KARYN
Math/Test Prep/Foreign Language Tutor: Patient and Knowledgeable
My teaching certification includes Mathematics, Spanish, and French. I tutor across a number of disciplines, but take my greatest pleasure in bringing an understanding of mathematics and foreign language to students struggling in those areas. I have taught Mathematics at both the community college and high school levels and have tutored math privately for over a decade. While teaching at the community college level, I also worked in the college's Math Tutoring Center and for Disability S...

Karyn helped me review math and science skills for the K-12 Florida Teacher Certification tests. Her examples were always helpful, and her explanations helped me "see" beyond the numbers and words on the page. I needed some basic geometry and algebra review, and Karyn helped me tremendously. Her review of science skills was also helpful. I worked on items and problems between tutoring sessions, and Karyn always reviewed items that I had questions about. I would definitely recommend her!

Karyn has taught my daughter learning strategies to help her increase her ACT scores. Arming her with skills have boosted her confidence and overall school performance.
Rita L. from Cantonment, FL
My daughter had attended group study sessions to prepare for the ACT, and she did have marginal improvement, but the improvement she had after working with Karyn one-on-one was substantial!
Kim M. from Navarre, FL
This tutor was extremely patient and had a good bearing of the material. She also explained things well and made sure the concepts were understood. I would use this tutor again.
Payton P. from Pensacola, FL
I've tutored with Ms. Karyn for Geometry and Algebra 2, she really makes math make sense! I feel much more confident and capable of meeting all of my goals. I will continue to tutor with Ms. Karyn to prepare for college. Thanks Ms. Karyn:)

I found Karyn while looking for a Math ACT prep for my son and daughter who had taken the ACT in the spring but had not done as well as I felt they could in math. She tutored to their very different strengths and learning styles, assigning work to fit them personally. They both felt that she was patient and knowledgeable and did not find her intimidating or condescending. She worked around their busy summer schedules and was flexible when we needed it. In September, they re-took the test and raised their ACT scores by six and four points- Money well spent. As a side note, they are finding their senior math to be much easier to catch on to with the refresher that Karyn gave them.
Karin M. from Pensacola, FL
Karyn is a very patient and knowledgeable tutor. She is the reason I was able to make a high “A†grade in calculus. Karyn wants her students to understand concepts and feel comfortable taking exams. I highly recommend her as a tutor. I am currently working with Karyn in a Biology course and I am very pleased with her skills.
Grace K. from Eglin Afb, FL
I have the highest praise for Kayrn H. She has been my tutor for General Physics I and I am doing quite well in my classes this semester because of her. In four weeks' time, I have jumped from an "F" average to a "C" (soon to be "B"). Most importantly she has all but erased my fear of math and the classroom anxiety that cam along with it. I cannot say enough about her knowledge of the work and her people skills. A lot of people know math, but only a select few are really good at teaching it. When I tutor for math down the road, I want to pass on to other students what Kayrn has passed on to me: Confidence!
Kim S. from Pensacola, FL
My daughter is very picky when it comes to tutors and Karyn has hit the ball out of the park with her. We are going to ask her if we could use her for Algebra 2. She is a huge blessing!!!
Kelly T. from Gulf Breeze, FL
Karyn went out of her way to tutor me on very short notice. Patiently & thoroughly working around my busy schedule & helped raise my Math ACT score 6 points!
Mary Ann K. from Cantonment, FL
Karyn is a wealth of knowledge. Impressed with knowledge and ease of teaching concepts to my daughter. Recommend as a tutor.
Blaire B. from Pensacola, FL
Karyn stuck with me through liberal arts math and statistics. I have always struggled with math and had to pass these two courses to graduate from college. She provided good examples and made sure I could work out the problems by myself. She had a positive attitude, listened to my concerns and her persistence helped me through these courses. Karyn went the extra step to help whenever needed.
Tip M. from Gulf Breeze, FL
Karyn tutored my daughters this fall in honors math courses. She is very kind and patient. Extremely knowledgable and always on time. She is enthusiastic and a great person to be around. She fits perfectly with our family. Highly recommend.
Felicia B. from Pensacola, FL
Karyn was very knowledgeable and patient with my son. He felt that her instruction was adequate and that he benefited from her instruction. She was very easy to reach by phone.
Connie B. from Pensacola, FL
Karyn helped my daughter develop a deeper understanding of mathematics. She helped my daughter understand math not just memorizing a formula but knowing why and how the formula worked. Karyn helped my daughter raise her SAT math score by 100 points. With Karyn's help, my daughter raised her ACT score by 3 points. We were very pleased with our daughters tutoring lessons. Karyn is very knowledgeable in all aspects of math. Algebra, trig, geometry and calculus. In addition to her knowledge of math, Karyn possesses a great deal of patience. We highly recommend Karyn as a tutor.
Mic O. from Pensacola, FL
Karyn has tutored both my son and daughter on various college subjects. Even with short notice requests, she does a superb job. We truly appreciate her.
Jena E. from Navarre, FL
Very helpful. I am much more relaxed about this class. I was lost before Karyn. She is great. Looking forward to today's lesson. She has shown me the way. I am very pleased. Thank you
Linda B. from Pensacola, FL
I enjoyed working with Karyn as my tutor. She takes her time and has a lot of patience with me; it helps me to relax and take the lesson in. She is very understand to my limitations with math and never makes me feel inadequate. She does a lot to prepare for our lessons which shows me she is really concerned for my success.
Peggy M. from Pensacola, FL
Karyn H. tutored my granddaughter for about 6 hours. This was a last minute thing for us. We only had about a week to work on my granddaughter being able to graduate high school. She had failed an Algebra II class and was in a self-based community school class after school for 3 hours. There were approximately 17 seniors in this class failing because of this teacher not communicating the the students. To may a long story short Karyn stepped up when I contacted her after getting her info from Wyzant and worked diligently with my granddaughter. I would highly recommend her for tutoring and I would call her again if I needed a tutor.
Rosemary L. from Milton, FL
Karyn is a wonderful tutor with a wealth of experience and possesses tons of patience with a struggling student, I am so grateful to Karyn for her tutoring my daughter. I know that my daughter would not have graduated; much less attained a "B" in Algebra II, without Karyn's help. Karyn has a great teacher's ability of breaking down and explaining concepts in numerous ways so that the student understands the concept. She is also adept at seeing when the student isn't grasping a concept and continues with examples until the student does grasp the concept. She continuously stressed and explained fundamentals so that my daughter was able to understand and succeed. Karyn worked with my daughter daily for 9 weeks and was truly amazing. She was always punctual, prepared, organized, and a pleasure to have in our home. In closing, I highly recommend Karyn as a Tutor in Algebra II.
James A. from Pensacola, FL
It was Friday when I contacted Karyn. I had a Spanish project due Monday on preterite and imperfect tense. Despite the short notice, she was willing to meet with me. She is a very nice lady and great with what she does.
Jade S. from Pensacola, FL
Talks a lot about retaining information and how to do it. Great analogies. You can see that she actually cares.
Christine H. from Milton, FL
Pre calculus-She had a lot of knowledge of the subject took her time to make sure my daughter understood what she was teaching her.
Debb A. from Gulf Breeze, FL
She started our lesson reviewing the basics of Algebra and assured me once I master the basics, I will have a better understanding of Algebra.
Jackie K. from Chantilly, VA
Very pleasant and planning to have her help prepping for SAT/ACT and then if any questions about Precalculus, will be addressed during tutoring sessions. Want 3 more points on the ACT to be eligible for 100% FL Bright Futures.
Corinn G. from Cantonment, FL
Karyn was excellent with my daughter. Our first meeting went very well. She reviewed what was requested and in an understandable manner. We are now scheduling our second session.
Dana J. from Cantonment, FL
I love the fact that she summarized the actual lesson and where my child is having his breakdown with understanding the material covered. I believe she will continue to help a great deal with bringing my child up to speed.
Grace G. from Pensacola, FL
Karyn began with the basics of trig functions and graphing. We went over many examples until I understood the concept. So far my grade in class has gone from a C- to a B+! She is very personable and uses time wisely.
Valerie F. from Pensacola, FL
Karyn is great with communication. We had been in contact arranging the first tutor session, and agreeing on what is best for my daughter's needs. Upon the first session, Karyn went straight to tutoring and knew the material very well-in and out. My daughter is in 6th grade -pre algebra. Thank you Karyn.
Laurie G. from Gulf Breeze, FL
Karyn is helping our 10th grade daughter with Spanish and geometry. We have used tutors before and she has felt that they weren't helpful. She was as complimentary of Karyn as a 10th grader being forced to have tutoring on a Sunday afternoon could be. We will be continuing to use Karyn's services.
Kendera A. from Pensacola, FL
Glad she was able to help. I wouldn't have been able to get through the lesson without her. She really knows her stuff.
Karla B. from Pensacola, FL
Karyn has helped my son tremendously in Algebra 2. She is very knowledgeable and makes it easy for to understand.
Robyn B. from Molino, FL
We had our second session with Karyn. She is very patient. She reviews any areas you need help with and helps you understand what mistakes you've made.
Sky H. from Gulf Breeze, FL
We would highly recommend Karyn. She was able to really identify areas of weakness & provided our student with extra help in targeted areas. She goes above & beyond for a tutor.
