Karen Belrin Ishii: One-to-One Tutoring
 
Welcome to Karen Berlin Ishii tutoring!

 
Karen I am a highly qualified, experienced academic and test prep tutor, teaching students in New York and Boston. I will come to your home, or any place convenient to you, and tutor you one-to-one in reading, writing, organization skills, essay writing, grammar, math, and other school subjects, academic skills or preparation for standardized tests such as the SAT, ACT, SSAT, ISEE, SHSAT, COOP, TACHS and HSPT. I work with students of all ages - from grade school to adult - to improve skills and understanding in most academic subjects.
 
I pride myself on helping all of my students reach their academic goals. Excellence in teaching, convenience, reliability and value are just some of the reasons you will be happy you studied with me.

boy at library on phone I am pleased to offer tutoring by telephone or Internet video chat as an option for busy students. Depending on the subject, tutoring can be done entirely by telephone or by the usual one-to-one in-person lessons supplemented by telephone lessons.

Tutoring by phone or online video chat is a great resource for students whose schedules preclude regular in-person lessons or who want to supplement their in-person tutoring time in a super-convenient and economical way!
