Hi there! I’m Karen, a native English speaker from Toronto, Canada. As an extrovert, I love chatting and meeting new people, which is why I’ve developed such a big passion for teaching English. Let’s connect and have some fun learning together!
Me as a Teacher
I hold a bachelor’s degree in Psychology from the University of Toronto, along with over 300 hours of English teaching training, plus specialist certifications in business English and teaching children. Since 2022, I’ve been exploring Asia while teaching English, sharing my skills in phonics, conversational English, business English, grammar & writing, and reading & speaking with students in Hong Kong and South Korea. It’s been an amazing journey!

Expect engaging topics, self-checkpoints, and handy tips to help you level up your English game and build your confidence along the way!

Karen is an excellent tutor. She is kind, supportive, and informative. I learned a lot in her course and would highly recommend it.
The teacher is very patient and has a sweet smile. She will recommend corresponding courses according to the students' different situations. I look forward to learning with her in the future.
