Helps not just my son, but shows me how to help him too
Ms. Karen is a wonderful tutor! My son was struggling in 2nd grade. Homework was a battle of wills and it felt like my son could not get his test scores to show how much he actually knew. He was easily frustrated and starting to get very discouraged. Ms. Karen started with reading and giving him tools to focus. By the end of the year, he was slightly above grade level and we’ve started working on math too. My son always finishes the session feeling positive and I feel armed with games/strategies/help for the rest of the week. I couldn’t be more grateful for Ms. Karen and I would highly recommend her!

Amazing ADHD consultant and tutor – Very knowledgeable!
Our son has ADHD and has struggled with his quizzes, tests, and writing assignments for several years. He was always left feeling frustrated. We tried to work with our son’s teachers and put other supports in place with no luck. We were so lucky to find Coach Karen when we did! She’s a true treasure!! We have been working with her for almost a year, allowing us to form an excellent working relationship – she is easy to talk to, understanding, and patient. During this time, Coach Karen has helped our son improve his comprehension and writing, including his note-taking skills; math has advanced about two grade levels. Grades have continued to improve throughout the year between 4th and 5th grade to the point it’s almost straight A’s and prompted an invitation to participate in math club at school. This provided a new confidence that he didn’t have before. Coach Karen has also coached us on ADHD approaches/practices to help address situations with our son at home or school. In addition to providing a better understanding of how an ADHD mind works and how to incentivize him best to keep him on top with his school work and other tasks. Our son is in a much better place now; he always looks forward to learning new things during his tutoring sessions with Coach Karen! We are extremely thankful for all she has helped our son with and happy to continue working with her. We highly recommend Coach Karen!

Ms. Karen is a gifted mentor
We are blessed to have Ms. Karen’s talents as a resource for my son. She has made a 180 difference in his performance. He now enjoys math and has confidence in completing his work. We are grateful for her and plan to continue partnering for a long time.
A great find.
Our family was seeking a math tutor for our super-bright, 10 year old son. We chose Karen based on her excellent credentials. We had very high expectations and Karen has exceeded every one of them. Our son has enjoyed every session. Karen has taught him alternate ways to view his math problems so that they make sense to him, as an individual. His improvement in the subject is steady and profound. Karen was a great find and we will be eternally grateful.

Great Reinforcer and Tutor
Ms. Karen has been a big help for my daughter. She has been very motivational towards her and in turn, my daughter has been more excited about getting her assignments complete. I’d highly recommend.

My 11 year old not only was going into the sixth grade but transferred to private school. After a few weeks we definitely could tell this was going to be a huge adjustment. It was apparent that he did not know how to study and had horrible organization skills. We hired Ms. Karen to mainly help our son in these two areas. Just after a couple of weeks we saw great improvements and his grades are getting better and better. We highly recommend Ms. Karen. Our son really took to her the first day they met and she has transformed our homework life.

Scouring through all the profiles to find a gem!
Relatability is such a huge factor for my kid…Coach Karen is personable, concise, efficient, and flexible. We are an ADHD family who plays travel hockey so her ability and willingness to flex with us has been priceless. We just had a session (organization skills and social studies test prep) from a hotel room in Vegas (we live on east coast). My son said that he had no idea how easier things can be with just getting organized, using short-cuts with focused and directed attention to the stuff that actually matters. I have a feeling this will be a long-term relationship as long as she will have us.

Patience
She is so patient with my son and his ways of trying to get out of reading. She is able to make him focus and get back on task. I am seeing improvement in not only his reading but his handwriting as well. She is a true GEM.

ADHD and organization
Karen was really helpful. My son has ADHD and very unorganized. She had great ideas on how to start helping him focus on task. It’s very difficult to understand how ADHD kids think. And Karen did a great job teaching us how.

Miss Karen is tutoring my son on his creative writing. She is doing a great job with him. He’s finally starting to understand the process of doing an essay. I can see how comfortable she makes him and he doesnt look intimidated while learning because she is very warm.. Thanks Ms Karen.

Highly Skilled, Attentive, and Well Organized
Karen M. is not only a master of student assessment and educational techniques; she has also mastered the skill of patience, attentiveness, and confidence building. Her skill set allows her to recognize the student’s strengths and use them in study practices. She is able to explain why a particular study habit does not work well for the particular student and find what works. She was always punctual. The communication with me, about my child, was great. Her knowledge of the 504 plan was an added bonus. She kept me on schedule with email reminders. She was on top of her paper work and schedule. The biggest Kudos I can give her is that my daughter looked forward to her tutoring sessions with Ms. Karen; and, I loved seeing my daughter excited about learning.

One of a kind
Ms. Karen is awesome! My area of improvement focused on improving study skills, mandating study times and sticking with them, and reviewing writing a proper outline. I can truly say that she is helping with improvement and gaining better confidence in my work within myself. She works on learning you as a person before beginning lessons so that she can better assist you. I really like Ms. Karen, great teacher and motivator.
Jasmine, 16 lessons with Karen
Very patient with my son. She customizes her teaching to his learning style.
Worked with him on hid first grade vocabulary and math. She reviews what he is working on in school to customize her tutoring to his needs. This helps build his confidence and helps him to apply in school.

Excellent Tutor!
We could not be happier with the services Karen has provided. Karen is so patient and does such a great job of explaining things. With her help my daughter maintained a B average during her last semester, which was a great improvement. She is quick to answer any questions you have and whether it’s by email or phone she always answers back the same day. My daughter has a new optimism about starting her next semester knowing that Karen is there to help her. Thank you so much Karen!
