🎓 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.

🎓 Pei (China)
Karen is very nice, friendly and humorous. In my classes she always smiles and is amiable. She often inspires us to study and work hard at learning English for ourselves.
Her teaching method is very good. She encourages students from diverse backgrounds to think about and use different ways to learn English. I have learned the most from my voice, listening, writing and grammar than in any other class. She not only taught me how to talk properly and write well, but also taught me how to live better.

🎓 Maryam (Iran)
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.
