Remote tutoring by phone or Skype!
|
|
Q: What do some smart students in Paris, Geneva, London, Kampala, Hong Kong, Los Angeles, Albany and Miami have in common?
A: They all do their test prep with Karen online via Skype!
Tutoring by telephone or Skype (Internet video chat) is a great option for busy students - and those who don't live in NYC - to take my lessons. Tutoring can be done entirely
remotely or by the usual one-to-one in-person lessons supplemented by remote lessons.
Save time by taking lessons at your computer and get more bang for study buck with no minimum lesson requirement.

Study with a Friend
|
|
I offer students the option to study in semi-private lessons of 1-3 students at reduced tuition.
|
|
If you have a friend with whom you think you would study well, I would be happy to set up a trial lesson for you both
at a substantial discount on the cost of private lessons.
I will make sure that your learning styles and study priorities
are a good match for a joint course of study and will work with both of you to enable you to get the most out of your study with me.
