Karen is one of the best teachers on Italki. She has experience teaching and it shows. Here classes are always very well planned and executed. She uses methods that work very well and I have seen a significant increase in my Spanish in the time that I have been taking classes with her. I would highly recommend taking classes with her.

Karen es una profesora increíble! An intelligent conversationalist who knows how to keep the discussion flowing, Karen is always positive, has a smile on her face, and makes each lesson engaging. She is well-prepared for every lesson, and you can tell she wants to help her students succeed. After only three lessons, I am already grateful to have found her! Try a lesson with her. You will be glad you did!

Karen es una profesora bien cualificada, y realmente me encantan mis clases con ella. Hablamos de temas distintos e interesantes, y siempre me siento cómoda durante nuestras conversaciones. Nunca tengo miedo de hacerle preguntas o cometer errores, porque siempre está dispuesta a ayudarme con la gramática y estructura correcta, dándome ejemplos y explicaciones claras. Además, Karen es muy motivadora, y quiere que yo beneficie de cada clase. La recomiendo como una maestra divertida, entusiasta y muy eficaz.

Karen is an amazing teacher, and more than that, a fabulously intelligent and fun person to have a conversation with! She has given me priceless direction in finding music, podcasts and lectures in Spanish that are stimulating and engaging, and provide fuel for our lessons that fly by. I could not recommend her more highly! Gracias, Karen, y hasta la próxima!

Karen is a prepared, patient and engaged teacher. She always comes to class with an interesting photo or article to prompt our discussions. I also like the way she makes corrections in an extremely organized and understandable chart.
