The Inspired Academics Approach
Karen French joined WFSB to talk about what makes one-to-one tutoring effective and how the right support can help students build confidence, strengthen their skills, and reduce academic stress.
Private Tutoring
One-to-one guidance in learning that can provide a deeper instruction, extra practice, and preparatory study.
We address all elementary/middle school subject areas including math, reading, writing, study skills, SSAT test preparation, honors courses, and more.
We offer most high school subjects, including all levels of Spanish, French, Math, Science, English and generalized work completion support. We also have a specialized service for writing college application essays, especially for Juniors/Seniors.
“Our daughter has flourished through her work with Karen. Karen brings such joy and love into her tutoring! Not only has my daughter’s academic performance skyrocketed, she LOVES her sessions with Karen. Karen’s combination of joy and learning is exactly what we were hoping for!”

Homeschool Teaching or Consult
A teacher can deliver instruction in one or multiple subject areas for students learning at home OR an educator can provide guidance to parents in curriculum choices and planning instruction for their students learning at home.
Whether we are teaching your children or informing your choices, homeschool consulting can provide direction and comfort toward your greater homeschooling goals.
“Karen has been an invaluable part of our kids’ education, and their lives as a whole! She has helped us, as parents, navigate the daunting task of structuring a homeschool curriculum. She has flexibly adapted to the unique learning styles of our two children, helping each to maximize their learning … Without Karen’s efforts, we simply would not have been able to offer them this deeply personalized opportunity!”

Support Services for Special Needs
A tutor can provide instruction using specialized programs to train learners in accommodating for their personal learning challenges. These challenges might include dyslexia, below grade level reading or math achievement, ad(h)d, anxiety, and more.
Addressing specific weak areas allows students to integrate their personal best methods for learning over the course of a lifetime.
“… Mrs. French is so FUN and KIND and knows how to teach her … Almost immediately after her work started we noticed how fast she was learning and improving and at the same time happier and very very proud of herself and her work. Karen French is one of the most creative, knowledgeable and professional teachers we know.
