"Hello, my name is Karen! I am an experienced educator dedicated to helping students succeed academically while building their confidence. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Interdisciplinary Studies with a minor in Reading, which has prepared me to teach students in grades 1st through 8th. I have a Master’s in Curriculum and Instruction, allowing me to create engaging, effective lessons tailored to each student’s needs. Additionally, I am certified in ESL (EC-12) and Special Education (EC-12) in Texas, which enables me to support a wide variety of learners, including English language learners and students with unique learning needs. Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to work with students on reading, writing, and preparing for state assessments. I also specialize in designing individualized lessons that address each student’s strengths and challenges.

I have experience working in after-school tutorials and small group instruction, which has helped me build strong, meaningful relationships with students while supporting their academic growth. I am well-versed in the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) standards and ensure that my lessons are aligned to help students meet or exceed expectations. My goal is not only to improve students’ academic skills but also to foster a love for learning and develop critical thinking abilities that will benefit them long after they leave the classroom.

If you're interested in working together, I offer a free initial consultation where we can discuss your child’s needs, goals, and any challenges they may be facing. This meeting will give us the opportunity to plan the best path forward for their success, and I will also send you my policies, including cancellation notice guidelines, via email before we begin lessons. I am confident that my experience, personalized approach, and dedication to student success would make me a great fit for your child. Together, we can help unlock their full potential and ensure they are supported every step of the way." less...
