About Me

I am certified to teach ESL in New York State (K-12) and received my Masters in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) through Fordham University. As a NYC Public School teacher for 6 years, and as a private tutor in South Korea, I have experience instructing elementary, middle school, and high school students, as well as adults, to reach their academic goals. Additionally, I have taught test preparation for the SAT, PSAT, SHSAT, NYS ELA Regents, NYSESLAT exams, and more. I specialize in increasing the literacy skills of all learners through vocabulary building, step-by-step approaches and inquiry. I use direct teaching, video, audio, PowerPoints, and even props to demonstrate concepts. I am excellent at helping students to organize their ideas for essays and to deliver clear arguments to defend any position. If you are looking to create and edit an essay (college application, English essay, science report, etc.), to make an oral presentation, or if you just need some useful writing advice, I will be happy to assist you in reaching your goals!

Q&A with Karan

If you think you can't do something, then that's exactly the thing you should try to do, especially if it's something you really want to do. Sounds simple, but we often get in our own way when we think our dreams are unattainable. "I'm not good enough, not smart enough, or not talented enough." But listen to your other voices instead. "I am smart enough; I can do it, even though I don't know how to yet." Let's work together to make what seems impossible, possible.
