🎓 Miran (Korea)
Karen, I have been afraid of English before I met you. Your soft smile and voice taught me to understand pronunciation and grammar easily. You always encourage me that 'You can do it'. Because of your high standard in teaching, I was led to study English naturally. I will never forget your influence in my studying English.

I have learned more grammar in Karen's class. She motivated and guided me with her kindness. I will always remember her because of her kind face and the things I learned from her. I like her personality very much because she is kind and friendly, and she motivates us to be better. Thank you for your efforts. I wish you more success.
