Best Spanish teacher ever! Very effective pedagogical methods. Thanks to Karen I learn at high speed. And most importantly, it is such a pleasure to learn and chat with her that I never feel like working. Karen is interesting, fun, patient, always well prepared, and knows perfectly how to adjust her teaching methods to your level and needs. I started with her as complete beginner and am now advanced. I highly recommend!!!

I've had quite a few lessons with and Karen would highly recommend her as a teacher. Our conversations are always engaging and interesting. She definitely spends a lot of time choosing articles adapted to the level and interest of her students. A portion of her class she spends reviewing various grammar points from the conversations which I find very useful. If you are looking to progress quickly with your spoken Spanish, her teaching method will help you immensely.

Karen prepares thoughtful, tailored lessons with structured activities, something that sets her apart from other teachers. Her passion for journalism helps her craft interesting discussions. I have been learning a great deal about Colombia through her and my spoken Spanish is rapidly improving. Highly recommend!

My classes with Karen are always a joy. She provides an interesting article to read for each class, which is great exposure to native content that you wouldn't encounter otherwise. The topic is then weaved into conversation. During the class, she asks great follow-up questions that provide you with ample opportunity to express yourself in Spanish and exercise all the input you've acquired. At the end of each class, the errors committed are reviewed (first by the student) which again helps hone the language. Would recommend, especially if you have an interest in culture or politics!
