Karen especially enjoys working with executive-level migrants. She understands the challenges of moving between cultures and acquiring a language. She’s experienced these challenges herself while working in France, Britain, the Netherlands, Israel, and Australia.

Karen, the facilitator, was fantastic and created a warm and educative tone to the day, it made learning much easier. Many thanks.
Karen is a very good trainer, inclusive without picking on people, and makes everyone feel comfortable to answer in the group sessions.
Karen did a fantastic job instructing and turned what seemed like a challenging learning session, with grammar and all, into something enjoyable and impactful. I learned a lot and will definitely remember this experience.
