About Kari

My goal is to provide a positive and successful educational tutoring experience for K-5 students. I love teaching children and helping them to grow in knowledge and the ability to solve problems. My strengths are asking questions to facilitate learning or encouraging students to overcome a challenge. Children thrive on positive reinforcement--whether learning to read, spell or problem solve in math or science. My experience is diverse--learning/homework support for 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th graders; taught preschool/early elementary art classes (at Creative Movement/precursor to Linx); and was an award winning art teacher for K-8th grade at a small private school. Taught Sunday School for many years. Parent of three children in their twenties. My son has a learning disability so I have a lot of patience and persistence. My personality is caring, calm, creative and inquisitive. Graduated from CMU w. honors in Design.
