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 an absolutely wonderful teacher. She is super super smart and interesting, and always has interesting questions to ask. She’s also very patient with me when I make errors in grammar or vocabulary, kindly supporting me with suggestions and things to work on. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

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!
