About Me

Hello, I'm Karen, a student at the University of Maryland. I am currently studying secondary education, and exploring the possibility of either teaching math or social studies. I am passionate about education, and I want to some day become a teacher because I feel that teachers (and tutors) can make such an important difference in people's lives. While I may be young, I have a great deal of tutoring experience through a program at my high school, the Teacher Academy of Maryland. In this program, I took two classes on education and completed an internship at a local middle school. In my internship, I not only got to work one-on-one with students, but I also got to teach entire classes. I taught a wide variety of students- from the most advance 8th graders in the school, to struggling 7th graders with a big attitude. I found the experience incredibly rewarding, and I'd love to continue making a difference by tutoring. I especially enjoy tutoring math- I love coming up with creative ways to make it exciting and fun, while also providing students with a strong understanding in the subject.
