She helped with my class materials, and I got good grades. I believe my reading comprehension and my writing has improved significantly. Also, I learned a lot of vocabulary and American expressions. Thank you Karen!

I am an international student studying at KU toward my doctoral degree who seeks to improve my spoken English. Karen is the best ESL tutor I have ever had. She has always been well prepared for every lesson with me, bringing materials that are very helpful for me such as commonly used words in sports and transition word list. Besides, she enthusiastically encourages me to speak my English out loud which gives me confidence moving forward. Frankly speaking, I am more prone to call her a teacher rather than a tutor because of the tremendous amount of knowledge and experience she brings to every lesson with me. I am so fortunate to have her as my ESL teacher.
