Hi! My name is Karen. I am from San Francisco, California. I love teaching English to people from all over the world. I am organized, patient, kind and make lessons fun. My students are my first priority and I always make sure to put a lot of effort and care into each student and lesson. When I'm not teaching, I love to travel, spend time outdoors, cook, read, craft and dance.

I believe in learning language within a context. We use language to communicate thoughts and ideas so why should the learning process leave that out? In my classes, we don't ignore grammar and vocabulary studies but we use those skills to hold interesting conversations about topics that make you feel engaged and curious. Learning should involve deep thinking and lots of practice but also lots of laughs and a feeling of accomplishment.
