Experienced tutor in English in New York, Karoline offers private lessons tailored to your needs.

Karoline was a wonderful tutor, and I worked with her for a long time when I was preparing my exams and application for universities in the US. She was always a steady, confident, and engaging tutor. I learned a lot from her that I would not have learned by studying by myself and/or using books.

Our sessions involved specific approaches to taking the SAT and Subject Tests. I was familiar with the content on both tests, but she was helpful for being more skilled and more careful. She had specific strategies and overall tips about the test that were unique. For example, she taught me various ways of marking the reading comprehension passages that gave me more focus on the questions first and underlining key phrases in the questions. This approach was beneficial, because I could watch for the questions as I read the passage and answer them correctly. She was very good with me even though I am an international student, and my language skills were not completely excellent. She spoke clearly and helped me solve problems in many ways. She was especially helpful with my reading and essay skills, because those were my weaknesses. Karoline was punctual, organized, and professional. I felt very comfortable around her (she has a great sense of humor) and consider her my friend.

I worked with Karoline several months the first semester of my senior year. She was wonderful! She was able to dissect why I had the mental and academic barriers I did, and then we worked together through my trouble areas multiple times. She was great with follow-up and reexamining issues that came up. We took several practice tests together, simulating the real testing environment, which helped.

Positive interaction, patient and firm, funny too. She was able to effectively tutor me to my full SAT potential, and I'm very happy about it.
