Karen Gee is an education advocate who strongly believes in finding personalized solutions to ease the frustration and duress students often feel. With proper support, Karen believes every student can achieve academic success and develop imperative skills that lead to self-confidence and autonomy.
A significant portion of Karen’s time during her graduate education at Dominican University was spent studying the international shadow education sector, locally known as tutoring. Her research found that the most significant factor in a successful tutoring interaction is the interpersonal relationship between the student and the tutor. Providing an encouraging and safe environment allows students to fully immerse themselves in difficult content and eventually find success. Karen enjoys working with teenagers and teaching life skills in addition to academics.
Karen lives in Mill Valley with her partner, a professional bullfighter and equestrian enthusiast. In her off time, Karen is an avid traveler who always has a few good books lined up on her beloved e-reader.
