Born in Indiana, Pennsylvania, Karen Wilkins attended the local public schools and after graduation, moved to Clarks Summit, Pennsylvania where she attended Baptist Bible College.  She graduated in 1980 with a Bachelor of Religious Education (B.S.) with an emphasis on K-8^th grades.  After graduation, she worked with the Association for Retarded Citizens (ARC), evaluating and developing educational plans for clients attending the programs at ARC.

Upon moving to Florida, Karen taught in private schools, teaching first through 11^th grades.  In 1984, she accepted the Department Chairmanship of the Grace Christian Schools of Pasco high school. While at GCS, she taught English, writing, and history as well as coordinating the high school department.

Karen left the formal workforce to raise her two daughters, home educating them from preschool through high school graduation, seeing them successfully complete college. During these years, Karen led children’s ministries at her church.  She developed and implemented programs for training other leaders to teach in these ministries.

Karen’s expertise and experience in teaching English grammar, writing, and elementary mathematics has been an asset in her four years as a private tutor.  She enjoys the challenge of creating specialized tools for hands-on learners and loves to see the delight in the eyes of a child when they finally “get it” using those tools.

“My desire is to see each child I work with succeed and will use as many strategies as it takes to help your child experience success!”
