About Me

Hi! I am Karina, a Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence student at the University of Edinburgh. With 3 years of experience in tutoring maths and English, I am passionate about helping others and learning. I love learning and giving others a chance to shine. Alongside tutoring, I have been involved with several volunteering opportunities where I did beach clean ups, worked with local non profits, and created fundraisers for organizations I have been involved with.
My teaching style is flexible, I can adapt to your needs and keep the class fun and engaging, yet still effective!
A bit about me--I love reading, yoga, going on walks, and spending time with my family. I also enjoy exploring new places and ideas. I believe that having a good laugh and helping others out is important.
If all this floats your boat, feel free to reach out! :)

Spanish & English Lessons with Erika in Belgium :)
Teaching is my passion, and as a native speaker, I've had the pleasure of connecting with students worldwide, starting from my experiences in the Czech Republic where I used to teach English to children. We can delve into the intricacies of communication, focusing on what matters to you. I prepare students for tests like DELE and SIELE, tailoring my approach to your unique goals—whether it's acing an exam, exploring the world, or simply diving into language and culture. My lessons take a casual twist—we might stroll around, grab a coffee or tea, and make learning an enjoyable experience. The best part for me is when students express gratitude for our time together.
