Hi, I'm Karen! I am a certified special educator with over 12 years of experience teaching intelligent students with language-based learning differences. I have worked with students from elementary through college, and have spent a lot of time with middle schoolers. I can help students get organized, plan ahead, break down abstract concepts, and gain confidence in their abilities. I have taught social studies, English Language Arts, and beginning Spanish.

I know many students, especially those who learn differently, can feel frustrated and lose confidence in a traditional classroom. When they are taught in a way they can learn and are given the tools they need, they blossom as learners and harness their strengths. I strive to connect lessons to students' personal interests and make learning fun! I look forward to working with you!
