You were very friendly, very understanding and very very helpful. Very patient and never made me feel dumb for asking questions which is a huge thing for me. You have really helped me feel more prepared and confident for this SAT. Thank you so much!

You're super awesome! I have been self-studying Calculus because my school doesn't do AP Classes, we can just take the exams. I have been struggling a lot to find resources, etc. and sometimes it's very time consuming. I really enjoy listening to your though process and reasoning, it helps me understand the problem really well. Sometimes I can get the right answer but your ideas make it so much easier and quicker. I really appreciate what you're doing and I wish you all the best!

Probably obvious who this is at this point :) [Trying to get that auditing requirement] I have enjoyed every single one of your sessions so far, because you are so accommodating of everyone's needs! Even though you had less attendees this time, instead of being down, you took the opportunity to explain obscure topics to a deeper degree than usual - nothing short of what I would expect from a tutor of your standard. Keep up the great work!

Fantastic session, as always! Karen's explanations were really helpful, and she always creates a welcoming environment for her students.

Learner · 2 yr. ago

Really helpful session! I understand the concepts I was having trouble with a lot better now.

Learner · 2 yr. ago

Fantastic! Resolved all my questions and led an informative, fun, and thorough discussion.

Tutor · 2 yr. ago

It was a great interactive section; she provided good explanations, and if we still got stuck in one question, she tried her best to reexplain the problem. She had a lot of patience with us and trying to go over all the questions.

Thank you for the last 4 weeks! This has truly been helpful for me to pinpoint my mistakes and understand SAT questions that were confusing before. I definitely will use my knowledge and notes from these tutoring lessons to help me prep for the SAT test. This was a great way to build up my confidence through math, as that's such a big part of the SAT test. Again thanks for the help and I wish the best for you!

Karen was enjoying her role. She was flexible with the content covered and let the conversation flow smoothly instead of controlling it. Her willingness to listen and seek room for growth was evident.

Tutor · 2 yr. ago

You took so much efforts in creating the slides, quiz and even extending the class! You made sure that we felt confident before moving on to the next question. It was a great session :) Thank you so much!!!

Learner · 2 yr. ago

You were extremely helpful. You were very kind, and you went at a perfect pace. I also liked how you wrote out the equations and gave examples.

Learner · 2 yr. ago

Karen was super friendly with all of her students and all of us felt comfortable with her!!!

Learner · 2 yr. ago

The explanations were really great and I was able to understand all the material. It was really helpful.

Tutor · 2 yr. ago

I literally am crying this was so helpful. It's my first class on SATs English here and God I had no support in my locality

Learner · 2 yr. ago

I don’t know how but your way of explaining complex topics make so much sense to me. I tend to struggle with a lot of topics because I am definitely more of a hands on learner which was difficult in a virtual school setting since I tend to not ask a lot of questions even though I know I should. I really appreciate how attentive you are and if you continue doing topic like tonight’s, I will probably pass the exam because of you :’).

The session was great, and I got an opportunity to learn something interesting and unique, looking forward to more such sessions

Tutor · 3 yr. ago

Hi Karen, The session was very well planned and students were encouraged to try every step. You patiently waited after each step and made sure that everyone tried to redo what you showed. Asking if anyone is struggling and helping them out was amazing too. The idea of having sessions on Photoshop or similar software skills is interesting. I am happy you did that!

Tutor · 3 yr. ago

You were super patient and offered helpful practice problems during our session! I liked your rating system and will definitely incorporate it into my own tutoring sessions. Also, the personal feedback you gave afterward was kind and constructive. Overall, thank you for a fantastic session!

Tutor · 1 yr. ago

Hey Karen! This was awesome. Your session definitely helped me gain a better understanding of using trig identities while integrating. I can't wait for the next session!

Learner · 1 yr. ago

Explanations are too good, knows when to stop someone that dominates the session discussion, and really cares if learners are getting the material. As Karen would say herself: "So, give me a rating out of 10:" And the fact of the matter is that this session deserves a resounding 11.

Tutor · 2 yr. ago

I've always had to think a bit harder about Riemann sums, and now I can process the math behind it much faster. You explained the questions given really well, to such a point that I felt that I could have taught it that way again myself. This was overall a great session!

Learner · 2 yr. ago

Slope fields and diff-Eqs are definitely two of my weaker areas in calc, but now I'm a lot more confident with how they work. It was fun how everyone got to contribute to that one slope field question, and it turned out super colorful in the end! Thanks for sharing resources with extra practice questions as well; I will be using those to study a lot in the coming weeks :D

Learner · 2 yr. ago

You did a fantastic job for the session! You kept the learners engaged and made sure they were comfortable engaging in any way possible. You also addressed every leaner's questions and concerns with the same sort of passion. The class was very interactive as well! Great job!

Tutor · 2 yr. ago

This was a super good session! I joined both as a learner and a tutor (trying to learn from the best before I start tutoring on my own!). In addition to being an example of excellent tutoring, it was an excellent review for limits before my BC exam next month. Thank you so much!

Tutor · 2 yr. ago

She was amazing in guiding us for the SAT pilot. I personally felt more prepared after the session

Tutor · 2 yr. ago

Hi Karen! I'm actually registered for your SAT series but missed this session because of a conflict, so I took this (auditing) as an opportunity to catch up as well. 😄 I just want to say that I really like that you explain why answer choices are wrong (in addition to why one is right, of course). It helps a lot, especially for SAT questions, because learners are then able to understand what part of their thinking led them to the incorrect answer, and they can adapt for next time. As I watched the session, I found myself automatically categorizing the questions into the types that you mentioned in Session #1, and I was able to quickly and accurately respond to almost every single question! Thank you so much; your sessions have helped a lot. - Athena Z

This session really helped me solidify my understanding of circle equation problems! I've struggled a ton with the problems in the past, but now I'm super confident about doing them. Thank you so much.

Learner · 2 yr. ago

Very structured, engaging, and well-prepared presentation. Good use of polling and chat as well. Keep it up!

Tutor · 2 yr. ago

I loved the session. Although I had to leave a little early, it was very informational. She planned the lesson really well and her explanation was clear.

Tutor · 2 yr. ago

I honestly cannot say enough great things about you. I learn a lot everytime I come to your sessions. Thank you so much, once again. Keep up the great work!

Tutor · 2 yr. ago

my friend and I have been trying to go to every single one of your sessions for the past few weeks and we literally love you. like we go to other tutor sessions and are always saying we miss karen. thank you so much for everything you've been so helpful and patient I hope I have a reason to use schoolhouse again for SAT prep maybe!

Learner · 2 yr. ago

This session helped me so much. I feel ready for the AP Calc AB Exam in May!

Tutor · 3 yr. ago

Just wanted to say thank you for the session, it was super helpful! I have a lot of new tricks and tips I can use to help me on the reading portion, and I got a lot of my questions answered.

Learner · 3 yr. ago

A very organized and productive session! She is super helpful and makes sure everyone is on the same page. Highly recommend!
