Reviews

Karen is fantastic. Very helpful with a project my son had which involved effective communication and public speaking on a scientific subject. I highly recommend her!
- Elizabeth M. from Miami, FL
Karen J worked with my student to help refine and focus an essay. She spent time providing editing suggestions to help trim the length and kept the essay moving in the right direction. The result was a happy student who felt more confident about her essay. Karen provided the guide rails to keep my student on track and focused on producing an excellent cohesive essay. Thank you Karen! I highly recommend Karen to any student struggling with their essay.

Karen helped me us out when we were under pressure on deadline. Even through technical problems on Wyzant she understood what we were doing was time sensitive and got it done. She was professional and knowledgeable. She did exactly what we needed her to do. We would use her again.

Karen continuously asked my son questions and shared his own thoughts back to him to reflect his own natural gifts. Articulating thoughts can be super hard for him, but after only a few sessions, he went from a be-labored, unpleasant writing process (because he couldn't access his own gifts) to brilliant, descriptive creative writing! I knew that part of him was inside, but I couldn't seem to bring it forward. Slowly, slowly, he is beginning to work well with his talent and I couldn't be more grateful!

Karen was amazing, patient and knowledgeable. She guided my High School Senior through the process of editing her college application essay and gave her really clear and important things to incorporate to make her essay stand out. My daughter had a very rough draft and with Karen's help she now has a solid essay to submit. I 100% recommend Karen.

Karen helped me bring the best out of my personal statement. She listened to my story and directed me in my writing process. I am certain that with Karen's help my personal statement will stand out.

Very patient and kind. Helped me brainstorm and fit my essay into the max amount of words. Would give 10/5 stars if I could. Constantly communicated with me which showed how much she cares about her students

Karen worked with my son with his college essay. She was very knowledgeable and helpful and met with my son as needed to finish his essays on time. I highly recommend Ms. Karen!
- Sue K. from Chantilly, VA
I have a learning disability and Karen was able to help me with my writing for professional reasons. She is kind and listens too. It is nice when an extra set of eyes is needed to proofread. Of all the tutors I have had she is the most reliable and talented. and made me feel accomplished about how I expressed myself in the written word.
- Vanessa S. from Bradenton, FL
Karen and I have worked on my graduate application essay. We discussed my writings in detail. Karen guided me on how to do brainstorming and gave me valuable suggestions. After talking with her, I became more confident in my writing. She also edited my essays as well. I appreciate Karen's tutoring very much!
