t have gotten through my bachelors without her! 🙏

Gifted Tutor and Extraordinary Technical Depth

Dr. K. does an impeccable job explaining intricate concepts in a brief amount of time. I was quite impressed with the presentation style and command of the material.

Knowledgeable tutor

Karen helped me with a paper on social theory. I learned a lot from this lesson and feel more confident. Any questions that I had were answered in a way that I understood. :)

Karen is the best of the best. You will never regret choosing her. #1 among all tutors I have used.

Karen has reviewed many of my papers and has always given great advice. Karen is direct in that she not only wants to help improve your paper, she wants you to learn at the same time.

Amazing

Anthropology seems like a class that would be hard to get tutoring for, but not with Karen. She has been so helpful in talking through concepts with me, and helping me figure out how to approach assignments. In only 3 sessions she has helped me improve me grade substantially and has helped me gain confidence in my knowledge. I am grateful I found her and will likely continue asking for her help as I finish my anthro degree! Thanks so much!

Thorough, insightful and expedient

I reached out to Karen on a couple of high priority assignments for my MA in Sociology. She was extremely accommodating, providing valuable insight, which I feel resulted in a more comprehensive and balanced perspective to my work. I can strongly recommend her work!

Very knowledgeable and patient

Professor Karen was very helpful in guiding me through the thought process and helped me with necessary brainstorming. She is very positive and encouraged me throughout my project. Thank you so much. I will take another lesson with her when I need it.
