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 fantastic. I’ve had several classes with her already, and each one is well-structured while still allowing plenty of flexibility for conversation. She’s always enthusiastic, genuinely pleasant, and creates an environment I truly enjoy. I look forward to every session with her. Already looking forward to the next lesson.
