Introduction: I care about the well-being of the student and their family. I look to do what is most successful for the student and not what is easiest for me. I build a relationship with my clients, and I make them as comfortable as possible. I love working with children, particularly middle school aged children. I love the age they are at when they are finding out who they truly are, and I feel as though when they are comfortable with what they are doing in school, from my help, they flourish.

Karen Tutored my son in middle school and then again in High School! With her help his grades went from 65 to 89 !!! He was very comfortable with her as a tutor and she was very knowledgeable. I highly recommend her services and plan on Continuing with her in the future to help him prepare for another Regents and also SAT !

Karen tutored my daughter in algebra and she was a great help to her! She really helped her understand the concepts she was struggling with in a way that enabled her to be successful in the class! I highly recommend her!!!

Karen has an outstanding attitude when working with children to tutor them in math. She has made great strides with my son who has struggled throughout the school year. Her methods have helped him to be more confident about his math facts and excel in his growth as a student.

FAQs

How did you get started doing this type of work?
Ever since I was young I have wanted to be a teacher, and so tutoring was the basis to becoming a teacher. Between tutoring and babysitting, I have been surrounded by children my whole life and I love to watch them grow up into successful human beings.
Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?
I recently took on a tutoring position for a student taking the Geometry regents. Although I was a math major, some of the concepts from high school were not touched upon in college. I wasn't afraid to take out books from the library and freshen up my skills, so I used my book during tutoring sessions and helped this student pass the exam. Since I had been away at college, I only got the opportunity to start helping him 4 weeks before the exam, so when I found out he got an 86 I was proud. "Eddie got an 86 on his exam; he is so happy he came dancing into my room to tell me." Text messages like these continue to motivate me to become a better tutor.
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
Find someone who is interested in the student and the family and not just the money. Although I tutor as a part time job (you've got to pay the bills somehow, right?), I enjoy getting to know my family on and off of an academic level. Don't settle for someone that isn't helping. Don't be afraid to tell someone that it isn't working out, because what you want is for your child to be successful, not to avoid hurting people's feelings.
