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! :)
