I have taken several lessons with Karen so far and I've found her to be an excellent tutor and a wonderful conversationalist. She always comes to our lessons with topics prepared and she provides instruction conducive for improving conversational skills while also improving upon grammar and incorporating new vocabulary. I would highly recommend Karen for anyone looking to improve their Spanish regardless of how much they know going in! 10/10!

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!!!

Karen is a wonderful, patient teacher with a very conversational style that is perfect for me. I’d highly recommend her to anyone interested in global politics, current events, etc. We always manage to have lively discussions despite my limited Spanish-speaking ability. Outside of class, she also always recommends articles and videos that I find super engaging. In summary, I’d recommend Karen to anyone.
