About Karina's Teaching:
"I just really want to reiterate how much your teaching has exceeded my expectations. You have a gift of being able to teach in a way that makes sense and makes learning easy and fun. The material itself was not easy for me, but your teaching methods made it doable. [...] I just really hope you know you have a gift, and I hope you never change your teaching methods, for the sake of all people trying to learn mathematics. We really need more math teachers like you! Keep up the excellent work! " - Thea, CCSF
"I just wanted to thank you for teaching me. You were by far the best math teacher I've ever had--I used to hate math, but I actually kind of like it after taking your class." - Brian, CCSF
"Absolutely great! My son's tutoring experience with Karina was different from any other he had experienced. She was not only patient, but clearly dedicated to uncovering the roots of the obstacles and roadblocks he faced in understanding the material. She helped him to learn better study skills and understand his own learning style. [...] He also enjoyed working with her and looked forward to their sessions together. I know he will be able to apply the skills she taught him throughout his education. We are so glad to have found her!" - Jeanne, private tutoring
"I wanted to offer our girls some science enrichment activities to keep them engaged and interested in science and math. I was specifically looking for hands-on science activities that are fun and exciting. Karina exceeded my expectations and our girls have loved every session with her." - Yoon, private tutoring
"How often does your child have to chance to be taught in your home by a versatile, multi-lingual theoretical physicist who understands kids and loves teaching them? [...] We asked Karina if she could teach our daughter math in a meaningful way--through little science experiments that naturally lead to math problems – and she has done so seamlessly. We feel lucky to have found Karina as a tutor for our daughter and recommend her whole-heartedly" - Ben, private tutoring
"We worked with Karina for 4 months after removing our daughter from her class and until moving out of the SF Bay area. Had we remained local, our daughter would certainly still be studying with Karina [...] We continually expanded the time our daughter spent with Karina, scheduling every hour of her week that became available [...] She is a natural educator who transmits tremendous enthusiasm. As a high‐energy physics graduate student, she has a mastery of the material that allows her to show the connections between each lesson and the various disciplines, as well as the knowledge and insight to design enlightening experiments [...] Without hesitation, I highly recommend Karina Roitman as a teacher of your child, and I do so regardless of your child’s age [...] I would encourage you to engage Karina as your child’s primary instructor. Time spent with an inferior teacher is time wasted." - Patrick, homeschooling
"Karina is a truly inspirational teacher, who combines deep knowledge of math, science, language and culture with a special ability to connect and communicate with kids. Under her tutelage, my daughter went from seeing math as drudgery in middle school to seeking out Khan academy videos for fun in her free time. She is now excelling in advanced math in high school. I attribute this in great part to Karina’s influence. She didn’t merely teach math problems in isolation, but had my daughter engage in science activities to really get a feeling for the subject. I can’t imagine a more effective educator than Karina." - Ben, private tutoring
