About Karen


Bio

Working in small groups or one on one with children has taught me that children thrive and learn with that more focused attention. I love to learn myself and when I see connections made in a student's mind, I know I have done my job and it is a great feeling. I believe it is important to have a lot of trust between teacher and student and a level of comfort and challenge. Knowing my students and their abilities and challenges helps me to use different teaching methods to foster success.

Working in small groups or one on one with children has taught me that children thrive and learn with that more focused attention. I love to learn myself and when I see connections made in a student's mind, I know I have done my job and it is a great feeling. I believe it is important to have a lot of trust between teacher and student and a level of comfort and challenge. Knowing my students and their abilities and challenges helps me to use different teaching methods to foster success.

I have worked with children from pre school through 8th grade, including students with learning disabilities and emotional challenges. I find that patience and compassion go a long way toward goals we have set together. I am currently a Title 1 Reading Teacher, serving grades 4-8.

I'm a K-6 Certified Teacher.

I understand that there are many issues contributing to learning challenges and believe we can work through them together. Sometimes that one on one work or different teaching methods unlock what is already in a child's mind.

Approved Subjects

ADHD

ADHD

I have personal experience dealing with ADD/ADHD since my son struggles with these issues. I understand individual needs and have dealt with teachers and school administration in terms of meeting his needs at school. Professionally, I have worked with students with these issues one on one as a resource teacher at a private school.
Dyslexia

Dyslexia

I have worked with students struggling with Dyslexia as a resource teacher at a private school. I also know parents whose children have been success as students, and have engaged them in conversation, as I like to learn the "secrets" and gain insight into what helps students learn. I have tutored a student with Dyslexia in reading.
Elementary (K-6th)

Elementary (K-6th)

As a certified K-6 teacher, I am qualified to tutor students in subject areas of those grades. I have taught students from ages 3K-8th grade in various subjects. I have tutored for middle school math and reading, as well as students with particular needs.
Special Needs

Special Needs

As a Resource Teacher at a private school, I have worked with students struggling with many issues, including CD, emotional/social issues, ADHD/ADD, Downs Syndrome, OCD, as well as other undefined challenges. I believe I am patient and persistent in understanding what makes students want to learn and be successful, despite their particular struggles. I believe the one on one relationship fosters learning particularly well for students that need a little extra attention.

Great Tutor!

Karen is wonderful! She is working with my daughter on reading and we are seeing improvement! She is very patient with my daughter who has ADHD. My daughter actually looks forward to her lessons with Karen and I feel she's helping her self confidence which is so important.
