I’m a certificated teacher (Standard Secondary, a lifetime certificate) for secondary English and music. I eventually moved from public school teaching to working as a licensed psychologist. I taught English to mostly middle school students (grades 6-10), including limited English speakers, basic skills students, and Gifted and Talented Education (GATE)students.

Testimonials
Mary P. from Granada Hills, CA Karen is organized, very thorough, an excellent communicator, and has a great sense of humor. She approaches the topic with an enthusiasm that's very infectious. Her knowledge and experience shows in the ease with which she approaches the problem, analyze it, identify the student's strength and weaknesses and tailor her teaching to the student's need. She does all this in a concise, organize manner that doesn't leave the student confused. We enjoy the time we spent with her.
William B. from Granada Hills, CA Karen has demonstrated a real gift for encouraging and motivating our student. She understands the unique challenges faced by him and has helped him understand many of the challenges of our language. She's been very patient with him and we appreciate her efforts to help him move forward in his studies. She's very conscientious and creative at the same time. We look forward to a continued effort as he progresses towards completing his high school work and moving on to college. Karen has been singularly instrumental in helping him traverse the final hurdles to completing his senior year studies. She's given him a platform to aid him in all of his studies going forward into college. She's been patient and intentional in her guidance with him. We are very blessed that Karen has been his tutor, his parents in Korea are very happy and pleased as well.
Dionne H. from Castaic, CA Karen was a fabulous tutor. She was always attentive to details and kept our sessions on track. She would send me information on the topics we were working on, outside of our regular tutoring sessions, which shows how much she cared about my learning. She was very knowledgeable about the subjects (literature and philosophy), but if she was unsure about any aspect of a topic, she would do enough research to ensure my command of the material. My issue was writing essays and papers. She helped me to excel and earn straight As for the Quarter. I would recommend her as a tutor if writing is your challenge with academia.
Angela P. from Valencia, CA Karen is very patient and easily understood. She is a good listener and really cares about the progress that is made she gave me feed back after every session of the progress that was made .
Annie G. from Van Nuys, CA Karen is a great tutor. She's very patient, helpful and involved. I didn't think I could get an A in a long college research paper. With Karen's help the entire process was easier and I wrote an excellent paper that my professor loved. I got an A and my professors comments were: excellent paper, very good examples, good intro, good conclusions. I learned a lot from my sessions with Karen and will definitely come back when I need more help.
