Hi, my name is Karen and I was born and raised in Fresno, California.

0:05

I got my liberal studies bachelor's at Fresno State or

0:11

California State University Fresno.

0:13

I also got my teaching credential there back in

0:18

2002.

0:19

I taught sixth grade for about seven years,

0:23

and then I stayed at home with my daughters when they were little.

0:27

Once they got older and started going to school,

0:31

I wanted to get back into education,

0:34

but I wasn't quite sure what I wanted to do.

0:36

So in 2020 I got a job at Mathnasium North Fresno

0:41

as the assistant center director and worked my way up to center

0:47

director In my role as center director,

0:50

I manage the day-to-day operations of the business,

0:55

and I also provide quality math instruction to all of our students.

0:59

I have worked with students ranging from kindergarten up through college and

1:05

feel confident and comfortable working with all ages.

1:09

I have a minor in biology.

1:13

I was pre-med when I first started college and then decided that I wanted to go

1:18

into education.

1:19

So I'm able to tutor in English.

1:23

That includes reading, writing, all of those kinds of things,

1:28

and also math and science.

1:31

But I am willing to give anything a try and very confident in my

1:36

abilities, and I look forward to working with you. Thank you so much.
