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 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.

Another great class with Karen. She keeps things fresh with new topics and sharp follow-up questions that push me to think and speak more. The mix of learning and fun is still just right, and I’m still looking forward to every session

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!

Karen es una profesora bien cualificada, ¡y realmente me encantan mis clases con ella! Me manda artículos sobre temas interesantes para leer y comentar en clase, y siempre me siento cómoda durante nuestras conversaciones. Nunca tengo miedo de hacerle preguntas ni de 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 amable, divertida, entusiasta y muy eficaz!

I’ve been taking lessons with Karen for about a year and a half. She’s patient and easy to talk to, which matters when you’re still making the same mistakes. She keeps a Google Doc of the things I need to work on and we go over it, so the feedback doesn’t just disappear after the class. She used to be a journalist and you can tell — she listens and asks good questions to keep the conversation moving. I’d strongly recommend her.
