Sobre Mim
Professor da italki desde 21 de Oct de 2021
Tópico de interesseHistóriaCiênciasTecnologiaLeituraSaúde
I am a qualified microbiologist and ran my own laboratory for more than ten years. When I left my profession, I decided to pursue my other love and take up teaching. I love reading and learning new things, walking and keeping fit doing Pilates. I am firm believer in a healthy body and an active mind.
I am a TEFL level 5 teacher, certified to teach English as a second language. I also am certified to tutor students preparing to write the IELTS exam. I am passionate about the English language and qualified as a teacher in order to be able to share that love with my students. I am relaxed and friendly, never critical when my students make mistakes. My aim is to help them in every possible way to achieve their goals. I specialize in teaching adults both in Business English, Conversational English as well as IELTS preparation. Please note that I do not teach children as the teaching materials I use are not suitable for children.
I tailor my lesson to suit the individual students needs and interest. My teaching style is to present, practice and produce. We discuss the lesson topic, the students practice while I check and correct their understanding if necessary and then the students are allowed to practice what they have learned. I am relaxed and friendly, for my students to learn effectively, it is important for them to feel comfortable and to enjoy what they are learning.

Karen is an outstanding tutor when it comes to exam preparation like IELTS and TOEFL. She is highly experienced and, although she is a native English speaker, she understands very well the challenges that non-native learners face. She offers clear strategies and practical advices on exam difficulties. Thank you, Karen, for helping me prepare for the TOEFL! I would recommend Karen to anyone who needs to prepare for the TOEFL or IELTS.
Karen ist eine hervorragende Lehrerin, besonders wenn es um Prüfungsvorbereitung IELTS und TOEFEL geht. Sie ist sehr erfahren und versteht trotz ihrer Muttersprache Englisch die typischen Schwierigkeiten von Nicht-Muttersprachlern sehr gut. Vielen Dank, Karen, für Deine Unterstützung bei meiner TOEFL-Vorbereitung!

I am very grateful I booked this 20-hour course with Karen, she used different digital resources that enriched and facilitated the understanding of the treated arguments, she also provided support materials, assigned and corrected the homework for each lesson. In each class, we worked on the different skills for the IELTS exam, especially those I struggled with the most, adapting a program to my needs.
Thank you Karen for being a kind, methodical, and very professional teacher. I recommend her!
