Teaching has been my passion. With 11 years of experience teaching online and in person, I have learned to effectively teach and share my knowledge, catering to the needs of my students. Sharing insights and experiences is a great way to motivate learners to voice their thoughts and ideas. It's always enjoyable to converse with people from diverse backgrounds and interests. Seeing progress and improvement from my students is the best reward for me. Let’s learn together. :)

Student Testimonials 

It is very encouraging to hear reviews and feedback about my teaching style. These are some of the reviews provided by my students after they had lessons with me. 

"I took the course with about 20 people from other companies over three days, but KAREN was by far the best. Her pronunciation is beautiful, the conversation is fun, she teaches you the correct way to say things and other expressions, she helps you practice for interviews, and she helps you create a curriculum. Above all, she smiles and responds to your questions, so you can take the course with confidence."

The teacher was calm and polite, just like a teacher would expect. I was able to enjoy English conversation in a relaxed atmosphere without feeling nervous. I would like to take this class again.

Even if it took me a while to think, the teacher was patient and I was able to organize my thoughts easily, which made the class fun.  (January 18, 2024)

The teacher was very kind! I recommend it. (October 12, 2023)

When I told her how much English I wanted to use, she responded flexibly to my needs and progressed the lesson accordingly. Her pronunciation was very beautiful and her choice of words was natural, which was helpful for me. (May 12, 2023 )

She gives us great lessons every time! 25 minutes is not enough time at all. This is my fourth year with Weblio English Conversation. I have taken lessons from many different teachers, but Karen is by far the best teacher in terms of vocabulary, pronunciation, topicality, friendliness, and fun. I really love her.
