Karen

Math and Econ Tutor with College and High School Teaching Experience

I am a University of Kentucky and Vanderbilt University graduate with over 3000 total hours of tutoring experience over the past 15 years and I would love to help you conquer your math and economics fears! I have tutored students from 6th grade through adult learners returning to college. I absolutely love the one on one aspect of tutoring. Having taught Intermediate Microeconomics on two occasions at Vanderbilt, I found it difficult to engage every student as much as I would like to. In a tu...

Karen came into our lives mid-semester when my daughter was really struggling in her college microeconomics class and her information systems class. Karen was everything that I could have asked for in a tutor. She was always punctual and prepared and gave her full attention every time they met. She was always willing to find the time to work with our daughter not only on what she was studying currently in the class, but to also go back to previous concepts to improve her overall understanding of the subject. Her patience, knowledge and teaching expertise were exactly what our daughter needed! Karen spent as much time as necessary in order to improve my daughter's understanding of the concepts. With Karen's help our daughter was able to vastly improve not only her scores, but her understanding of economics. Karen is a God-send, and we look forward to her continuing to tutor our daughter as much as necessary throughout the rest of her college career. Thank you so much Karen for all of your help!

I felt Karen did an excellent job tutoring our son for the math portion of the ACT. In addition to being very knowledgeable in the subject area, she was a uniquely skilled teacher who was able to redirect our sometimes-distracted son with patience and firmness. Karen was always professional, organized, prompt for lessons, flexible with scheduling and overall easy to work with. In sum, my son and I both were highly impressed with Karen’s abilities and would recommend her without reservation.

Karen was an incredible tutor for my son, John. He was struggling with Statistics and failing the class. After a few short weeks with Karen he showed tremendous improvement and passed the course. We appreciate her!


Scott P. from Nashville, TN

Our son scored a 90 on his Algebra II (honors) Final this week! Prior to working with Karen over the last 4 weeks he was struggling to pass the class, and has ended the semester strong. So we are very pleased! Karen provided excellent, practical help in breaking down the problems into manageable portions. She also provided help in test-taking strategy, and was accommodating to his class/sports schedule. Will definitely hire her for future classes!!


Lynn R. from Nashville, TN

Karen has moved the needle in some very significant ways. The most obvious is the grade point swing in class work, exams, and End of Course test. My student looks forward to working with Karen, considering her a support vs. requirement. Perhaps, most significant was Karen's recognition that a lack of confidence was the biggest stumbling block. She established a connection that worked on the technical skills of Algebra while addressing confidence builders. Our family is externally grateful to have her.


Nicole E. from Brentwood, TN

I am just starting my statistics class and she really helped me get a great start with understanding the basics. I will be working with her throughout my class, she is amazing.


Karen K. from Nashville, TN

Karen was very knowledgeable, professional and incredibly easy to work with. She really understood the material and, most importantly, helped me through all the content I needed to reach my goal.


Charlie L. from Nashville, TN

Karen helped me formulate a study plan for the math section of the GRE. With one day's notice, she had prepared ample exercises, which she had completed herself to make sure were correct, for our one hour session. On problems that I took too much time struggling with, she was able to explain how to reach the solution in a quick and efficient manner. Great math tutor.


Amanda L. from Nashville, TN

I learned fractions and lines. Also helped with strategies. I feel more confident in my math skills. She is a great tutor.


Carmen M. from Franklin, TN

Karen was very easy to get along with and she transitioned immediately to get to work with our daughter. My daughter said she gave her very tangible ways to better understand what she is currently learning in her AP Math class. We look forward to seeing the outcome in our daughter's grades.


Meg F. from Nashville, TN

We had special circumstances and Karen graciously rose to the occasion to meet with Josie at a later hour than normal in order to help her out. Such dedication, flexibility & willingness to go the extra mile for a student in need!


Fran L. from Nashville, TN

Karen is very patient. She is a great communicator and makes sure the subject matter is fully understood. She explains in a way the teacher does not so that geometry is almost easy.


Carli-Jo K. from Franklin, TN

Had my first session with Karen last week. She was very accommodating on schedules and locations, which I appreciated. She really knows her stuff and I know that after these sessions I will have more self confidence as I go into the next ACT testing schedule. She also followed up after the session and sent me practice sheets to complete prior to our next session.


Larry S. from Nashville, TN

Karen is very easy to get along with and she transitioned immediately to get to work with me on the math section of the GRE. I have learned fractions, exponents and geometry and she has also helped me with strategies. I feel more confident in my math skills and her study plan for me in regards to the GRE. On problems that I was confused or didn't know the answer to (or in my case forgot since it has be awhile since I was in college), she was able to explain how to reach the solution in a quick, catchy and efficient manner. She is an awesome math tutor who I would recommend to anybody!


Gracie R. from Philadelphia, PA

We enjoyed our first meeting with Karen. She was patient with my daughter and really helped. She also sent us some things to help her at home. Thanks Karen!


Shannon N. from Nashville, TN

Karen is a fantastic tutor ! I had no clue as to what I was doing in my grad level economics class. Karen explained it to me in about 40 mins and I understood completely. She is very good at what she does.


Allen S. from Michie, TN

Karen was extremely knowledgeable and did an awesome job covering the material. I would definitely recommend her to anyone needing help with economics.


Mia M. from Nashville, TN

Karen is so helpful explaining statistics in a way that makes total sense. She edits what's really important and weeds out the rest. She has shown me how to apply the right equation to each problem. So much easier with her help.


Hope W. from Spring Hill, TN

I am working on my MBA and was struggling with Economics so, sought out a tutor for help. Karen explained the concepts on a level where I could easily understand and as a result, which was a total game changer for me.
